In Ancient Egyptian symbology, the Lotus represented creation, rebirth, and the sun’s daily renewal.
But if you see this card here, your Lotus has been stifled – which means that it’s still stuck in the dark, nutrient-depleted waters of unending hustle and unreasonable self-expectation.
You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to be everything to everyone. Just relax…
This card implies a disconnection from the natural cycles of rest and rejuvenation, something that is symbolised by the nightly descent and daily ascent of the Lotus.
It suggests that the cause of your burnout lies in the neglect of these cycles. Instead of paying attention to your most basic physical need for rest and rejuvenation, you’ve instead drowned yourself in duties and pressures. You’ve forgotten to give yourself the opportunity to emerge and bask in the restorative light of self-care and regeneration.
