Good morning!
There is love in the air and it is not a passing fling or a summertime romance - no there is stability and with it, a new path will unfold - one that will lead to a great departure from where you are today.
The crow unable to gain a clear understanding of a situation that was causing him some friction decided to step away from the action and retreat into a garden alone. Sitting on a branch, it slipped - however instead of falling off it was able to grab hold of the branch. As it hung upside down contemplating its next move to free itself - the bird received a flash of inspiration for how to ease the friction that was causing it stress.
The Hanged Man enters this morning because at some point you had the ability to see a situation wasn't working or wasn't serving your needs and as a result, you retreated or walked away from it to let the events play out without your input or interference. This may have been a time when you decided to not deal with someone else's drama in order to not be swept up in something non-productive. It was your letting go of any control over the situation that led you to this point today.
The crows have yet again found each other. Although space and time separate them with each life they enter - it is their destiny to reconnect. In doing so, however, choices need to be made because when they do come together each crow brings a new experience and an opportunity to live a different life for the other.
At the heart of today's reading is The Lovers and with it a connection with someone that has the potential to change your life. This person will feel karmically connected to you and if this is a romantic meeting you will be swept off your feet. This is not the energy of a fun weekend fling - this is someone who will have a significant impact on your life - one that will forever alter its course. The decision to move forward with this person will not only prove beneficial to you both as a partnership it will greatly impact your future in a way that will create a distinct - then versus now.
This is an exciting time - one that will have butterflies fluttering around your stomach as there energy in the air feels electric.
Although the Lovers may indicate a budding new romantic partnership - it may also point to discovering a new love or passion for something - something that you feel connected to on a soul-level. For me that is how I feel about making art for tarot cards - it is my passion. Maybe you too have recently discovered something that you want to spend the rest of your life doing!
The crow spotting a place to rest and assess lands on a wand that marks the head of a path. In the distance is a city the bird has yet to discover and is intrigued by the possibilities that it may hold. With white feathers floating from the sky and fresh spring flowers blooming - the bird sees this as a sign that the path will lead to a new beginning one that is divinely blessed.
Supporting the Lovers is the Ace of Wands indicating that the new relationship marks the beginning of a lifelong romance. Although this will be a time of significant change - the change will unfold effortlessly and without much friction - you will sense that it is destiny as you break from an old way of viewing your life and circumstances to a new more optimistic one.
By taking the time to get clear on what you want in your life and by letting go of situations or relationships that were keeping you from feeling fulfilled as suggested by the Hanged Man in the past position you opened the door for a karmic relationship or passion to enter as shown by the Lovers. Having the Ace of Wands is just the icing on the cake as it creates the perfect energy for new beginnings to flourish.
