My Interpretation:

So, DANG! These cards really seem to get what’s up! I’ve stuck with my The Secret Language of Animals deck, because I’m feeling that – especially now – we need to take our cues from nature. Anyway, let’s see if I can pick up what Crayfish is laying down.

Crayfish is Lobster's freshwater cousin, living an armored life in the realm of water. As such, it represents the need to be immersed in emotion, while also protecting your sense of well-being.  It is a difficult balance (There’s that word again!), but Crayfish is all about balancing opposing forces. He’s the embodiment of a slew of Complementary Opposites: Vulnerability & Strength, Protectiveness & Receptivity, and Independence & Interconnectivity (Yet another recurring theme lately).

Right now, we are all swimming in our own sea of emotion, and it is vitally important that we take care of ourselves – and others – as best we can. We’re trying to hold on to the structure of our lives, that structure gives us a sense of security & control over our being…much like the exoskeleton that protects and supports our buddy the crayfish. But…did you know that crayfish molt annually? I was totally Today Years Old when I found that out. That little tidbit of info adds a whopper of dimension to his appearance in this reading.

Yes, structure and support are needed on our journey through life. They give us the strength to continue down the path. But…we’re not on this journey to simply keep going. We’re on this journey in order to transform and become something more than we were at the outset. Y’know that saying “you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet”? Well, sometime you have to molt your freaking shell, and be vulnerable for a minute in order to grow into a bigger freaking Badass of Enlightenment than you already are (Yes, I’m looking at you. You are, indeed, a badass).

Use this time of solitude to cultivate the inner strength needed to move forward and integrate with that which is new. This is an essential part of the journey. There is great power and strength within the depths of vulnerability. If we are honest and authentic in your communications with others, and we’ll be rewarded with new and deeper levels of connection, as we persevere and continue down the path…together.

Stay Home if you can, Stay Safe if you must go out, and remember to Be Kind…for the good of all.

Until Next Time, Pixilators.

Wishing You Peace, Love, & Pixie Dust.
