There are some good, solid lessons we can take from our ancestors. Books and museums are filled with them. Let us take some time to consult the knowledge and experience that is already gathered  by our predecessors before we start working on a problem. Let our actions be guided by those of our (grand)parents so we do not make the same mistakes. 

All kinds of claims are being thrown at us by authoritative figures. They might the leaders of our society or our managers or even our medical doctors. Sometimes we are unable to follow them since we cannot ascertain the validity of their claims. The problems we are  facing are manifold and we are confused about the solutions we should put in place. Therefore we need to be extra careful in deciding whom we are going to trust. Let's not believe everything we're told today, it is a good time to practice critical thinking! 

Sometimes it is a good idea to take a step back in order to create some distance between ourselves and our subject, but not today! This cast clearly states that we have to come down our mountain, to roll up our sleeves and put our feet in the mud. For a firm grasp on the situation we need to fully immerse ourselves in it. Whatever we need to accomplish, it doesn't help if we do not truly engage ourselves in it. Back to work!

Sometimes we just don't know what to do. It happens to all of us and the Lady is here to remind us of the fact that there is no shame in asking for help! So, if we feel lost today, if we lack inspiration or we do not know what to think about a certain issue, let's not hesitate to ask somebody for input. Two heads know more than one!

In every situation there are two distinct positions we can occupy: either we look at it up close, maybe even from the inside, or we take a step back and observe the issue from a distance. The cast of today urges us to do just that: to detach ourselves from the situation we are in to gain a better perspective. So let us find some high ground and find new input from up there. Sometimes the higher we get, the more we see. 

We invested our time, our money and our best efforts in our  'children', both literally and figuratively, and now it's time to let them go. Whether we are talking about actual children or whether we are referring to our projects, our creations or our artwork doesn't change the outcome; we did what we could and now it is time for us to let them go. We just have to be confident that we gave them all they needed to be able to stand on their own two feet and shine without us!

The Raven Coins Daily Casts have been rather gloomy of late and this one is no exception. It warns us that the immediate future is probably going to be a difficult one. Now we know that this to will pass but in the meantime we will have to deal with the hardship we are in right now. So let us take care of each other and work on a better future. Together, because a better life is only better if it includes all of us.  

Like yesterday, the coins talk to us about loss today. Often we fear loss because we do not know what will come in it's place. However, today's cast is not about how we feel about loss, this cast is about how we are going to walk away, how we are going to enter the process of ending this situation. It is easier to start something then to end it! It can feel difficult and stressful to let something go. We need to pull ourselves together and do what is necessary. 

This set of coins confronts us with loss and grief. Sometimes as something to be scared of, and sometimes as something to embrace, but always as something to acknowledge. Eventually everything ends if only by transforming into something else. This constellation can indicate an actual death and the grief it brings, or the loss of something we hold dear.  

Nadir and the Opponent in combination with the Elder-tree are indicative of a health problem. It doesn't have to be something major but let's not ignore it. So let's pay a little extra attention to our health today and if in doubt: make a doctors appointment. 

In every situation there are two distinct positions we can occupy: either we look at it up close, maybe even from the inside, or we take a step back (or two!) and observe the issue from a distance. The cast of today urges us to do just that: to detach ourselves from the situation we are in to gain a better perspective. By creating some distance we might see the bigger picture. 

All kinds of claims are being thrown at us by the leaders of our society but we feel unable to follow them since we cannot ascertain the validity of those claims. Times are complicated, the problems the world is facing are many and we are confused about where to find solutions. Therefore we need to be extra careful in deciding were our allegiance lies. This cast warns us that the powers that be might not have our  best interest in mind, so let's be vigilant.
