You plant the seed, you tend the vine, and when the fruit appears, your job is to wait.
.
This is true for gardening but also for any other practice of creating in the material world. Right now, we've already put in the effort, and all the situation needs from us is time. Nothing you do to the fruit at this point will make it ripen faster.
.
The Motherpeace tarot has pretty much my favorite version of this card ever. (Plus it reminded me that I have a watermelon.) In other decks this is often an image of nearly-ripe fruit, but including a pregnant woman brings the meaning of this card back to the human bodily experience. Even if we're not female-bodied and even if we never experience pregnancy. We can't push ourselves to make changes that we're not ready for, even if we think we *should* do something faster, or if we're getting pressure from outside.
.
What we create changes us, too. We're never the same after we bring something big and important into the world. We can tune in with what life is like right now, mark it in our memory as the time before the change. What we have worked for is coming.
.
Personally, I find this card reassuring. I hope it helps, you too!

(I'm reading tarot at a baby shower this weekend, and this card makes me think of the lovely mama-to-be!)
