★ Tarot Sentence:
Upright: Authority * teaches * with certainty.
Inverted: Control * imposes * with intolerance.
☆ Special Guidance:
Mundane: It’s better to endure suffering or abstention than to be in a position where you’ll have to compromise yourself or your values.
Esoteric: If your mind is filled with all the things it thinks it wants and needs, there can be no room for betterment. For the Higher to enter, some of the debris must be cleared away. Let go of your attachment to the past, feelings of loss, or your old routine; move into the new and unknown. That is where you’ll find your opportunities now.
Best Course of Action: Don’t allow yourself to be pulled under or overcome. Learn to operate in a new way and develop more strength of will.
Outcome: You will be prevented from moving forward or advancing at this time by the “powers that be.”
