The 6♥️ 7♥️ 8♥️ 9♥️ and 10♥️ work together. Perhaps lay them out in a circle as they are all part of a cycle.

As we hold the 8♥️, we see that we are starting to emerge out of the darkness. There are more glimmers of light which can help us find our way. Now is the time to start stretching and reaching.

Change often feels uncomfortable even when overall it might be positive. We are creatures of habit and quickly adapt to situations including ones that are limiting. We might have become comfortable tucked away out of sight, allowing wintering and composting to happen. And like our dormouse in the image, we may feel small and a little vulnerable as we rouse.

This is a time when the sap is rising and growth is starting, There is more light and more activity. We are starting to look outwards, perhaps with new eyes after the darkness we have been through. This is another threshold, so we need to pause and gather. Use The Cards at times of transition and change. They are here as gentle reminders. Which ones will you choose? You might pick 9♠️ if you need encouragement to push out of your comfort zone, or the Q♦️.

We might feel tempted to retreat back into our cave of darkness because we have got used to it and waking up and starting to move again can be difficult. But this is the journey so don't get stuck or lost. When we are coming out of wintering times, be like the buds on the trees or a plants re-emerging from the ground. Sense, explore and expand. This is life. We can all play our part in creation.
