A ghostly hand reaches out of a cloud and holds a branch like wand. The wand is living and bears green leaves, some of which are falling through the air. A peaceful river valley lies in the background with a castle perched atop a small promontory.
A startling, perhaps even earthshaking new idea or insight. The start of a new venture or enterprise that will take you in a totally different direction. Perhaps an unexpected phone call or letter that opens up unexpected, positive horizons. The leaves falling from the wand signal benefits that will develop out of the original idea.
Reversed – A new beginning or idea but it may not be the right time to bring it to fruition or it may be poorly received by those around you. Go back and examine the idea more carefully to see what flaws need to be corrected and what details need to be filled in.
EXAMPLES: A bolt from the blue. A flash of inspiration that is so powerful that it knocks you on your ass.
An artist or writer who suddenly breaks into a whole new style and a higher level of creativity.
