The Numbers

Aces: Something new with vast potential is indicated with many Ace cards. Aces are pure energy without form- and it depends on you to shape it and bring the opportunities they represent. Because they are raw, they are also unstable, and can quickly overwhelm if not taking caution. Overall Aces represent Beginnings, Potential, Inspiration and Opportunity. 

Twos: As we leave the individuality of the ones, the twos are a taste of union. The twos represent harmony, and a merging of opposite forces to create a whole. Twos find us when we have a couple of opportunities and we are being asked to make a choice. Overall Twos represent Duality, Choices, Balance, Harmony and Partnership

Fives: Fives bring the first challenge we have to overcome in our journey. It can indicate conflict with others, struggles or changes afoot. It is not the end, but it is a good time to examine mistakes you have made. Look within your self for a deeper reason of why to progress. To move forward, you have to push on.
