Frost

16/3/2013

You've probably experienced the startling beauty of a really hard frost. The world is transformed into a frozen fairyland of sparkling toys, and sometimes treacherous roads and footpaths. One of my most abiding memories of frost is of a moonlit drive I took across central Scotland one Hogmanay after playing a gig in Stirlingshire. I had just started my own band, and had borrowed a PA from a colleague in Fife. The only thing was, he needed it for a gig the next day. The shortest route from door to door was down an assortment of winding B roads over rolling farmland and through villages. It just happened to be a full moon, and a very hard frost had been lingering for a couple of days.

The roads were slick and my car was laden with heavy gear, so I tootled along at a measured pace, passing the occasional little group of Hogmanay foot soldiers. (Scotland's drink driving laws are not to be trifled with.) It was an experience I can only describe as enchanting, as the moonlight turned every tree, bridge, rooftop and stubble field into an otherworldly vision. Tired as I was, I wished the drive would never end.

Dramatic changes are often less appealing than my moonlit drive. However, Frost is quite an ephemeral thing. If it lasts for a day or two, that's pretty unusual, and while it's real enough, very little has actually changed under the white coating. Likewise, this card tends to refer to changes that, while they seem dramatic and sweeping, turn out to be no big deal. Tomorrow may be sunny or it may rain, but the Frost will quickly be forgotten.

Sometimes, these changes are really only happening in our heads, though. That feeling of waking up and suddenly feeling old, or dissatisfied. Nothing is really different than yesterday, but something made you notice, and it's easy to get stuck in these feelings that everything has changed. If this card comes up in a reading, it might be there to remind you that the dramatic change you perceived doesn't run very deep. Don't stay stuck in this perception. This card might also be helping you to understand that a loved one is going through something like this, and help to explain their recent coldness.

Frost - Something changes dramatically overnight. A cold beauty may conceal a warm heart.
