The Great Wall Of China

Take a trip to the moon and gaze into the distance. On the skin of the Earth you’ll find a scar made of bricks laid on one another over centuries.

Like most walls in the history of humankind, the great wall of China was built to fortify an idea as well as a piece of land.

Inside, the us – Outside, the them.

When this card shows up in a reading, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and start building your wall – not as a  tool for segregation, but as an instrument of definition.

Whatever it is that you’re working on – be it a relationship or a work project – it’s time to give it a name, make if official, draw the lines and boundaries that will give it structure. 

Don’t be scared to exert control over a situation that feels too chaotic or undefined: someone needs to stand up as a leader or enforcer and you certainly have what it takes. If the problem at hand doesn’t involve anybody else, maybe the card hints at self-discipline and the need to be more regimented with your life and habits.

This is also the card of possession and property: at this particular moment it might be important to differentiate between what’s yours and what isn’t. As clear cut as it sounds, sometimes putting things in buckets is the best way to get a glimpse of their real shape.

This card ensures success can be achieved by establishing leadership, demanding definition and turning blurred lines into explicit rules.
