The 5♦️ is a twin card for the Q♠️ .
Q♠️ encourages us to make compassionate connections to things outside of ourselves, to plants, to pets, to people, to places and to the planet.
5♦️ invites us to take our compassion inwards, to use our imagination and connect kindly to ourselves. We might use the experiences we have had or wish to have had in the outer world to do this.
Use the image of the dolphins on the card to help here. Hold yourself in a kind inner community. Take your Shadow card with you too. Are there places that are hurting? Where are the wounds? How can you care for these parts?
Your shadow needs your kindness and if ignored, can become needy and at risk of mischief. Perhaps see if you can find and read the poem, A Portable Paradise by Roger Robinson. This speaks so beautifully and makes the 5♦️ shine in the darkness.
