Compass

Without Direction

With no single path clearly laid out,

I may now question what my life’s about.

But instead, I will sit patiently here,

Knowing that, at last, my destiny draws near.

The mystical journey is long and true,

I’ll be courageous and wander through.

Wanderer’s Wisdom

You are confused about which direction you should take and which path to follow. There may be many choices ahead, but you aren’t sure what option is the right course of action for your future and soul. You are presently pathless. It appears there is not an avenue carved perfectly for your wants and desires. This card is acknowledging your position. It is telling you that it’s perfectly okay not to know where you are headed. Right now, stillness is the best answer. You may even feel like you aren’t “complete” because you don’t know your exact direction. This card is here to tell you it’s better to be patient and let the universe guide you instead of striving to force a path that isn’t right for you. Do not fret my child. Your path will come storming to your door, ready for you to harness its ferocity and power. You will know! For now, just sit, rest and take in the view.

Take Action

You are walking the road less travelled, and it will take time for the path to reveal itself to you. It is best to pause before moving forward. Someone may be trying to push or pull you in a direction that is not meant for you. Be sure the footpath you are walking is made for you.

Compass Revealed

For any mystic wanderer, the compass is a symbol for guidance, pointing you in the right direction. The Latin root behind the world itself is derived from “corn,” meaning “together,” and “passus” meaning “way.” The compass can, therefore, be a physical tool for direction and a moral one; when we are balanced, uniting both our experiences and knowledge, then we will find the way.
