Card Meaning

Arrows of Swift Flame speak of unstoppable momentum, energy released in full, and results that are about to arrive. The energy has been fully unleashed and every obstacle swept away; things are moving forward faster than you expected. There is no need to push any harder — simply go with the flow, for they have already gathered a momentum of their own.

When things find their own rhythm, the only thing left to do is open your hand and let them fly.
