Alrighty friends, there’s still a rough, painful energy around some changes in your space but I’m sensing that you’re putting things together a little more effectively now than you were since the last post. Perhaps this entry can be considered a part two? I like that idea so lets get into some cards and find out what’s going on.

Alrighty friend, so given that this is going to be a continuation of the last post, I’m sensing that there’s still so much hurt and pain in your space, but you have come to some progress, and I am so thrilled to see this right now because you have chosen to drive your car forward instead of leaving it to rust in the driveway. The thing you’ve managed to do for yourself is find the light of hope in yourself and you’ve done this by not miring yourself in negativity and self-harming thought processes. No, you haven’t disavowed yourself of the pain you're feeling. But you have worked to let yourself process these things and move them on. That takes strength because the work it takes to do the healing you’ve done is amazing and I don’t think many people realize how hard it is if they haven’t been through the wringer like you have.

You’re still feeling the cycles of change so deeply and there still may be some internal conflict happening with in you. That is alright friend. I am going to say that the conflict you’re experiencing is coming from choices you need to make that you’re missing information on. I am going to advise that you do some fact finding before trying to move forward any further because I think that may help you come to some conclusions. What may help you here is knowing that you have assets to tap into that are already built into your personhood; those being endurance and passion to take action when you need to. You already have the skills developed in you to face the shifts in perspective and the ending cycles with grace and an open heart. If not, the pain you’re experiencing will feel all the worse and frankly, I think you already know that which is why you’re working so diligently to recover that.

As for the outcome of this, you’re going to gain wisdom and clarity through these experiences. The reflection you have been doing has brought you a lot of clarity in what you need to do next, and I think this is part of the reason why we’ve been seeing these cards. Even though disappointments and pain occur in this life, these don’t have to be treated as setbacks, even though that’s how they may be perceived at first. Still, these are opportunities for growth, change and learning. this may require you to put in work for a later payoff, but the gains are so very worth the reward in the end.
