A sunset sky of warm orange, gold, pink, and blue holds the entire composition, a rainbow arc moving across the middle of the piece. Text layers across the sky in faded typewritten script, the words YOU'RE NOT IN TROUBLE and NO ONE'S MAD AT YOU visible at the top, other lines of affirmation and medicine woven throughout. A large teal and gold double ring sits at the center of the piece like an orbital frame. Inside those rings, a large pink and yellow patterned snake coils around a giant lit match, its red head bursting outward in rays of light. Cowrie shells are placed around the outer ring like anchors. Sunflowers bloom on both sides of the composition. The base of the piece is earth, dark soil on the left with a small lit candle burning in it, sandy soil at the center where the match and snake are rooted. A dark shadowy form sits in the upper right.

The reading relayed that gifts are present and the work is to stop holding them back. The cards called toward reciprocity, collaboration, toward community that will amplify what one carries and holds as one holds others. The Shedding Skin and the Fifth Element together said that the liberation available requires releasing the attachments and the dishonesty that have kept things smaller than they are meant to be.
