Maple Leaves, Sevens…and Feng Shui
January 20, 2008
By Dove, www.TarotwithLove.com I was doing some organizing the day before yesterday and opened an old book, and to my surprise I found a maple leaf, and then another and another. Three maple leaves. I only vaguely recall putting them in there several years ago, while living in a wonderful rural area that I may have mentioned on here before. So, of course, coming upon such a thing has meaning :)
But I didn’t ponder that so much in that moment, was just wondering where to put them. Back in the book, maybe in a special box or something? I’ve been trying to hone up the Feng Shui in my apartment and I didn’t want any dead leaves to mess up the Prosperity or Relationship areas :) so I decided the Angel or “Helpful People” area would be safe. And there was a nice sunny spot on a little table there in which to place them. They looked kinda cute there :) So off I went about my business.
I glanced over at them again this morning and decided to find out the dream symbol meaning of the maple leaf in this here “dream” that is this life :) And here’s what I found…
======================
To see a maple leaf in your dream, represents each of the five senses and what it has to offer. It also denotes a helping or protective hand.
=======================
My favorite Feng Shui book is called “Move Your Stuff, Change Your Life,” written by a sharp, funny, and no-nonsense girl named Karen Rauch Carter. I’ve had her book for years. She calls it the “Helpful People and Travel” area. I often reference it as the “Angel Corner.” When you walk in the front door, it’s the corner of the whole house to your right. And what’s one tool she considers a “power tool” in this area? A picture of, or some other form of a hand, representing a helpful hand. My maple leaves, helpful hands :)
How cool is that. I’ve noticed before how I have just intuitively placed things in the appropriate area without knowing or conisidering that the energy of it is good in that particular area. I also found another site that said the maple leaf was a symbol of love. Hmm, that’s also wonderful and very synchronous. I’ve been getting the Tarot’s sweet Two of Cups a lot lately as well, a message of love and/or very harmonious interactions. So these are all very sweet messages for the “new beginnings” I’m currently moving toward…
So what a sweet thing that the Universe has given me with these lovely little pressed maple leaves for my Angel Corner :)
There seems to be a bit of heightened “magic” this morning. The Crow has visited me a couple of times this week, also this morning. He cawed 7 times, twice. I was lying in bed and I was thinking what an odd number of caws that was for my Crow baby ;) But it was very synchronous. Two of my French friends on here both mentioned the Chariot card (Tarot) to me in the last couple of days. The Chariot is one of the major arcana cards, number 7.
It’s a good card, and I think it speaks of victory, but I really need to use some of its “hard control” on myself to reach my goals. So off I go, to apply some of of that there “hard,” but balanced, self-discipline :)
Peace,
Dove
