Express yourself and allow your spirit to feel free. Be aware of the confines and restrictions placed upon you by yourself and others.
This mermaid says it’s fun to feel free! This doesn’t mean shirking your responsibilities, though. It’s important and possible to find a balance between fulfilling your wild and free spirit while honoring your responsibilities, especially when others are involved or are relying on you.
Being a free spirit might kindle romantic thoughts of a nomadic lifestyle. Although this might not be practical for you, it’s still worth considering ways you can express this desire – for example, by taking a backpacking holiday or similar.
Do you feel free? Your work of home life might bring feelings of restriction. If this is true, take a look at how you can change things. Talking with loved ones about how you’re feeling can be helpful. You could find they offer to help with the chores and your domestic responsibilities, freeing up some time for you to do the things that make your heart and soul sing.
Honor your free spirit for this is who you really are. The material confines of modern society can make our spirit feel stifled. We’re pushed through the education system from a young age, then we’re expected to choose a career path and work a nine-to-five job. But there’s no one-size-fits-all path. Often, we’re not encouraged to express our artistic side, which can make us feel even more trapped by the confines of society.
Now is the time to allow your spirit the freedom it needs. When you’re in a harmonious relationship with your inner spiritual needs, everything will naturally fall into place in a harmonious way for the highest good of all.

This is the moment to trust your inner knowing. The stage of doubting is over, and it’s time to believe in yourself.
This mermaid has the look of inner knowing, and she’s swimming into your reading today to affirm that you have access to this inner knowing, too. It’s about believing in yourself and trusting your intuition, which is a powerful tool in life. When you believe in this inner knowing you’ll see stagnant areas of your life begin to flow again, as you trust your ability to ‘know’ things.
Are you always doubting your intuition? Perhaps you’re in denial about something that deep down you ‘know’ to be true? Allow yourself the freedom to trust this innate instinct, also known as your ‘gut feeling’.
Acting on your inner knowing is the correct course of action. Sometimes it might not make sense on a rational level, yet deep inside, at the core of your being, you ‘know’ that you’re correct. This isn’t arrogance, it’s having confidence in your ability to trust in yourself.
When this card appears in a reading, it means that you already ‘know’ what to do. Perhaps you feel fear or trepidation to act on this instinct? The more you learn to trust this aspect of yourself, the easier following your inner guidance will become.
There could be someone around you who is trying to convince you to doubt your own instincts. If this is the case, always remember to ‘tune in’ before following the advice of anyone else. What’s right for one person, may not be right for another. Different strokes for different folks!

It’s time to make an important decision. Consider your choices carefully, then act. You might be pleasantly surprised by the outcome.
Pondering her options, this mermaid knows she can swim in any direction and the choice is ultimately hers. She knows her decision could affect others, so she spends some time thinking carefully about everything before she fully commits to a positive course of action.
It’s easy to procrastinate when it comes to making important decisions in life. We never really know how destiny will manifest as a result of our choices. If you’re finding it difficult to come to an important decision, it might be wise to consult a trusted friend who has your best interests at heart. Speaking with a counselor might shed some light on the matter for you also.
This card might also be telling you that someone you know is having to make a difficult decision and they may require your wisdom and advice. If this is the case, ask the person to list all the pros and cons of their options, then work through the decision-making process together in a methodical way. Try to keep any strong emotions at bay during this time, as it will help them (or you) to see things more clearly.
Any decision you make can have a very happy outcome, so stay positive and look on the bright side. Trust in your destiny, all is well.
