DETAILED INTERPRETATION:

1. Friendship: I understand that a friend is in my life for a reason

All humans are created from the same Source, but there are some souls that share a unique kinship. Friendship can be the most exciting and beautiful experience on Earth, but it can also be frustrating and heartbreaking.

Understand that everyone on your path is here to teach you something. It may be for a year or a lifetime. Together you will teach each other various lessons of the heart such as trust,love, loyalty, and admiration.

The bonds of friendship are often stronger than those of family. You have formed a bridge of understanding between the two of you that has stood the test of time and of lifetimes. A true friend will illuminate your path instead of dim it. He or she will give advice with your best interests at heart. To be able to communicate at a soul level with another human being is the biggest treasure of the physical dimension.

Alternative meanings: Be open to new friendships. Accept and learn from friendships that end. Be a friend to someone who needs it.

2. COURAGE: I find the inner strength to face fear with confidence.

You need to remind yourself that part ofthe challenge of being a soul is learning to honour your own power. By listening to your inner voice and following its advice, you are acknowledging the perfection of your intuition.

Fear is only an illusion, and obstacles are great opportunities for you to demonstrate that coming from a place of love will conquer all of fear's disguises.

Perhaps you are changing career paths or entering or exiting a relationship. Perhaps you fear for your health, or the health of those around you? This test has been put before you because it is an opportunity to prove to yourself that you, and only you, can make the correct decision/s. By not taking that step forward, you may find yourself two steps back, only to face that same obstacle again. You've got this! Be courageous and take a step forward!

3. LONELINESS: I know that I am never alone.

This card has come to you because you must be reminded that there is a difference between being lonely and being alone. Feelings of loneliness originate from a sense of not appreciating the most important person in your life: YOU!

If solitude seems like an affliction, you need to work on creating a healthy relationship with yourself. Only then will you attract others who will nurture your soul. If you don't develop a healthy relationship with yourself first, you will only draw unhealthy relationships to you.

To create a healthy, positive relationship with yourself, you must begin to feel worthy of love. The pessimism of this physical dimension can affect your self-esteem if you don't have the strong conviction that you are valuable and meaningful. Don't view solitude as a weakness; it is merely your soul telling you that it is time to do some inner work and re-evaluate your path before you start to shine. As you sit in the silence of your soul, you will realize that God/Spirit, your Spirit family, teachers, and guides are with you. You are never alone.

4. GUILT: I release any beliefs that no longer assist in my soul's growth.

The energy of fear has many guises to complicate your path to loving yourself. Guilt is the most devious, because it is a wolf in sheep's clothing. It is a self-imposed emotion that pretends to be instructive and enlightening.

Guilt can help us grow when we realize that our actions have been hurtful to others and that we need to make amends. After we do so, though, it's time to learn from the behavior and move on. The problem arises when we hold on to a guilty feeling that serves no purpose other than promoting self-destructiveness and low self-esteem.

No one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. Guilt is not always rational, but if you examine it subjectively, act on it, and release it, it becomes a temporary emotion. Long-held guilty feelings are never good and will create a roadblock to self-love and happiness. You must continually scan your current emotions for any guilty feelings and bring them to the surface for analysis. Healthy guilt is a warning that action should be taken; irrational guilt needs to be released.

If you've been feeling guilty of not being or doing enough, ask yourself: If I loved myself completely, would this feeling of guilt still carry the same weight?

Be gentle with yourself, learn, and create a better path forward.

5. ABUNDANCE: I am a limitless being, and I can manifest whatever I desire in this physical reality.

Always remember that you are Spirit, and Spirit is all about creation. God says yes; the ego says no. In order to have abundance in all areas of your life, you must create the space of receiving and know that you are deserving of anything your heart desires. The more you can release limited thinking and worry, the more open you are to receiving the infinite flow of the Universe.

Allow yourself to have fun when manifesting what you want in life, and enjoy the process. By embracing a positive mind-set, you are opening the door to unexpected abundance. It is natural to have abundance in your life, and you must realize that any thoughts of limitations may have come from either a past pattern or a life condition you have chosen to overcome. They could also originate from programming that you received from the environment you grew up in and the value systems you were taught when you were young. Now is the time to begin to live with the realization that you are worthy of having abundance in every aspect of your life. When you are in the vibration of receiving, you can manifest whatever you desire in this physical reality.

As you practice gratitude, you attune your spirit to the energy of receiving!
