Chrysalis
I grow together with the world. The wind whispers the secrets of existence beside me. Trees sway with the breeze, and the world turns green. Light and shadow shift; trees grow and move. The steps beneath my feet are traces of the path I once walked. Yet at this moment, it feels as if wings have grown from my back. An old version of myself is fading away, while a new self grows—together with time and with this world.
Symbolism:Steps: Represent the path taken to reach the present moment. Progress was achieved through these steps, not through wings—symbolizing the process of striving toward a goal.
Grassland: The current foundation. Grass holds the potential to grow into towering trees.
Trees: Symbols of nature and the world’s companionship, growing and evolving alongside the true self within the present environment.
Figure: The floating posture signifies that after walking the steps, the ability to transform—to fly—has been gained.
Wings: Transformation and rebirth.
Wind: Flowing ribbons, clothing, and swaying trees all point to the wind, symbolizing the transmission of information and awareness.
Upright:
Transformation, change, a new phase, growth, spiritual guidance, self-love, trust in oneself, self-alignment, emotional awareness, confidence, reconciliation, clarity, freedom from inner conflict, holding to principles, non-materialistic.
Personality: Internally aligned and self-consistent; focused on self-discovery and emotional awareness; actively constructing a sense of self; strong principles; clear thinking and personal viewpoints; unwilling to drift with the crowd.
Relationship: Healthy communication and mutual problem-solving. Not a perfectly matched relationship, yet rich in growth potential. Regardless of outcome, the relationship nourishes both sides.
Career/Studies: Strong potential for development. There will be challenges and setbacks, but they are solvable. Throughout the process, mental growth and experience steadily accumulate.
Finances: A cumulative and steady financial state. No sudden windfalls, but consistent stability. Persistence brings rewards. Suitable for long-term saving and financial planning, as well as purchasing daily necessities.
Advice: What kind of change is true transformation? It is accepting your own emotions and thoughts, following the natural rhythm of growth, and allowing the inner tree to take root and expand. Value yourself, love yourself, and communicate with your inner emotions. Only through self-alignment and integration can a more balanced state be reached.
Reversed:
Confusion, depletion, over-concern with others, loss of self, inner misalignment, poor growth, stagnation, meaningless busyness, lack of personal development.
Personality: Work-obsessed yet inefficient; overly concerned with others’ opinions; easily shaken; unable to achieve inner alignment; drifting with circumstances; lacking firm personal stance.
Relationship: A period of stagnation and self-doubt. The relationship cannot move forward. Ambiguity, unresolved issues, and the need for honest communication and clarification.
Career/Studies: Meaningless busyness; work with limited growth potential; emotionally draining environments; high-pressure workplaces; intense academic competition.
Finances: Financially stable but overly restrained spending. Life quality is neglected as work or study fills all space. Not suitable for increased investment. Better to spend on daily needs and improving quality of life.
Advice: You currently have strong goals and are working hard toward them, but the effort lacks structure and planning. Efficiency is lower than expected, and too much rest and emotional care have been sacrificed. You desire transformation, yet the approach is too aggressive and may push the goal further away. Release the sense of urgency. Spend time in nature for reflection and insight, and move forward at a pace that truly supports growth.
