Nine of Wands & Eight of Cups…

You have stood as a fierce guardian at the gates of your sacred realm, shielding the wonder you’ve nurtured with unwavering strength. Your efforts have not been in vain—for within your care, something luminous has blossomed, yearning to flourish. Yet, in your valiant defense, you’ve turned from the quiet whispers of your own heart, where shadowy fears still dwell in silence.

Now, the universe beckons you to release what no longer sings in harmony with your soul. But remember—what you’ve grown is rare, enchanted, and it calls for your full dedication in return. Let your emotions flow like moonlight into your actions; there lies your true magic. When you dare to look within, not with fear but with wonder, you will see only stardust and spellwork. You will remember what has always been true: you are, and have always been, a unicorn. Sweet dreams, magical creatures!

“The unicorn is a lonely creature... it lives in a world that is not made for it.”— Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn
