Crane

-3.  Crane

The Crane card represents perseverance, strength, grit, and hard work. It signifies the breakthrough that we experience when, against all odds, through sheer determination, we arrive at the impossible. Through sustained hard work and persistence we achieve the unachievable. In the circle at the bottom right of the card, we see a crane. The crane is the bird that soars to great heights in thin air to sit at its perch at the top of the mountain. When the Crane appears, this charming card assures you that your efforts are not in vain. Whatever your dreams, you can be sure that in the end, all your hard work will pay off. Your continued dedication serves you well.

If this card was pulled with the intent to provide advice:

You will soar to greater heights than you ever thought possible. Dig deep, reach high, and go beyond the limits you have placed upon yourself. It is not guaranteed to be easy; it is guaranteed to build a more expansive version of you.
