- Pearls are made by both marine oysters and freshwater mussels as a defense against parasites and irritants. The oyster slowly secretes layers of aragonite (calcium carbonate) and conchiolin to encase the irritant.
- Nacre (mother of pearl) can also form inside a shell as a form of protection. It’s strong, resilient and iridescent. It forms in other shells, like abalone, which is commonly used as a tool in smudging, due to its grounding and protective qualities.
- Like the oyster, you may have a gift or attribute that is hidden, dormant or under-appreciated by others.
- Release The Hermit energy and reveal your inner Star.
- Avoid being overly protective of yourself (4 of Pentacles) or overly focused on others (Strength or Empress Reversed).
- Embrace The Fool and start something new.
- Give yourself and others ample breathing space. Take time away (Six of Swords) and get perspective on the situation-at-hand.
- Oysters can filter 1.3 gallons (4.9 liters) of water per hour. Like oysters, you’re sensitive to your environment. Avoid people, situations and habits that are irritating or toxic to you.
- You’re a natural healer, but you don’t have to fix everything for everyone all the time.
- Like the Six of Pentacles, it’s vital to decide what is the best use of your skills, time and passion.
- Let others come to you. Empower and encourage them to make their own choices and exercise their own free will.
- I saw a calendar with a big event circled in the distant future (about 1.5 years from the present)—it felt like either graduation or a wedding.
- Although you may wish to “fast-forward” to some arbitrary date in the future, make time to enjoy the present.
- Just like a senior who rushes through their final year of high school, it’s over before you know it.
- Like the Oyster, drink it all in. Fully integrate and appreciate this moment in time.
- Jonathan Larson once said, “Forget regret or life is yours to miss.” There’s wisdom in these words. We can’t change the past, but we can break patterns and shape the future, right here, right now.
- Learn from the past, don’t let it consume you.
- I was shown a car speeding on a racetrack, along with glass breaking. This symbol cuts both ways. First, it’s a warning to avoid rushing through a task or project; carelessness will catch up with you.
- It’s also an auspicious symbol that a breakthrough is on the horizon. You can surprise yourself and others if you allow yourself to dream.
