Balance & Death (Reversed)…

When I pulled this two cards this morning, I was struck by their yin and yang energy. Though there are two very opposing powerful energies represented, they seem to complement each other in striking ways. It almost feels as if Death is chasing Balance - that they are encircling each other is a sort of entrancing dance. But, when you think of it, transition is constantly chasing us, as we try to maintain a sense of equilibrium we can suddenly find ourself knocked off-course by life-altering surprises. Then we must fight again to find our balance and restore a sense of calm, until the next wave of change hits us in the face. Today, perhaps we encountered a bit of both - easy, even moments and jarring sudden scares. But, as you think back on all the challenges you have moved through and all the moments of peaceful bliss you have been gifted with, doesn’t it all feel right? Like, without one, could you possibly even come close to experiencing the other? Highs and lows are necessary - so let them spin around you and within you. Happy Tuesday!

“Yin and Yang. / (jɪn) / noun. two complementary principles of Chinese philosophy: Yin is negative, and dark, Yang is positive and bright. Their interaction is thought to maintain the harmony of the universe and to influence everything within it.” - Definition found online
