Arrow

Like the many arrows on this card, your thoughts are flying off in every direction and you are thoroughly confused. Yet you are under pressure to put things in order and make a plan. The only way you will make your dreams real is to untangle these thoughts enough to work out what they actually mean.

It is time to become like the single arrow at the center of the card, flying straight at its target. You get there by taking a moment to decide what you want, planning how you will do it, laying out a schedule to follow, and then concentrating.

You will find you grow stronger and stand more firmly on your own two feet once you are heading straight for your goal. Focus on the positive and you will reach it. This is the road to happiness and to blessings for the world around you, and in the end for yourself too.

Verse
My mind is an arrow loosed into the blue,
sharp and unwavering, flying straight and true.
It strikes its mark and sets my dreaming free.
My soul is fed at last, and fearlessly.

Other meanings
Set your priorities. Make a list of what matters in your life. Step back from anything standing between you and your main goal. Be honest and be clear. Clear your mind by thinking positively. Meditate.

About the arrow
Arrows have been used in divination since the time of the Chaldeans. The king of Babylon would halt at a fork in the road and wait for an omen by loosing arrows with messages engraved on them. The arrow that flew furthest carried the answer. Native American tradition holds that you should speak like an arrow: direct, and aimed.
