Here and Now I Exist – Who you are now, in your entirety.
Three of Blades – Disappointed. Yeah. Unfortunately there’s been some conflict with friends recently and disappointment pretty much covers it. Your brain keeps poking at your emotions, trying to wring out logic from them, and have managed to sort through things, but it’s left you feeling disappointed and sad.
The Slough – What is to be left in the past as you move forward.
Strength – Let go of the need to manipulate and “fix” the situation. It’s not going to work and you’re going to end up hurt if you keep trying.
What Lies Ahead – An ideal state or ideal self you are seeking at this time.
Two of Sticks – New direction cleansed of imbalance.
Limitations – Negative influences, opposition, or ill will.
Ten of Swords – Seeing this as “the end” is not healthy or constructive. Although you don’t need to fix things, you do need to let them lie rather than playing “clean up on aisle 3”.
The Boon – Positive influences, higher guidance, or divine intervention.
Knight of Blades – Ambition and drive are on your side. Don’t allow the current setbacks to bank those fires.
The Wound – An unpleasant past experience or event that is ripe for some support and healing.
The Sun – Losing something that you perceive as happiness hurts. The winds of change can take these things away and leave you bereft. Look to past experiences and see if this one can help heal some of those that might be along a similar vein in the past.
Nostalgia – A positive past experience or event to acknowledge, reflect upon, and enjoy.
Six of Cups – Not all of it was bad. Make sure you are remembering and connecting with the good memories too. It helps even out the imbalances.
A Warning – Something coming that can be prevented or overcome.
The Star – Don’t blindly put all your eggs (or faith in others) in one basket. Closing your eves and running ahead while ignoring what’s going on in front of you is a bad idea.
Empowerment – A future opportunity to work toward.
The High Priestess atop Nine of Sticks – Better understanding of threats and challenges to what matters to you through a combination of intuition and experience.

Side Note – Although this was supposed to be a personal check in with myself, it turned into a reading about a specific, ongoing situation due to the fact I was trying to pull my cards while talking to my partner about that situation.
