Here and Now I Exist – Who you are now, in your entirety.
Building and New Look – Well, we can’t get more on the nose than that. Tomorrow, the first payment of the levy for my condo building’s repairs come out and things are put in motion to begin the work. There’s been a lot of stress involved in getting the money for the levy together. These cards indicate that with papers signed and payments lined up, everything is now on its way to moving in the right direction.
The Slough – What is to be left in the past as you move forward.
Force and Barriers – You don’t have to keep pushing in this area. You’ve fought your hardest through the month of January, and are battle scarred as a result. There’s no force needed now, though. Any pushing you do at this point will only make things more difficult. Now that you’ve managed to get done what needed done, and the ball is now beginning to roll? Settle in and let things move at their own pace instead.
What Lies Ahead – An ideal state or ideal self you are seeking at this time.
Dead and Dawn – Your need for vengeance is riding you hard right now. The clusterfx of January has someone to blame, and you want your pound of flesh for making such a mess of things. It’s okay to let it go now, though. You’ve already done enough. Like the boots left behind by the dragon after his meal, there is no need to choke down the boot leather as well as the traveler who wore them.
Limitations – Negative influences, opposition, or ill will.
Past and Yearning – There’s no point in looking back on what was and wishing you could return to it. There’s going to be a few hurdles still to go before things calm down for you again, and you need to keep your eye on the prize and optimistic about getting there, rather than looking behind you and wishing for what’s been left behind in the past.
The Boon – Positive influences, higher guidance, or divine intervention.
Frugality and Dream Tree – Having to refinance your mortgage has really helped you in getting all your ducks in a row financially, and this new level of organization is allowing you to not just see where your funds are going, but the possibilities of what you can do with them moving forward as well.
The Wound – An unpleasant past experience or event that is ripe for some support and healing.
Indolent and Self-Awareness – Stop looking at the times you need a little rest or are enjoy a bit of relaxation as laziness. That word… “laziness” is an echo from the past. It’s not your word, but a viewpoint you have been conditioned to see through past treatment from others. It’s time to work on re-framing these moments into a healthier perspective.
Nostalgia – A positive past experience or event to acknowledge, reflect upon, and enjoy.
Absolution and Nurturing – When you seek forgiveness from within, it helps everything feel a little healthier and a little better. Sometimes you just have to accept things as they are rather than always judging yourself harshly. No one else holds a grudge against you like those you hold against yourself. Cut yourself some slack and give yourself a little kindness, and you will thrive far better than starving yourself of these things would ever manage.
A Warning – Something coming that can be prevented or overcome.
Imploring and Rough & Ready – Don’t ignore the danger hidden among the weeds. Don’t give second chances to those that don’t deserve it. Keeping your eye on the prize is one thing, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t still be looking around and acknowledging the risks and dangers that are far closer than you think.
Empowerment – A future opportunity to work toward.
Famous and That’s All – I can’t say that fame has ever been one of those things that I’ve ever been interested in, but I do enjoy being admired. These cards indicate that the opportunity is there. That when you remain close to those that matters and watch over them, you earn the most valuable kind of admiration of all. What more recognition does one really need?
Message from the Spirit World – Working hard towards something doesn’t have to mean it’s all about immediacy and force. Sometimes it’s important to take things a little at a time instead, and in the end you achieve what you really value most instead of the less important goals you’d set your sights on in the first place.
Message from the Mind’s World – Sometimes the negative inner narratives in your head that hold you back can’t be overcome by force. Instead, a chance of scenery is needed to put them in their place and show them just how inconsequential they are. Get out in nature and breathe deep.
Message from the Physical World – You are in need of rest and self-care. You’ve been through a lot of stress lately, and it’s time to give yourself the TLC you deserve (not to mention have more than earned in the past month of struggle, strife, and tribulation).
Take Away – It’s time to step back and let things move at their own pace. Not just with the mortgage and the bank, but with the levy, with your work worries, and with everything else too. Don’t push right now. Not yourself, not anything else either. Just take it easy and let things roll along. Whatever pushing you do is only going to get in the way and slow things down right now.
