Symbol 7:
This card is asking you to be still for a moment and take a bird’s eye view of your life.
Where is an excess of energy being spent? And how is that affecting your life?
Does too much work, not enough play result in a resentful attitude?
Are you concerned about how a family member or close friend is acting out or becoming consumed with something, causing strain in the relationship? Take the bird's eye view to see if you yourself have been acting out or becoming too consumed with something.
Imagine a big set of scales. Place the situation on the scales.
What do you feel needs to be placed on the other side of the scales to bring balance?
If this card appears in a reading it is asking you to have a look and see if you have been so fully absorbed in something that you haven’t noticed maybe it is you throwing things out of balance. Feels harsh, yes it's an extreme card and you may need to be extremely courageous to make the changes once you become aware of what needs to be done.
Hopefully this card comes as a timely warning so you can rectify an imbalance before it causes suffering.
If, however you have been through a process of rectification, then this card is celebrating and telling you that you have found balance in your life and to honour the lessons you learnt in the transformation. In this case you will have a sense of Peace when gazing into this symbol.
