” . . .and the wheels of the bus go ’round and ’round.” For all we plot, do, and hide from, the whole of everything keeps moving along with us along for the ride, and when we are gone, it just keeps going. Such is the way . . .

Part of being human is to personalize our experiences here, to see the world around us as we exist in, rather than a whole of which we are a part (an important one), and that means that we all too often take things very personally.

​It’s really hard to overstate the “face value” if it is facing up; it really is a very good card. Things go your way, plans come together. In essence, you are swimming downstream in the great flow of the universe (the current pushes you along, so you end up going faster and further with less effort). Some authorities like to compare this card to the notion of one’s karma; but really, what is karma without dharma anyway? You can’t earn any karma unless you have some personal dharma to start with. In non-gibberish terms: You are you. Be you. Don’t run around trying to be something you are not.

Yes, yes, yes!! Develop yourself! But do so along your lines of purpose and innate strengths and deepest desires. The trivialities of “popularity” and “success” will come to those who are so true to themselves that they create real (and often unique) values to society. “Play to your strengths” and you will do well. This card shows us that everything has cycles, and that the only thing we truly own are our character traits. When we prepare for life’s “ups and downs” by developing our own individual strengths and qualities, our passions, and our inner resources, we will find others who support us both when we are “up” and when we are “down” instead of simply on the day we are popular.
