Momentum. Art by Jackson Nathan, from the Etherea Illumination Deck.

#9: MOMENTUM Sign: Sagittarius Gift: Determination Shadow: Inertia

Gift: Determination Such a powerful gift is bestowed upon you once you live from your heart. Just as the inertia of the shadow may seem immeasurable, the momentum of your determination builds with equal force once tapped. It is a well of depth and resource. Suddenly, each action you take is infused with purpose and meaning, because life itself carries great weight, and you see the profound interconnection of every aspect of your life; even the smallest, seemingly insignificant parts of your day serve a function and a larger goal. Nothing is taken for granted. Determination is the powerhouse of the heart.

Shadow: Inertia This shadow appears in your life whenever you get caught up in unnecessary details and forget the bigger picture (or worse, your purpose). It might feel as though you're merely getting through life, versus truly taking hold of it and living with zest. You might live from your mind, which overtakes your being with convoluted messaging and perplexing thoughts concerning the future. This shadow can look like reluctance, or, in other words, the apparent inability to act due to low frequency cycles and patterns (a consequence of victim mentality). Alternatively, it could look like a frenetic restlessness or an overcompensation of energy in a million different directions. You forget to tune in and act with intention in your daily life. To sway from the shadow, regain your concentration on the present moment and what you feel drawn to now; attempting to bring utter clarity to your future vision is actually adding more fog.

Themes: details + determination + momentum + purpose
