EMPOWERMENT: Within the realm of the Kitsune are beautiful ponds, still and tranquil, yet within them teems magical life. Amongst the beings 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 the 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 your 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.

FOLLOW THE SIGNS: This Kitsune girl is creating magical signs out of her holy Foxfire – signs, omens, messages for you to follow while you walk your path. She wishes for you to have guidance, and her purpose is to create this fire, and when you see this card, you know that the messages and the signs coming to you are to be trusted and are worth following. There is a sense of union, friendship, and trustworthy allies when this card comes, and she acknowledges that you are following the right path, and that your trust in the signs that have been coming to you is not misplaced.
This sense of following something subtle, strange, and not quite knowable is a tentative path and a mysterious one, and many have said you are fools for letting such things be your advisors. But this card says that you can grow in confidence and know that the warmth and the light of the sacred fire of the Kitsune is part of the gift that the Universe is sending to you. You have found her – she is saying yes, and now it is for you to tune in, connect, and keep your inner guidance strong and healthy. There is a purity to this process, and a passionate energy – go where the fire of the Kitsune leads you, for it is growing in power and your intuitive understanding is becoming deeper, clearer, and more and more luminous with every step.

THE GOLDEN MOMENT: The Golden Moment occurs when, in one sublime convergence, all that has troubled you or caused hardship falls away, and the rewards of all that you have done simply are available to you, in a lovely time of wellbeing, good fortune, and joy. This is a very happy card, one in which we are filled with the light of possibilities, yet we are no longer under the strain of effort and the pressure of former days. The golden moment is to be felt and experienced, as it cannot be created or forced – it is akin to the energy of a holiday with friends, when there is true delight, a lack of complications, and an effortless ease. There is companionship that is soulful, emotional interactions that are true and without conflict and defense, and a sense of community and family around you. The whole world seems to be conspiring to make you happy, happy because you have an inner contentment, a sense of belonging in your own skin, and the people who you love, love you in return. There is a sense of flowering, growth, and coming to a kind of ripeness at this time.
Enjoy the golden moment, for it is sometimes fleeting, so allow it to replenish you, nurture you, give you back a true sense of all that is possible in life, and sustain you through the days of change that lie ahead. While there will be other challenges to face in the future, for now, you are held, supported, loved, and cherished by the Universe in ways that are immediately tangible. There is a sense of being rewarded for your own personal noble deeds, which many people may have overlooked, but the Universe has seen, and acknowledged. Your emotional support of others in the past is now returning to you with a universal energy that is supportive, loving, and truly appreciative of the beautiful human you are becoming.
