What does the Four of Air mean to me in the year 2017?
It is easy for us all to put a LOT of energy and excitement into New Year’s Day! It’s good to bring that excitement into each and every day of our lives, no matter what the date!
Right now, I am marching into the New Year with some big goals – one being to blog daily about cards and work more to share my journey with others. I want to share that with you!
When I work with the cards, it’s hard for me to deny the connection that I have with them – the way exact notions that I was just pondering come up when I pull a card of the day for myself.
Today was no different.
One of the concepts I was thinking about this morning (well, over the past few weeks, actually) was organization of time, of energy, of my physical space. Making room, simplifying routines for the best outcomes, etc. And the card that I pulled from the Dreams of Gaia Tarot Deck, the Four of Air, fit EXACTLY with this theme!
Now, generally speaking, the Four of Air/Swords tarot card means that you should take the time to rest and relax. It indicates that a hiatus is necessary or in store for you.
The Dreams of Gaia deck often offers expanded thoughts on the meanings of the cards.
The Four of Air in the Dreams of Gaia Tarot Deck asks a person to look at his or her habits and home to see how he or she can maximize time and space to feel most comfortable, relaxed, and successful. It encourages us to get organized, to work on creating better habits, and to better manage our time.
This concept is HUGE for me this year, as I have vowed to bring myself back into my “real world space” – back into my home and body – and to drastically cut down on the things I do that are keeping me from what I truly want to do! When I spend too much time randomly scrolling through Facebook or arguing politics, I don’t make time (make being the key word here) to hang out with my kids, to paint, to make my home a warm and comforting environment. When I have to spend an hour looking for a document I need, it frustrates me to no end and totally takes time that I could have spent enjoying life and doing other things.
My disorganization and using computer time and “work” to avoid dealing with life are issues for me.
So, pulling the Four of Air from the Dreams of Gaia Tarot deck as my card for New Year’s Day 2017 is epic. It fully embodies a large portion of my goals for the year. It hit right on target.
I see this as the Universe’s way of underscoring what I can accomplish if and when I get organized and use my time wisely.

Hi Angela!
Happy New Year! The card that came up for you today was the Ace of Air. Such a fitting card for the day! It’s all about checking in with yourself to make sure that your thinking patterns are in line with who you truly are and also a message to let what thoughts aren’t serving you go so that you can fully embrace and work with those that will.
If you’ve been down on yourself a lot lately, check in with your thoughts to make sure that your mind isn’t echoing someone else’s false ideologies about who you are and what you are about. If that is the case, try catching those negative messages as they happen and replacing them with more positive thoughts about yourself.
At the end of the day, you are the one who controls what you think about YOURSELF. Of course, others will have their own opinions, but your opinion about your life and who you are is definitely most important.
Blessings,
Sue
Thank you life is not good just now
Sorry to hear that, Angela! Are there any small things – creature comforts or little things that make you smile – that you can have more of around you? Sometimes, it is the little things that put a smile on your face. Also, remember where your focus is and also reach out to friends for support.
Blessings,
Sue
I’d love a card pulled for me 🙂
Hi Marisa,
The Child came up for you today! It is a card of following your heart and choosing joy, love, and expression over fear. What have you been dreaming of doing but holding yourself back from because you thought your idea was too (silly, expensive, out of line with reality). What would your life be like if you could “face your fears and do it anyway”?
The Child is a sign that it’s time to hold your breath, walk up to the edge, TRUST and jump!
Good luck on your journey!!
Blessings,
Sue
Happy new year Sue…its Daphnée … I would love you to pull a card for me. Thank you for the offer. Wishing you and family all the best for the new year. Hugs Daphnee
Hi Daphnee!
The King of Water came up for you today, but reversed! When he’s reversed, he symbolizes boredom in routine and feeling like life has become a trail of shoulds that you are running along. It’s time to look for a different path that is more fun and adventurous for you. It might mean seeking out new friends and experiences, or – I feel like, for you – it is returning to your SELF after people pleasing for a really long time.
You have a fire within you that NEEDS to be kindled and have a place in your life in order for you to really feel fulfilled. Look to nurture that flame and have some fun!
Blessings,
Sue
