A woman with long brown hair stands straight on top of a mound. Her arms are outstretched on either side of her body and her palms face upward. This signals a readiness to receive guidance and perspective. A light encircles her head, noting connection to divinity. While her palms are ready to receive, her face is angled toward the ground. Her stance is humble. It is as if she is open-minded to the gifts that God has in store for her. The Celtic knots covering the mound she stands on and surrounding her body indicate an inter-connectedness with all possibilities, simultaneously. There is a flexibility in her communion.

There are dragonfly wings attached to the woman’s body. The dragonfly in the Celtic tradition symbolizes transformation. This change denotes an emotional shift, new insights into oneself, and and overall deeper understanding to our connection to life. The dragonfly also symbolizes creativity and clear insight. Seeing a dragonfly can represent that a healing change is coming; a rebirth of sorts. Dragonflies are also known to see the see the truth in situations and discern authenticity.

Pulling this card asks you to live in your Truth and to be an authentic representation of yourself. At the same time, this card asks you to acknowledge how others are encouraged to live their Truths as well. If you find yourself judging someone or a situation too harshly, in what ways are you resisting their right to live authentically? The Dragonfly Goddess encourages us to see situations with clear insight and understanding. We should not shrink ourselves to avoid offending others. However, we must find diplomatic ways to allow others to shine in their own right, even if we find disagreement with them.

When this card appears, think about the ways in which you harshly judge yourself or others. How can you transmute this energy into empathy? Instead of enacting judgment, where could you employ more genuine curiosity? There is no need to worry over how others conduct themselves when you have faith in your own right to express yourself.

I would associate this card with Gemini. The archetype of Gemini is open-minded and flexible. Gemini is able to find joy in learning about and entertaining other points of view. After having considered these points of view, a soul-centered Gemini that has evolved through Sagittarius can make definitive statements about their personal beliefs – their ultimate Truth.
