#Core-Six-of-Swords: A journey must be taken, facing that which lies at the core of ourselves, and thus only can be taken by the self. Of others may walk along side us, may keep us company, but they cannot help us here, it is something fundamental, utterly personal that we seek and face. What we see and face will not allow itself to be hidden from, and will demand not but true confrontation.
#Woe-Secrecy-Growth-Protection: It is so tempting to hide, to bunker and hunker down, to think it’s not yet time, that we could prepare more, practice more, to gather more supplies. But if we let ourselves be trapped in this mindset, then we will never cross that line into “good enough” and instead tread into the territory of to old, to late. Begin now, commence the march, yes it is terrifying, do it terrified, what matters is that you are doing it.
#Weal-9-of-Swords: Acknowledgment and forgiveness hurts, especially when we have no one to blame for these hurts except ourselves. To acknowledge one’s failings, and one’s self harms and forgive them is seemingly impossible, for what are we underneath them? But we can’t truly step forward until we have done so. We can’t progress until we tear them open to heal truly and cleanly.
#Within-Reversed-Death: How much has ended at your own two hands that you regret? Projects, passions and relationships that you wish you had powered through, had seen through to completion or had simply never ended? It cant be brought back, it can’t be undone, but can it be salvaged, can it be remade or restarted? Some things cannot, but you would be surprised how much can be brought back if only you put some work into it.
#Without-The-Full-Moon: Focus, do not let yourself be distracted. Do not let yourself be led astray. It will be hard, but hard times are no loner slowly approaching us, they now loom, about to crash upon us. So focus, and set your eyes on the goal, on the journey, and reach its conclusion.
The is no great reward without risk, and what comes will be risky indeed. But in the future, when you look back, should you be true to yourself, the pride you feel will be more than you can imagine.
