Watch out here friend. There is some cunning and trickery that seems to be coming around you however, what you fear from this is an illusion. What are you so afraid of losing? I ask this because you seem to be so held back from serving your highest good by holding onto this thing. It’s causing you stress and anxiety and perhaps you’re settling into a lack mindset because of all of this. The Death card came out in this reading and while I understand the sentiment of pain can be associated with this, all I’m seeing here is that the energy around you is changing forms and it’s making space for you to allow new and better energies to come in. I’m so happy here because this change will allow you to get off the hamster wheel of life and pursue what makes you passionate and alive again. You’re not a machine and the hustle only gets you so far before you tire out; don’t be afraid to step back and take a break.
