Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree
— Emily Bronte

The 6♥️ 7♥️ 8♥️ 9♥️ and 10♥️ work together. Perhaps lay them out in a circle as they are all part of a cycle. These cards take us through the seasons. They might represent the actual season or the chapters we are progressing through as we age or perhaps the changes in our mood as things change around us and we experience the ups and downs on the journey of life.

Things feel clearer when we know where we are and so we can prepare ourselves. So just like knowing what the weather is like today, it can also be helpful to look a little further ahead too. 6♥️ is the autumn or fall card. What does the image say to you? Where are the birds going and how are they flying? How do they provide pockets of wind resistance for each other, taking their turns at the front then dropping back.

How does our squirrel sense the need to find and store nourishment away for the more difficult times ahead? Like the squirrel, we know when we are in 'autumn', when we sense a shift. There's a chill in the air, change and more challenging times lie ahead. We need to prepare ourselves for darker and colder times. This is the time to find support and to create a safe refuge. This is also a time to let go of things. This may be with sadness or with gladness. We may be ready for the change.

Use your cards, make a soothing toolbox, and know this is all part of the cycle and the circles.

‘What might help you to prepare if you sense a shift into more challenging or turbulent times? What will be your 'portable paradise'?’
