Mystic Goddess Sigils Tarot – In the center of this card we see a maze, and what appears to me to be the roots of a plant just starting out. This card speaks of the need to develop roots first before growth can begin. It shows the roots at their start, and encourages them to grow to create a stable foundation before continuing on to navigating the maze that is its obstacle to freedom. This card asks us what preparations do we need to put in place in order to create a stable foundation for where we want to end up? The foundation will always be the first step. It warns that sometimes beginnings take time, and thus patience is needed in order for opportunities to grow into fruition.

Star Trek Tarot – This card speaks of a continuous curiosity for new knowledge and an urge to advance one’s skills and abilities. It says that no matter one’s age, that curiosity is what creates spice in life, and growth of one’s skills and abilities keeps one fresh and agile, creating strength that can be built on. It encourages not being discouraged when growth takes time. Opportunities for growth are always present, even at times when we don’t always recognize them. The message here is a reminder to be open to those opportunities and eager to explore them, even when you’re feeling jaded or tired.

Serenity Tarot – The figure in this card reflects the traditional imagery in the Rider Waite tradition of tarot. The coil is cherished and admired, valued and the entire focus of the figure in the center of the card. At her feet, growth flourishes. This card speaks of valuing the themes of the pentacles suit.  Home, health, skills, financial stability.  This card says that when you value these traits and themes, growth will come.  Slow and steady, perhaps, but it will come.

Cosmic Seeker Tarot – I struggle with the princess (page) in this card, as there is stagnancy here rather than growth or slow movement. It is as if she holds the coin in her lap, but her mind is elsewhere.  She’s not even touching it.  To me, the imagery in this card speaks of neglecting these important themes that the coin represents.  Are you ignoring your health and changes that need to be made? Are you choosing to not deal with financial obligations? Are you avoiding doing the things that will create a stable foundation for your goals?  This card asks these questions and encourages looking closely within oneself for the answers.
