Time To Rest

Deck used is the Everyday Tarot by Bridgit Esselmont

So what is it about moving on that makes it so hard? Is it the changes that need making? Is it the way it’s done? What do we do when we’ve made the change and it still hurts? It’s a fact of life that things don’t stay stagnant. So I suppose the better question is how do we make the best of the lessons learned? Let’s find out, shall we?

With this reading, I am seeing that there has been a necessity to move away from my comfort zone and that this has caused me some fear and discomfort. Perhaps things in these situations didn’t work out for one reason or another and emotions like sadness, anger, and disappointment have lingered and made things difficult to handle. In cases like these, I need to understand that moving on is my only option. I also see a call to action with these situations and that is that I must take a rest and heal. There has been some mild trauma with not succeeding in these situations and even though wearing my heart in my sleeve isn’t a bad thing, it means that it’s likely to get hurt a lot easier than if I didn’t. Knowing that I have it in me to do this, as well as I have a maternal, nurturing energy to help is what’s going to move me forward. The result of this is that I’ll be able to find unity and peace, satisfaction with what I have in my life, and a greater ability to express gratitude for the blessings in my life and lessons learned.
