Look within when things aren’t going your way
VIII of Potions, IX The Hermit, II of Presents, Ace of Needles
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.
Things aren’t going your way, and it’s leaving a sour taste in your mouth.
Whether it is an investment or a relationship, it was everything that you thought you wanted at first, but now it’s not turning out how you imagined it would or thought you wanted; maybe it’s exactly what you wanted, but not as fulfilling or rewarding as you thought it was supposed to be. It’s left you lost, unsure if you should continue forward or backtrack and start over–or do something else completely.
Don’t force things. Don’t make yourself smile it is making you unhappy and don’t stay with it just because you don’t want to “waste” all the time and work you’ve already put into it.
It’s time to step back and create a safe space for you to think without outside influence. This is about your wants, needs and priorities; these things can shift and change, just as everything else does. Step back and reflect on what was, and then bring in the now and examine how it’s changed. The things around you will be unbalanced if you let yourself stay unbalanced.
Re-examine, re-align and familiarize yourself with the you that is now, bring that balance back to yourself by knowing what you need and what’s important to you. Once you’re on the same page with your entire self, you’ll find the way you need to go and what you need to do. Move forward with confidence and you’ll find yourself on the path to fulfillment!
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.
