Taken together, these four cards represent the opportunities, conflicts, and interrelationships among the different spheres of your life. They may indicate barriers in some areas, balanced by progress in others. They tend to be descriptive, rather than judgmental. It is worthwhile to study this row for awhile before revealing the other cards, concentrating on possible courses of action that acknowledge the situations depicted in each of the four elemental cards. The three cards of the second row show your situation as part of the continuing cosmic drama.

The sustainer takes the exuberant raw energy of the creator and gives it structure, shaping it into something of more lasting value.
