Oracle Card 5: Purpose

The main subjects attached to this card are advice, spirituality, religion and support. It is a time to find where you truly belong in life; what your true vocation or pathway is. Sometimes to do this we need to seek the advice of experts and sometimes we just need to give ourselves enough time and space to discover our own realisations and truth.

Who are you? Why are you here, on this earth, right now? Do you have a specific purpose and are you living it? There are not always direct answers to these questions because we are all unique and we each have a different path to tread. Each of us must learn to find his or her own way and to resist criticising or judging others because their way is different to our own.

Religion is one example. If a person finds strength and solace in a particular religion, who are we to criticise because we have a different one. If we look deeply enough we will find that every religion follows the same basic belief and morals. Underneath all the pretence and striving and power struggles, we are all beings of light and love, simply living in the best way we know how, searching for truth and our place in this world. Try to look below the surface in others - be determined to find, see and respond to truth. It is the only way to connect in any type of relationship that will hold meaning and lasting fulfilment.

When you are truly accepting of every human being (including yourself) you will then have the qualities to become one of life's teachers, leaders and guides.

SELF AND SELF DEVELOPMENT
Be open-minded. Look to a variety of beliefs and religions and be prepared to discuss differing opinions with others. Compile all the ideas you have heard and explored and you will begin to find your own answers. If it feels good and 'sits' right with you, it IS right.
HOME AND FAMILY
It is good for children to be given certain religious values when young; to learn morals and dignity and well a belief in themselves and their place in society. Try to be flexible in your attitudes in this regard.
LOVE EMOTIONS AND ROMANCE
Sometimes we get so 'bogged down' within our personal relationships that we forget there is a big wide world out there. Look at wider perspectives and new options. If nothing else it will allow you room to breathe again and raise your head above mundane matters.
MONEY AND POSSESSIONS
Comfort in the home is very important. A peaceful haven to come home to and to invite friends into can make a world of difference to your state of mind and stress levels. It can also help you to leave the pressures of the day behind and appreciate the good and simple things you have in your life.
WORK, HOBBIES AND CAREER
Your wisdom, combined with a deep desire to help others can find fulfilment in an advisory capacity. Be prepared to take any courses necessary to further this in your life, even if you only introduce this ability part time - it will enhance you in wonderful ways.
HEALTH
Keeping calm and getting plenty of sleep seems to be important just now. Try to plan ahead to avoid stressful situations and allow yourself the time and space - and peace - that you need.
FRIENDS AND SOCIAL LIFE
Comfort and true friendship can be found now. Open up to others, share your deepest feelings - dare to risk total honesty. Reach out your hand with sincerity and watch how many hands reach back.
