Queen of Wands, Vikings Tarot

Bridled excitement!

Because of recent events we're experiencing an opening up, and a feeling of becoming more comfortable in our own skin and with being vulnerable (lots of bare skin).
Part of us is feels rather excited right now - on fire (wands) even! We strongly intuit (queen) a hidden potential (closed treasure box) growing. Part of us wants to bravely trumpet out our excitement and share it with the world (rooster), but something holds us back (shyly looking away from the bird). Maybe we don't trust our intuition, maybe we hold a deep fear of 'getting our hopes up', maybe we're afraid of f***ing things up ,:)

But also - a lot more work is required (Vikings).
So we're right in putting some chains on ourselves - as to not 'get ahead of ourselves'. Mostly in the sense of premature action - which actually COULD f**k things up :)

I would assume that it's safe to embrace the excitement, and not be afraid of it.
Allow ourselves to be in it - but refrain from 'running away with it' - and unconsciously create expectations.

Whatever is cooking has to be built ground-up (the treasure box is sitting firmly on the ground, by the feet).
'Sitting with it' is the primary task.
In an open and vulnerable kind of way - in the moment, without expectations and plans for what 'should' jump out of the box.

It perfectly fine to be a little shy, as long as we don't close up and become afraid of showing our true self and begin to 'cover up'.
Also, some shyness is healthy - it could kill the mystery or the natural unfolding to 'give too much away'.
Embracing a receiving/conceiving role, not an initiating one.
