Extend insight with a new reading

Last week I helped you create a reading for an immediate answer to a life question.  This post continues that reading using the other side of the card. If you are visiting the Oracle for the first time, enjoy doing the reading described in the post of May 20 before continuing.

 Here is the question side of your card.  Its orientation has come up the way it needs to. Before you work with this new image, think again about your situation and the insights you have already received.  Did another question occur to you at the completion of your first reading? Perhaps you wanted to know how to solve the problem, or shift your perspective, or maybe what action to take next?  Ask this second question now.

 Now read the card question—and look deeply into the card image.  This image shows you how to understand this question. Describe what you see in the card image using simple language.  Describe images, colors, shapes, and also what you feel and associate with them.  See the answer to your question in this description, and apply this to your situation.  

 Remember that one or more of the following themes are a major influence in this situation: hope, light, perspective, time.  How does the answer to your question deepen when you put your situation into the container made by these themes?  And what does the container itself look like in the story of your life right now?
