Stretch and Expand

(Picture credit: Cosmic Dancer Oracle Card)

After organizing the board, I felt myself sprawling - mentally and emotionally. I told myself to give up the idea of reaching higher, and instead to settle quietly into my current reality: My home, my needed role, my familiar environment.

But deep, deep within, the message was different, as evidenced by the card I drew today: Stretch and Expand.

It was drawn by focusing on the energy of my cat, Ganesha, who I regard as a muse to my life. Her energy whispers to me: Growth is not about abandoning what already exists - it's about opening wider, reaching further, trusting that my path can hold both stability and expansion.

My home can be my root, but not my cage. My role can be important, but not my ceiling.

This is the season to stretch into possibility, to expand to what I cannot yet see, and to trust that the Universe places me exactly where my next step belongs.
