A long-cherished wish of the heart is about to come true; within days fate will carry it gently to your shore.

Over the coming weeks your wish is quietly maturing; stay patient, for the still waters are already moving in your favour.
Seahorse — At the base (distant/hidden)
A wish you had long buried or kept hidden still lives in the depths, and will be gently fulfilled only in the distant future.
