This tarot card juggles the symbolism of error and beauty, violence and grace, and the tiny body that carries lifetimes in its dots.

Ladybug  is juggling with love while feeling bugged. A bug can be an error, but since she can fly, she outlfies them. She is also a symbol of mindless violence. On her back are the black spots that are the black holes in the auric body (tenth chakra), that have turned parts of the lightbody into shame. These parts are tuned out, an try to forget about themselves. 

It is not for nothing that there are long waitinglists for therapy, and the world seems to have gone crazy. But by talking about your issues and expecting help from others, you may only deepen the holes or cover them up with the idea that you have done everything in your power. Yours of that of the therapist? The help you seek out of distrusting yourself may have come from many moments in which you knew exactly what would help you, but you neglected it. The idea that others know better than you and wanting to be saved by them, is a very natural feeling. For this feeling seems to give us lifelines towards life itself and reconnection with the world. But the world needs you, even in your pain. It needs your resilience not to just survive, but to acknowlegde mostly the self-neglect. When you stop making yourself transparent, the Trance of the False Parent has no hold over you. For this is the generational and universal trance, that came from the neglected child within all of us. 

You are loved, just as you are. Take baby steps in simple acts that may bring you joy. A walk in the park, or walking in the rain, so you feel special walking out there, while others sit at home avoiding the grace of water falling down upon them physically. Cherish the hero within yourself that does small things that no one else would do if they were 'in their right mind'. Your right mind is exactly That what does the things that society finds 'inappropriate'. This being different is a gift, so take it!

Upright: THE LADYBUG teaches us that love is light, but it is not weightless. She shifts through moments of passion and grace, yet carries hidden wounds on her back. The black spots aren't just cute—they are holes in the auric field, where shame once scorched the self. This card asks: What parts of you have been turned out in shame? How have you learned to fly despite the bugs in your code? In her juggling dance is resilience, but also a plea: Don't distract yourself with love's performance—notice the shadows behind the sparkle.

Reversed: In reversal, the ladybug falls. She loses rhythm, or perhaps chooses to drop the act. The bugs become overwhelming—errors in trust, unconscious violence, or self-directed sabotage. You may be caught in a pattern of trying to outfly the ache without healing it. This card calls you inward: Let the lightbody mend. Name the shame. Even black holes can pulse with unseen light if held gently. The flight will return, but first—land.
