Clarifier Roles

Soften

These cards bring gentle, healing or easing energy. They cushion the intensity of the main card, offering comfort, hope, or reassurance. A soften card suggests that the situation may not be as harsh as it first appears and that a lighter, more compassionate approach is possible.

Emphasize

These cards underline or sharpen the core theme of the main card. They heighten urgency, truth, or intensity. An emphasize card tells you that the central message cannot be ignored. It is asking for direct attention. When this role appears, the clarifier amplifies what is already present.

Expand

These cards broaden the scope of the main card. They add context, reveal ripple effects or shift your perspective. An expand card invites you to see the bigger picture and consider angles you may not have noticed. It does not contradict the main card, but enlarges its meaning.

Card meanings 21-30

21. Interconnection

yarn - collaboration

Yarn is a symbol of narrative and continuity. Each thread represents a choice, a story or a connection, woven together to form the fabric of your life. This card invites you to examine the story you are telling — about yourself, your relationships, or your situation. Yarn also represents community, collaboration and the weaving of many lives into one tapestry. Spiritually, it suggests that you have the power to choose your thread, to edit or to begin weaving a new pattern.  

 

What thread are you pulling now? Why does it empower you or does it keep you tangled?

 

As a clarifier: expands

Yarn asks you to follow the idea of the main card. It suggests looking at the larger story or pattern at play. It advises editing the narrative or choosing a new thread to shift the outcome.


22. Keepsake

locket - intimacy

The Locket holds what is most precious, close to the heart. This card represents intimacy and the private treasures of life. It suggests that something dear to you, a relationship, a value, or a memory, deserves protection and care. The Locket may symbolize a certain sentimentality that keeps you tied to the past, for better or worse. In relationships, this card highlights tenderness, vulnerability, and the willingness to share what matters most. The Locket is a reminder that not everything needs to be displayed publicly; some treasures gain strength from being kept close.

 

What are you holding onto (too) tightly? Why are you afraid of letting it go?

 

As a clarifier: softens

The Locket directs the main card’s meaning toward intimacy or something deeply personal. It suggests looking at private truths or cherished values as part of the resolution. It reminds you to hold close what matters most.


23. Lightness

feather - sign

The Feather symbolizes lightness, ease and the subtle signals of guidance. This card suggests that the support you need is already present, though it may arrive quietly rather than dramatically. It also invites you to release unnecessary weight — perfectionism, worry, or the belief that everything must be hard-earned. The Feather is often considered a message from the unseen, reminding you that you are guided and not alone. It encourages gentleness and open listening.

 

What if the way forward could be easier than you think? Where are you unnecessarily complicating things?

 

As a clarifier: softens

The Feather softens the main card’s energy. It suggests that the situation does not need force but attentiveness to small cues. Look for light signals, subtle synchronicities, or gentle ways forward. Ease, not struggle, will resolve the matter.


24. Memory

gramophone - echo

The Gramophone plays echoes of the past. It suggests that something from history, whether personal, familial or cultural, is replaying in your present. This card may point to nostalgia, traditions and unfinished stories that still influence you. It can also highlight the comfort of familiar music and memories, reminding you that the past holds lessons and meaning. This card encourages you to listen to the past, honor what it has given you and then decide how loudly it should play in your present life. Sometimes revisiting an old memory or story with compassion can allow it to integrate and stop repeating unconsciously.

 

What old 'soundtracks' dictate your current choices in life?

 

As a clarifier: expands

This card draws attention to the role of the past in shaping the main card. It suggests reviewing old patterns, memories that influence the present. It suggests respecting the past without letting it overshadow today's opportunities.


25. Opportunity

golden ticket - luck

The Golden Ticket represents rare and unexpected opportunities. Lady Luck may be opening a door for you, one that does not come along often. It could be an invitation, a coincidence or a chance that appears “too good to be true.” Often, opportunities go unclaimed not because they aren’t real, but because fear, doubt or hesitation prevents us from stepping forward. This card reminds you that timing matters and luck favors those who are willing to act when the window opens. Accept the opportunity with readiness and responsibility, not greed. 

 

Which opportunity did you fully recognize and claim? Which chance slipped through your fingers and how did you go from that point?

 

As a clarifier: emphasizes

The Golden Ticket amplifies the main card with a rare chance or stroke of luck. It signals that the circumstances around the central issue are unusually favorable right now. The invitation is clear: step forward with confidence, because the door will not remain open indefinitely.


26. Passage

bridge - transition

The Bridge represents a connection between two points. It is not the destination itself, but the means by which you move from one state to another. This card signifies transition, showing that you are in a passage between what was and what will be. It may not feel stable — bridges are places of exposure, suspended between solid ground — yet they are essential. Crossing the bridge requires trust that the structure will hold and that the journey is worth completing. Symbolically, this card can also indicate reconciliation: building understanding between two people, ideas, or aspects of yourself. It encourages you to acknowledge both sides of the crossing — where you came from and where you are going — without lingering too long in the middle. Bridges are temporary places, meant to be traversed. This card reassures you that the transition you are in has a purpose, even if you don’t yet see the other side clearly.

 

What bridge are you crossing at this moment? Where is it leading? How does it feel to cross this bridge?

 

As a clarifier: expands

The Bridge reframes the main card as a transitional step. It suggests that you are between phases and encourages patience with the in-between. The emphasis is on continuing movement rather than stagnating. It can also highlight the need for reconciliation or connection as part of resolving the central message.


27. Planning

map - orientation

The Map is the tool we use to understand where we are, where we’ve been and where we are going. This card encourages you to pause and orient yourself.  The Map reminds you that while plans don’t guarantee control over every twist and turn, they help you move with clarity. This may be a call to set goals or envision the path ahead. Maps are also reference points; they remind us that others have traveled similar terrain. You may benefit from seeking guidance or following a model, but ultimately, your journey will be unique. 

 

Where in life are you moving intentionally? What part could use some more mapping out?

 

As a clarifier: expands

The Map grounds the main card in practicality. It translates a vision into steps. It suggests that planning, orientation and organizing resources will help resolve the issue. This is not about rigid control but about creating enough clarity to move forward.


28. Power

dragon - courage

The Dragon represents raw power, courage and transformation. In myths, dragons often guard treasures, symbolizing that your greatest gifts may lie beyond your greatest challenges. This card invites you to face fears and claim the strength that lies on the other side of confrontation. The Dragon is not about reckless force but about channeled power. You may be asked to protect what is sacred or to stand firmly in your truth. The Dragon also represents wisdom earned through trials. It is not a beginner’s energy but one that emerges after enduring hardship and gaining insight. When the Dragon appears, it signals that you have more capacity than you realize. The challenge before you is not here to destroy you but to awaken your strength.

 

What fire burns in you that can be directed toward creation rather than destruction?

 

As a clarifier: emphasizes

The Dragon supercharges the main card’s message. It emphasizes that courage and strength are needed to move forward. It suggests that the central issue contains transformative power and that facing it directly will unlock hidden resources.


29. Protection

umbrella - shield

This card is a symbol of shelter, offering protection from storms. This card suggests that boundaries are necessary. It may indicate a time when you need to protect your energy, resources or emotions. Umbrellas do not stop the rain; they provide cover so you can move through it. This card reminds you that protecting yourself does not mean closing off completely, but finding the right level of shield for your circumstances. Spiritually, it reassures you that you can weather difficulties if you carry the right tools of protection.

 

Where do you need to create protection for time, energy, emotions? What boundaries or supports could serve as an “umbrella” right now?

 

As a clarifier: softens

The Umbrella adds the theme of protection to the main card. It advises creating buffers, setting boundaries, or shielding resources so you can move safely through challenges.


30. Purity

lotus - resilience

The Lotus grows out of muddy water but stays clean and blooms beautifully above it. This card symbolizes resilience and purity. It tells that you may be in the process of growing through difficulty. The Lotus does not deny the mud, it uses and transforms it. Challenges don't define you, but help you grow. This card is also associated with awakening and compassion. The Lotus grows slowly, one petal at a time, reminding you that emergence is gradual. Protect your unfolding, and trust the process of blooming.

 

What gradual process is going on in your life at the moment? How can you use 'the mud' to grow stronger?

 

As a clarifier: softens

The Lotus reframes the main card with resilience. It suggests that the situation is already moving toward growth, even if slowly. It encourages grace, patience and trust in the gradual process.
