Feel and experience emotion, but don’t let it control you

Merry meet, dear readers. Before you continue, take note: Tarot is for everyone, no matter your walk of life. While the cards have their own singular meanings, tarot is also largely intuitive and the meanings can change; no two tarot readers read the same way. This is a generalized reading, so take only what resonates with you and discard the rest. No picture this week.
Greetings to all of you, and welcome to the new year! I know the last few weeks have probably been stressful as we go from one holiday to another, and while generally we think of it as a happy time, we know that for some it’s not always as joyous as it seems.
Emotions are high and have been the leading force for a some time, and that’s not always a good thing. Letting your emotions control you too much leaves you overwhelmed and unbalanced, unable to really process what you’re feeling as these overwhelming emotions steamroll over your more rational thought processes. It becomes a self perpetuating cycle and becomes difficult to end if you’re not careful; left alone, it can affect your health and home balance, leaving you drained.
You need to disrupt that cycle. Find a moment where you can remove yourself from the situation and create an environment where you can begin to take back control. Indulge yourself in something that brings you joy, such as a hobby that you’re passionate about, and let yourself de-stress. Seek advice and support from an elder or someone who brings to you a sense of comfort and calm, who can in turn help you sort through these all of the conflicting emotions. Let them wash over you, but not control you. Take a breath, and continue forward; success is on the horizon, if you let yourself move towards it!
I hope you find something for yourself in this reading, reader. May your days be filled with love and light, even when it all feels too much; and remember to always be kind. Merry part, and merry meet again! Blessed be.
