The Clouds speak:
“I swirl, I change, I shift. Visibility is low as the winds blow. My mist obscures your view of things both real an imagined. Who can tell in the churning flow that foster? Can you find your way through my evolving fog? Do I veil a great light or a gaping darkness? The only way out is through.”
Interpretation Advice:
The Clouds bring uncertainty and changing conditions. This influence can last for an indeterminate amount of time since nothing is a sure thing when the clouds descend upon you. Its appearance could mean that you don’t know the entire story. Perhaps someone has pulled the wool over your eyes. There is something that you are unsure of, and you cannot see the way ahead. The motto of the Clouds, “After trials, consolation” reminds you that this condition will eventually pass. You can either hunker down and wait for the clouds to pass or walk your way out.
