Card #2 — Phoenix
“Burn it down, rise again.”
The Phoenix is fire and rebirth. This card shows up when it’s time to torch the old, even if it hurts, and rise out of the ashes with new wings.
Message
The Phoenix doesn’t cling to what’s dead. It surrenders to the flames, knowing destruction is part of creation. This card reminds you: endings are not failures — they are sacred beginnings.
You are being called to release what no longer serves. Burn down the illusions, the stale patterns, the lies you’ve been told about who you are. In the ashes, your truth waits. The rise is always more powerful than the fall.
Affirmation
I rise stronger from every ending.
