Some other life — detail from 'Thicket'

The Explorer of Vials appears when we are sending and receiving new information about our emotions, our relationships, and our desires. Did you find the message in a bottle the Explorer is holding, or are you the one who wrote it? Perhaps both? This Explorer is figuring out their feelings and how to best communicate those to others (or even to themself; is the message from your subconscious?). They may also be learning how to respond to the feelings of others in the healthiest way for all those involved. The Explorer sits on top of the giant jellyfish where they cannot be stung, showing an understanding of healthy boundaries and compassion/respect for others. This card may represent those with strong empathic tendencies, who absorb the feelings of others and/or project theirs outwardly, but aren’t adept at handling this yet. Learning to manage this inward/outward flow is key for you or the person this card refers to.
