EMPOWERMENT: Within the Realm of the Kitsune are beautiful ponds, still and tranquil, yet within them teems magical life. Amongst the being who dwell there are the koi mermaids, who come to you now with their message of empowerment. You are becoming stronger, calmer, more staunch and clear in your purpose and message and there is a direction you are now setting that will be reached. The koi mermaids help the koi to persevere, to meet their challenges with perseverance and courage and a sense that every moment of dedication and learning will bring about the desired result.
This is the card of the person who is moving towards a goal, and even encountering setbacks, and so the koi mermaid comes to you to ask you to continue, to cheer you on, and to acknowledge that the heroic journey you are undertaking is indeed worthwhile. While you are so focused on this task or goal, others around you see your work, and are inspired in their own personal quest. You are beautiful in your tenacity, and every step of the way sees you grow. It may feel at times as though the flow of the stream is against you, but this is not time to go with the flow – it is time to make your own way through the waters of life, even if others seem to be heading in a different direction. It is not time for the easy path – you will carve you own way through the waters, for you are on your way to great good fortune, prosperous times and an enriched sense of what you are capable of.

Doing this will enhance your memory and your vitality, and cultivate a sense of being here for a purpose. What you can do is to keep the sense of knowledge very simple and be very kind, and to see that many people are not ready to embrace the simplicity and beauty.

This change will help you to be straightforward and clear about who you are, and this process will see you beginning to reveal more and more of who you are, and as you grow older, you will become an inspiration to others. This will be because your vitality and your clear and simple wisdom will be a kind of beacon to others. You will be a person whom others feel is heartfelt and warm, calm and tranquil, yet highly impactful on the life of others, simply through your focus and your wisdom. All of the simple things, when this card comes, are the way through to higher wisdom.
