My Soul Card indicates my soul purpose and qualities that will assist me. Meditation "I will persevere with great courage toward the loving reconciliation of my lower and higher selves."

My Destiny Card: The Two of Cups The Destiny Card is a minor Arcana card indicating the fundamental desires, impulses, and reactions of myself as an individual. Meditation "I will love others as I love myself."
