Sample Interpretation
Imagine you draw the following cards:

Moving towards hope and inspiration (The Star) will align you with your life's purpose. Current introspection (The Hermit) is a crucial step, despite any external challenges (Five of Wands), and maintaining balance (Temperance) will help you navigate this journey.
Grounding Practice
After completing your reading, take a few moments to ground yourself. Sit quietly and breathe deeply, envisioning roots extending from your feet into the Earth. This practice helps to center your energy, allowing the insights from your reading to integrate into your consciousness. Regular grounding can also enhance your ability to follow your true path with clarity and confidence.
