Card #17 — The Tree
“Rooted and reaching.”
The Tree is a living bridge between earth and sky. Its message: you can be both grounded and expansive. Stability doesn’t limit your growth—it fuels it.
Message
This card appears when you need to remember your roots. Your ancestors, your experiences, your values—these are the soil that feed you. Lean into them when life feels uncertain. The stronger your roots, the higher you can rise.
The Tree also calls you to stretch upward. Don’t shrink to fit the space you’re in. Reach for your dreams, your truth, your light. Just as branches spread wide, your spirit was meant to expand.
Rooted and reaching—you are both. Balance the pull of your past with the call of your future. Growth happens when you honor both directions.
Affirmation
I am deeply rooted and endlessly reaching. My growth is steady, balanced, and true.
