General:

This card is asking you to begin to start doing more and dreaming less. This will require making decisions. The problem is that if you aren’t putting effort into aligning with Spirit or working towards your purpose in life you will be far more easily lead astray by every shiny object. Taking time to figure out what will nourish you at a deeper level is what this card is all about. You may need to let some things go for now, so that you can invest energy into the things that will actually sustain you.
