Spring, when you notice a 'beginning' that hasn't taken shape yet

Hello. This is Karin🍊

Before you know it, it's already April.
Congratulations to all the new employees and students🌸

The beginning of a new season.
Even though some people are in changing environments while others are in the same daily routine as before,
there is a sense that everything is 'starting to move' somewhere.

When you touch that atmosphere,
don't you sometimes have a moment where you want to move forward just a little bit?

In a fleeting moment,

you might want to start something new,
or you might want to test your own potential.

But at the same time,

you might think it's better to wait until you're properly prepared,
or maybe you should wait until you have a little more confidence.

In that way, there are times when you might pause for a moment, aren't there?

In Tarot, there is a card called
Ace of Wands.

This card symbolizes
the 'fire of beginnings,' 'impulses,' and
possibilities that have not yet taken shape.

It is an image of something like a small spark
suddenly lighting up.

'I think I'd like to try this'
'I'm kind of curious about this'

It appears as a very modest trigger like that.

I think spring is truly close to this kind of energy.

Rather than a timing to start something perfectly,

it's more like, before you knew it, you were already in the flow,
so to speak.

We tend to,

After preparing properly.
After gaining confidence.
After getting everything ready so you don't fail.

You try to wait for the right timing like that, don't you?

But the Ace of Wands is the opposite,

That is what the card says.

In fact, it says,
it is precisely because you aren't ready that the 'heat of the beginning' is there.
—that is what it says.

For example,

Even with a step as small as that,
hasn't there been a time when the flow suddenly started to move?

It is strange, but

before a change occurs,

it is rarely something that happens all of a sudden; it often starts from
a 'small spark' like this.

And that is something

you only realize was the beginning when you look back on it later.

So, if right now,

there is something that is on your mind,

or something you are slightly drawn to, even if you don't quite know why,

it may already be

a sign that a small flame is beginning to light up within you.

Spring is,

rather than a season to 'complete' something,

A season where things start to flow.

It doesn't have to be perfect, and
it's okay not to be certain.

Instead,

don't overlook those little 'I want to try this' moments.

If right now,

you have a feeling of 'I want to start something'.

The air of spring and
the flow within you

might be starting to overlap little by little.

That small 'I'm curious about this' is
already a sign of a beginning.

It doesn't have to be a big step.

Just try choosing not to let the small spark that has started to move within you go out🫶
