Card: Only You Can Bring Forth This Vision

Landscape: Self/Immediate Environment

Title of Painting: Hera

Interpretation: As with gestational birth, you have been carrying a vision inside of you. You can feel it growing and moving within you as the months wear on and you prepare to deliver. The beauty of birth is that while there are many support people involved — midwives, partners, doulas and the like — only the person with child can deliver the baby into the world. Your vision is completely unique to you. Just as your offspring would carry forth your DNA, so do your ideas. Trust in the beauty of your dream and know that the time is coming when you’ll have to push.

Deeper Resonance: In Greek Mythology, Hera is the wife of Zeus, the Queen of Olympus, and the goddess of marriage. She is also associated with family and the welfare of women and children. Here, she is depicted pregnant and in a state of fierce readiness. She also has a blue dot in the center of her throat chakra, which points to her ability to speak truth.
