The ropes around you are loosening. Your liberation is coming.

Five of Cups

Pain has been dealt. Grief has been felt. Sorrow can now begin to melt.

The Moon

What is hidden will come to light. All will once again be clear and bright.

Five of Wands

Conflicts are almost over. Furious minds and hateful hearts will soon feel sober.

The Hanged Man

What is delayed is now in position. Action will soon succeed stagnation.

Four of Cups

A farewell to dullness and apathy. You will soon have a reason to be very happy.

Three of Swords

Forgiveness will be given or received. Your agony will hence be relieved.

The Tower

You survived or avoided a disaster. What awaits now are greener pastures.

Ten of Swords

The worst of it is over. From this moment, it all starts to get better.

Nine of Swords

There are no more reasons to worry. You can stop being scared and weary.

Five of Pentacles

All that you lost and all that you lack are now, at last, on their way back.

Knight of Swords

Sympathy and gentleness will banish cruelty and recklessness.

Eight of Swords

Remove now your blindfold. What was once copper has been turned into gold.

Ten of Wands

The heaviness will lift. You will put down your burdens and set them adrift.

Five of Swords

You are moving on from defeat. Enough of the bitter, and more of the sweet.

Lavandula is a genus of 47 known species of flowering plants in the mint family, Lamiaceae. It is native to the Old World and is found in Cape Verde and the Canary Islands, and from Europe across to northern and eastern Africa, the Mediterranean, southwest Asia to India.

in the spring or early summer gives the plant enough time to possibly produce more flowers for a second cutting. The best time of day to harvest lavender is in the morning, after the dew has dried but before the heat of the sun draws out too much of the fragrant essential oils.

Care:

Lavender is drought-tolerant, which means mature plants don't need to be watered all the time like your other garden plants. Too much water can leave them susceptible to root rot and fungal disease. Young, newly planted lavender does need regular watering until established (either by irrigation or adequate rainfall). The soil should be Light: Lavender needs full sun and well-drained soil to grow best. In hot summer climates, afternoon shade may help them thrive. Soil: Lavender grows best in low to moderately-fertile soils, so don't amend the soil with organic matter before planting. Lavender performs best in neutral to slightly alkaline soils.

Lavender flowers represent purity, silence, devotion, serenity, grace, and calmness.

What to ask tarot

So tarot card questions are actually a lot different than asking a specific question. You wouldn’t say, for example, “Is my dad going to graduate?” because if you got the 3 of cups, you would be utterly confused as to why I did not provide a yes or a no. So below I am going to list questions that are good to ask the cards. 

• I’m at a fork in the road. Which way should I go?

• How do I weigh out the choices I have? What are the Pros and Cons?

• What do I need to know to make the best decision? What do I need to know?

• What do I need to know about a situation with a family member?

• What do I need to know about my love life?

• What do I need to know about my career?

Moving forward

• How do I move forward in my career?

• How do I move forward in my relationship/ love life?

• What is coming forth in my life?

• Which foundation is the strongest to build on in my life?

* What should I do?

• What should/ shouldn’t I do about a situation with my job?

• What should/ shouldn’t I do about a situation with a friend or family member?

• How can I restore my hope for the future?

• What overall positives do I bring to my life?

• What positives do the people in my life provide me?

• Is there meaning in my life?

• Is there love in my life? Hidden Elements

• Are there things I am ignoring that are important?

• What am I not seeing?

• What is holding me back?

• Are there truths that I am denying?

• Are there things that I see that are untrue?

• What important things have I forgotten?

• What could get in my way?

• What is most important for me to get done?

• How will a certain occasion or event turn out?

• What will be the best way for me to communicate with certain people?

• What should I learn from my past?

• What is the impending future telling me?

• What cycles am I stuck in?

• What have a learned from my past?

• Where am I strongest?

• What should I look out for?

I hope this helps!!!!
