Woot! 10 Downing Street and HM Treasury are following me on Twitter. No surprise - they follow everyone who follows them. I see Jacqui Smith and her cronies are still doing their job properly fulfilling their promises to monitor Twitter, at least.
Today's card is from the Susie Green "Animal Messages - Seek Inspiration From Your Animal Guides" cards. Animal cards can be quite dull to read from as they require you to do a bit of thinking about what the animal means to you in each position, but they are handy at least for giving advice rather than telling fortunes, and of course with oracle cards advice usually becomes fortune if it is not followed.
Lion.
Banish loneliness by reaching out to special friends.
Tawny monarch of the Savannah, LION does not waste her days in needless physical exertion but conserves energy by sleeping, resting and companionably lounging. Working long, exhausting hours for the money to purchase prestige goods leaves little time for the pleasures of friendship. Loneliness is spirit-diminishing - designer clothes make poor companions. Lion has padded in to your cards to remind you how vital friends and neighbours really are. Reach out to those around you and be open to others.
Confrontation is averted as those with the power and authority to do so are forced to seek compromise in order to stabilise themselves and balance their needs with the needs of the greater good. Lion counsels not that greatness is achieved through the exertion of power and authority, but that it is achieved by being holistic, solid and grounded about the issue, and arbitrating the situation before it gets out of control. Compromise is necessary here to avoid what was foretold in the Two of Swords yesterday, so this is a definite attempt to seek it as well as advice that it is more necessary than ever.
