For some time now, we have been asked to do a lot of waiting and trusting. We have been told time and again that what we are doing is perfect, that we’re right where we’re meant to be, even though the pace of our progress feels agonizingly slow.

This combination of cards indicates that our slow but steady pace, filled with rumination and planning, is taking a turn toward being met in equal exchange. You might think of it like a return on an investment, but keep in mind that we are met on the same level from which we give. The area we are being directed to work a little more closely with is our ability to receive fully.

When we can recognize the value of what we have to offer the world, and put it out in such a way that we expect an appropriate exchange of energy (be it financial or otherwise), that is precisely the moment we will see this exchange begin to take tangible form in our lives. When this shift in exchange becomes apparent to us, we can feel connected and cared for on a new level. This is when we begin to embody our own unique authenticity, knowing that we will be held by Divine as securely as we hold Divine within us.
