The Daughter of Pentacles is my card for today. The image on this
one is a fawn, covered with spots, ears pricked forward. She is watching and learning, curious
and eager to experience the great mystery that is the world around her, yet
hesitant, even uneasy at times. But
her hesitation does not last for very long, because her curiosity (flavored
with gentleness and purity) is more powerful. The delights of the forest await her, and she is eager to
begin! My initial feeling upon
looking at this image is one of a childlike wonder, and a gentle and hesitant
yet difficult to deny urge to explore.
Since Dissolution is about the element of Water,
let’s talk about the Yin meridians connected with Water, the kidney meridian
(Yin) and the bladder meridian (Yang).
First, the kidney meridian.
This meridian begins in the ball of the foot, between the second and third
toes, and continues up the front inside of the leg to the base of the spine,
where it enters the torso. When it
reaches the kidneys, it splits into two branches (which are accessed just to
the outside of the navel and inside the nipple on each side), then join
together and continue to the base of the tongue.
The kidney meridian is about maximum
contraction, cold, and fear, it is about will power and vitality, death and
renewal. Since it deals with fear
it is also connected to our adrenal glands, as well as our bones and
teeth. The kidneys regulate fluids
in the body (and thus, salt and potassium levels in the body) and excrete
toxins. The meridian deals with
energy levels and helps us to deal with mental stress. Since the meridian is connected to
fluid balance, it also deals with emotional and spiritual balance. Imbalances can cause lung issues, dry
tongue, edema, constipation or diarrhea, restlessness or insomnia, back ache,
or a heaviness in the lower body.
