Sometimes, I feel like a challenging situation is made all the more challenging when we don’t understand why we’re experiencing it in the first place. I think for me, this is the cause of so much stress and rumination. So how do I get past my ruminating and intrusive thoughts? Let's see what messages the cards have for me, shall we?

Things are coming to light in my health and the way I work towards my creative dreams. Things are ending a and this is going to require maturity and wisdom to handle. There is deeper meaning to be found in the discomfort and it will be on me to find it in its time. Things are changing energetically and physically and this is requiring a good hard look at my foundations and what brings me balance. Again, I need to work on making things work, even out of the hurt I may be feeling. I need to ask myself who holds the chains that keep me back. Am I the one holding myself back or is it someone else? Likely, it’s me. I have the endurance, power, and fearlessness to get through my challenges. I’ll be able to claim my space, speak my truth and pass wisdom on to others by doing so.
