HARMONY—Past

You deserve to feel good about your existence.

The card is symbolic of what will bring you happiness in your life. Reflect on your personal values and attitudes. “What do you believe will bring you the outcomes you are longing for in order to have a complete and happy life?” The color orange can refer to a period of socializing, activity and new adventures. It is related to the sacral chakra and symbolizes happiness and love. The things we store in this domain are our feelings, emotions, pleasure, sensuality, intimacy and connection. When this chakra is clear and energy balanced, you are friendly, compassionate and empathetic. A strong sense of belonging and feeling good about your life through alignment.

JOY—Present

Joy is the state of the heart and soul

The union between the heart and soul is to achieve expansion for a greater good. “Even when your life is in flux, you feel a deep knowing that whatever might happen will be for the highest good for all involved.” This brings forth spiritual determination. You will ultimately find happiness even through difficult circumstances, such as those you are currently undergoing.

The current stress and exhaustion are acknowledged. As you work to adapt to new patterns of behavior and release your old stories you make room for joy. Happiness might not be ever-present right now, but striving through difficult situations are important.

Be honest with yourself; allow yourself your feelings and emotions. You are urged to realize that you came into this lifetime to undergo certain experiences to learn very specific life lessons. If your heart is feeling wounded, you may be struggling with deep feelings and sentiments that may have even been repressed in you (for lifetimes).

My PATTERN reveals that I am meant to go through a series of wounding and healing to become a source of guidance and support.

BE CANDID—Future

It is essential to express your truth even at the risk of standing out.

Express your thoughts! In the past you have stayed quiet to maintain peace. You’ve swallowed your words. “Have faith that open and honest communication can bring resolution to the situation.” This card is about communication. If you are not sure where you stand; ask. Let emotions and dialogue flow without blocking them because of concern. The goal is also to have enough self control to not come off as uncaring and rough.

Teal represents the throat chakra and speaking and listening. You are a good listener and can diminish the chances of miscommunication and misunderstanding. You are able to express yourself as a spiritual being, speaking honestly and from the heart. You are able to ask for what you want and need from others.

Your relationships are based on truthful communication and true intimacy. This card invites you to create emotional balance and stability in your life.
