Lotus
-8. Lotus
The image in this card depicts a vibrant red and yellow lotus springing from the base of the castle. It signifies the depth and beauty that come from finding peace from within. The Lotus card is the charming aspect of solitude, the quiet contemplation of a babbling brook or a walk in nature that brings self-introspection and self-exploration. Lotus reminds us that within one’s self, we find good company. If the Lotus card has visited you today, you are entering a time of quiet meditation. You have the ability to listen to your own inner voice and discover the soft beating of your own heart. Are you listening? What does your inner guidance have to say?
