"Now is the time for quiet retreat and rest. It is a wonderful opportunity to nourish your heart, mind and soul. The Universal Mother has taken you into her womb in preparation for a rebirth. You are being called to rediscover yourself. Take a clear evaluation of your life, relationships and your own self worth. Take time away in solitude. During this time of reflection, you may notice things that no longer serve you simply fall away. Things will change during this powerful process. It's OK. Everything is exactly how it should be. (pulled from the Path of the Soul destiny deck by Cheryl Lee Harnish)

"This card deals with relationships involving an emotional bond. It could be between new lovers, kindred souls, family members, friends, business associates, or partners; it could even relate to a project or a specific situation. This would be the perfect time to realize that all relationships are really about you! Notice when you interact with different people in your life. Are they giving you energy or taking it away? Is there an even exchange? There should be an equal balance between giving and receiving energy.

Relationships are mirror images of your own life: They reflect how you feel and treat yourself, and how you react and respond to various situations and individuals around you. Each and every union is an opportunity for soul growth. (pulled from The Psychic Tarot oracle deck by John Holland)

"This card signifies the need for patience, self-control, adjustment, moderation, and balance when dealing with others, as well as yourself. This could be in the areas of how you think and work; and how you handle school, recreation, the people in your life, or the spiritual path that's set before you.

As a soul, you have more than one aspect of yourself to draw on for support -- it's all about integration and learning to blend and balance both the physical and the spiritual. You're an ethereal being in a physical body enjoying a human experience. Therefore, since you're both, you should honor all of you. If you go through life denying yourself the joy of combining these aspects, you're missing out on so much of what the world has to offer. Why accept a life that's half lived?

The Patience Card reminds you to open your heart and mind; and allow yourself to listen to other people's ideas, thoughts, and perspectives. Blissful harmony can be achieved when everyone learns to work as one -- all benefit. Listening, sharing, and reaching out will help you renew your faith in yourself and humankind. You'll become mroe aware of the miracles around you as well as the ones that you have a hand in creating.

"This card signifies a time when you may experience stagnation, discontent, and boredom. Feelings of restlessness and impatience surround you. A relationship, project, or situation isn't moving forward fast enough and could be draining you emotionally and energetically.

You're longing for change -- and although one door may be closing, don't focus all of your energy on it, as opportunity will soon knock. A window or another door could quickly open, and if your attention and awareness isn't focused, you could easily miss it. Watch for synchronistic events that bring books, speakers, workshops, and new people into your life. Any of these could possibly hold a message for you. Have faith in divine timing, and know that everything changes for a reason. This card acts as a reminder that it's a perfect time to reevaluate and search within your heart and soul for fresh insights." (pulled from The Psychic Tarot oracle deck by John Holland)

"Through this card, the manifestation of growth is on the horizon. You're the creator, and the seeds that have been planted in the past -- whether they were happiness, comfort, abundance, prosperity, family, children, ideas, or even thoughts -- are now ready to give birth into your world. Be patient as you watch your seeds take root and grow. Nurture them as they become strong and healthy.

Open yourself to the life force of the Universe. This card also represents femininity and Mother Earth, who is calling to you. The arms of her beauty are reaching out; she wants to embrace you on her seashores, mountains, forests, and gardens -- go to her and meet her halfway. Acknowledge that the same energy that makes up the heavens, earth, plants, animals, and mineral kingdom is also part of you. Start nurturing yourself, and infuse your soul with love and compassion. Soon others will see and feel your devotion.

As you interact with others around you now, or even if you're in the midst of solving a problem, use gentle care and kindness as you handle such situations. This isn't a time for you to be inconsiderate, possessive, domineering, forceful, or pushy. Act from the loving space of your heart center. The benevolent energy that resides there wil assist you in making sacrifices in order to care for and help others, as well as yourself.

"This card represents the obstacles, power struggles, and challenges that you must face in order to overcome them. This could be a difficult period to get through, but it's not impossible if you open your mind and see the bigger picture of how something went wrong. Don't get caught up in it, just pause and stand back for clarity -- observe where adjustments are required or which decisions may need to be changed to enable you to move forward in a positive direction.

Life really is all about learning; don't play the victim. Take the knowledge you've gained from this experience so that you can apply it to similar situations in the future. This card often comes forth when competition is around you, whether it's in your personal or business life. This is an excellent time to think creatively and ask yourself, How can I make myself shine above all the rest? (pulled from The Psychic Tarot oracle deck by John Holland)

"This card comes forth when you have a vision or goal that you want to achieve, but too many choices, scattered energies, and unrealistic expectations prevent you from attaining what you desire. Opportunities are bountiful, but there's a decsion to be made at this time. This card reminds you that the options now around you may appear to have all the influence and power -- but in reality, you're in control and responsible for all the choices you make.

Take time to think, analyze, and carefully look at the different possibilities that are in front of you. Don't be hasty just because you feel pressured; and don't be influenced by people who have no idea, expertise, or education in the area of your choices. A focused, wise decision far outweighs one made emotionally or in desperation. (pulled from The Psychic Tarot oracle deck by John Holland)

Message from Vesta: "There's an undying flame within your soul, and it's the light, seed, and spark of your consciousness. Your outer world reflects your inner world. Take a look around your home. Does it reflect warmth? If not, this is easily remedied and oh-so-important to do. It's a simple task of using your creative imagination to add warm energy to your household, such as lighting the fireplace or some candles, adding cozy blankets and pillows, or displaying greeting cards and fresh flowers. By warming up your outer world, your inner flame responds to meet it. This increases your energy level, which automatically shifts all outward appearances toward the better. Watch how these simple steps recharge the flame within everyone in your household. This flame cleanses away negativity and brings in the new with vigor and irresistible invitation."

Various Meanings of this Card: You're moving to a new home. You've just moved. A new person is moving in. Someone is moving out. There is increased romance and/or harmony in the home.
