Introduction
My Tarot Tuesday Twosome takes two cards and explains what they suggest about the present and immediate future. Two cards can show point / counter-point situations. They can show a situation and further details to consider. They can indicate the present situation ... and the near future or the next step in the progression.
They give literally twice as much information as the familiar One-Card Reading, and I have found them to be surprisingly prescient in my practice with them. So, I decided to bring them here to my Steemit blog -- to show you what I mean and invite you to consider their weekly message / prediction ... and step into a more conscious life.
5 of Fire = self-image / self-identity problems, lack of confidence, self-doubt, not knowing what you stand for or what's the right thing for you
8 of Fire Reversed = pushing too hard, timing problems, doing things that don't matter, lack of focus and productive results, being exhausted, unable to concentrate, running in circles, getting nowhere
A comment on current conditions
What are these cards saying?
"Personal problems" have pushed you to the point of disintegration.
Settle down. Ground yourself. Get centered. Remember who you are and what you're worth. Reclaim your confidence. This disarray isn't helping anyone, least of all you.
You're working through confusion and chaos -- toward a better understanding of yourself, your place and your value. Meanwhile, much of your energy and focus is being spent on things that don't matter. Stop obsessing. Stop pushing. Step back. Let go. Take care of yourself.
A forecast of the future
As a one-two sequence,
cause and effect / situation and result,
present situation and next situation
Your self-image is unstable. You're going through a time of challenge and growth -- and you're not sure you're up to it. Being exhausted and hysterical is a poor choice. It only adds to the chaos. Back off, stop obsessing and pushing ... at least long enough to get it together so you can focus properly.
A point to ponder
Simple words of wisdom
to make the journey more interesting
Being upset, scattered, poorly focused, exhausted, etc., is counterproductive. Turn inward. Align your resources so you can actively pursue some important objective. Being at sea and half crazy is accomplishing nothing constructive. Do what it takes to fix that. Right now, you're getting in your own way -- and you could be your biggest problem. Calm down and be on your own side (for a change.)
Be objective. Get your inner situation in order. Take care of your physical health. Get enough rest. Replenish your energy. Return to your self-care and spiritual practices. They can help more than what's happening at the moment. Get yourself in shape to move forward -- but keep in mind, the time for that isn't here yet.
Side note: Mercury goes direct on March 28. Mars moves into Gemini on April 1. When this happens -- in the following days, you'll see better ways to cope with your situation. You'll have better ideas. You'll see your situation more clearly. You'll find options you hadn't considered. You'll find different actions to take. You'll take a scattergun approach to solving these problems ... and have multiple paths to victory. What you think you're "stuck with" now isn't the end of the world. Honest, it's not.
