Today's Card
0 ~ the Seeker (Reversed)

(The Fool)
A New Beginning

 
leaves

The Seeker begins a journey, taking a moment to contemplate the road ahead before setting off down the hillside. Perhaps she is murmuring a prayer or setting an intention. She travels lightly, carrying all she needs in her bundle. She has embroidered a butterfly on the back of her vest, signifying her delight in taking wing and setting out on her own path.

A great mountain rises in the east, and the river slowly meanders on its own journey from the mountain range down to the bay and the ocean beyond.

The Seeker is at that stage of life between childhood and adulthood when anything is possible; her life lies before her like a page waiting to be written. With Fox as her trickster companion, who knows what surprises may await her? Swallows and swallowtails flit and flutter around her, guiding her way.

When you get this card in a reading . . .

You are starting a new journey, with a beginner’s mind. It’s time to hit the road, either metaphorically or literally. Every time you set out on a journey, whether it’s a one-day hike or a new career, you embark on a spiritual journey as well. Be open to all the twists and curves in the road ahead. Be ready for wonderful surprises. Keep your heart open and maintain an attitude of innocence, trust and spontaneity. Remember that many innovators, creators, and explorers were considered foolish by the conventional wisdom of their time. Dare to take a risk! Before you is a brand new adventure β€” the chance for a fresh start and endless possibilities.

When you read the Shadow side of this card . . .

You may be longing to hit the road, escape, or seek more adventure in your life, but you are afraid to do it. Maybe responsibilities are holding you back and it seems like the wrong time to take a risk. Do you fear you have too much to lose? On the other hand, you may too nonchalant, like a vagabond or an eternal child who refuses to grow up. It may be time to be more serious and settled. Be careful of a tendency to be naive or gullible. Are you being wise or foolish about your current situation?
