Okay friend, it’s a new day and a new reading for you. As you can likely tell, I really do enjoy giving these readings for people so when I say that I’m excited to share a message from the cards with you, I mean every word.

Alright so what I’m seeing with the energy of this post is that you’ve been on a path of self-discovery for some time, and it has been a hard path for you. It has required a lot of work and diligence to get yourself through, especially because it’s required you to examine how well you’re taking action within the frame of your emotional and spiritual growth. This work seems to be meaningful to you because you’ve been stuck in an emotional rut for some time now, and it’s left you unsure and unaware of what to do next. It is this lack of understanding that has given you some sense of pause in your work.

As for optimizing this energy and using it for your best and highest good, one thing you may need to acknowledge is the fact that you have some work to do at this time, particularly where it comes to testing your comfort zone. Do you stay or do you go? The gate is open after all, but here’s the thing. The fact that this choice is coming up for you has you in an emotional fit because you’re resisting the idea of leaving behind what you know for uncertainty and potential discomfort. The thing is you need to keep trying and keep pushing yourself; little by little. Perhaps taking it slow will help you release the resistance you’re experiencing right now.

to clarify the issue at hand, what seems to be obvious here is that it has you feeling quite stuck in place, and the trigger from this emotional conflict is that you are experiencing anxiety and stress. You know one thing but are being called to do something else. Of course the energy doesn’t quite jive well. I do think the solution here is built in for you in that taking a pause, tapping into your intuition and reflecting on where you’ve been is going to allow you to gain the wisdom and experience, you’re looking for.
