Today’s Tarot Message: Feeling hung up? Blocked? Don’t waste your energy trying to bulldoze ahead, there are forces at work that you just can’t fight today. Wait and see, look at things from a different perspective, and use this delay to think about any adjustments that need to be made. Be serene, go with the flow. This introspective, inactive time will lead you to illumination and deeper wisdom.

Questions to ask yourself:
What area of my life needs some new perspective?

Do I feel frustrated or blocked in some area? Why? How can I change that?
Do I find it difficult to let go of control in my life? Why and how does that affect me?
