I think it’s a truth universally accepted, that we as human beings have experienced disappointments and heartaches throughout our lives. I think that’s a fact of the duality of our nature to experience this. The question of this matter is what do we do with this fact and how do deal with the fall out from this. It’s the sort of question that can be difficult to answer so let’s get into some cards and find out what we need to see to see.

cards pulled from various decks

Freedom Horse: Let your spirit fly and do not hold back. Break free and express yourself. It’s okay to flaunt your stuff, dance, laugh and explore your creative talents.

Walking in Beauty: radiant beauty surrounds you and radiates inside and out, growing in balance, grace and gratitude

Eagle Medicine: profound connection to the Creator and the heavenly realms, seeing things from a higher perspective, having courage and stamina

Flowing River: Everything is falling into place because you aren’t resisting the flow and drift of the great river of live.

8 of Cups: turning your back on disappointments and pain and making for broader horizons and a new field to water. Happiness is where you make it.

Queen of Wands: one who is bright, warm, passionate and inspirational, one who can inspire others to pursue what inspires them and strikes their passions.

6 if Cups: nostalgia, homecoming, childhood memories, reconnecting with your inner child.

One thing I’m seeing with this reading is the idea of being free and unresisting the flow of the life you’re in right now. this period of time in your life is one where you are exploring your creative talents and aspirations because you have chosen not to hold back on this front. This has taken you some time to get to because while you have developed into a bright, warm and passionate person, there have been disappointments in your space that have caused you to feel as though you are lesser and unworthy of the good things in your life. The trick here is to realize that you are not your failures; these are only stepping stones along the way for you to learn what constitutes your truest self. When you let go and make for broader shore, you let things fall into place and allow yourself to reconnect with the things that make you absolutely and unapologetically yourself.
