Out of the Blue

The first thing that this card made me think of is my best mate, who is expecting a little boy. She is very close to having him, so I wonder if this is some kind of premonition. This Little Boy Blue does look as though he's ready to be catapulted into the world, doesn't he?

On a more abstract level, I guess we could see this card as new beginnings of all kinds. Things are born into the world all of the time; new jobs, projects and fresh starts. With my friend in mind, things don't always turn up just like that. Aside from the nine months of tiredness, struggle and discomfort of pregnancy, it took her and her husband over four years to make their baby. So when this card comes seemingly out of the blue today, I wonder if what it symbolises had been conceived some time before. This could be a multitude of things for me. To be honest, I've given up even thinking that it could be about work. I have an interview at the Job Centre today. The last thing I will get from them is a lead to anything useful , so I don't think that this card will be connected to my appointment.

As well as all things new, I also see innocence connected to this card. Babies are extremely vulnerable when they're born and the card highlights how we can be taken advantage of when in need. We are having a new boiler fitted at the moment, so I am hidden away in my room by choice as the two guys fit it in the loft. We know one of the guys who is sorting it out, so I doubt that he'd take advantage, but the card does warn me against being taken in by others, as the Little Boy Blue might through naivety.
