17th June 2020...You can find a way

Today's storytelling.
You can find a way.
And a fabulous song from the universal comms team, Enya and "only if "
Taking a look at the lyrics I notice these lines...
If you really want to, you can hear me say
Only if you want to, will you find a way.
If you really want to you can seize the day.

A message for us perhaps on our own ability and intent as to how we now navigate this unusual World.
So on to our first card for today, the 10 of swords ( swords representative of the air element and of thought and intellect)
Number 10 is known as a symbol of the authority of creator/God/universe ( insert own word here) and the government of the Earth from on high.
This number can also symbolise responsibility, law and completeness.
10 is considered to be the symbol of obedience and responsibility of people towards the higher law of the universe.
We see a woman walking a path alone, a flock of birds above her.
The birds signify illumination and empowerment.
They usher in fortune and luck and they represent purity, elegance, opportunity, and victory.
The birds also signify our indomitable spirit and our ability to rise above adversities.
Despite a period of challenges, she is navigating a new path ahead of her. She steps forward tentatively, but she is stepping forward.
Our second card today is 4 The Emperor.
He looks a pretty chilled out dude today. He appears to be guided by a higher power. He waits patiently to play his move, just like in a game of chess, he keeps his strategy to himself, giving nothing away.
He nochenately sits on the planet Mars in our card, almost saying
" there's nothing to see here" ... which suggests perhaps there is in fact something much deeper going on than we can observe on the surface.
I'm drawn to the ram's skull on the wall behind him today.
In many ancient societies the ram skull is said to symbolise initiative, action, leadership and determination.
It brings and energy of dominance and masculinity, power, drive, bravery, and energy.
Our final card today is the 4 of swords.
We see a young woman resting in her nest. Its as though she is nurtured in the womb almost. Safe, secure and recuperating and resting.
A bird's nest is a symbol of the home. It reminds us to strive to make our home a place where family members grow and prosper.
Considered a good luck symbol, the bird's nest represents all the love and warmth, enthusiasm and commitment required in creating the happiest of homes.
Perhaps reminding us that 'home' is not just our own house , it goes beyond that, home is our community, our country and ultimately mother Earth 🏡
It's up to us all to find a way to create the happiest of homes for all of our global family.
If we can just seize the day.
