The Birds
Meaning, light and shadow
Meaning
The Birds symbolize conversations, news and short, often fleeting events. They point to nervousness or restlessness, but can also announce an important exchange or exciting news.
The energy of the card
The Birds are chattering. Traditionally they stand for conversations, phone calls and the hum of thoughts. When they appear in your reading, there is a lot of exchange around you – and perhaps in your head, too.
Your path with this card
Among all the voices, you find your own. The Birds invite you to grow still for a moment and listen.
- Who would you really like to talk to right now?
- Which thought keeps circling inside you, wanting to be spoken?
In the shadow
Nervousness, distraction, haste. The Birds remind you to take a deep breath and bring calm into your thoughts.
