The 6♣️ is here to help when things are difficult.
If the 5♣️ is a reminder of the harmony when we work well in groups, the 6♣️ encourages us to develop attributes which will help us when we lose our rhythm, when our balance is upset.
Courage, Curiosity, Change and Conflict are all bound together and represented by the nest of eggs. Conflict is the cuckoo's egg that might upset the balance. We are in a world where wars are raging.
How do we manage the little wars that threaten to break out in our groups, our families or in our workplaces?
Is there a creative way to manage being together rather than being taken over by our destructive and shadow sides. Take out your Jokers. We need lots of skills when the jokers are in play. In our ‘throw away’ world what can we learn from regular tending and mending? Which cards will help you here?
