Think I’ll do a little tarot reading for myself.

Lol of course

“The heart of the matter”

Oh come ON

(“An opposing or complicating factor”)

Hahaha oh no

1. Heart of the Matter: The Fool
2. An opposing or complicating factor: The 3 of Swords
3. An unconscious influence: The 2 of Swords
4. A receding influence: Justice
5. Attitudes and beliefs: The World
6. An approaching influence: Ace of Pentacles
7. Me as I am: Knight of Swords
8. External environment: Page of Cups
9. Advice: Four of Swords
10. Overall outcome: The 10 of Pentacles

I actually need to, like, reflect on this one

Thoughts:

Wow, look at all those swords! It’s pretty rare for me to draw many swords for myself.

I always *want* to pull The 4 of Swords but hardly ever do and now it shows up as “advice”? Advice that (for once) contradicts my emotional impulse?? The *one* time I *don’t* want to retreat, recuperate, and self-exile from a fraught situation?

Getting the Knight of Swords for ✨me✨ also feels strange, almost ominous, but not inaccurate.

Argh why is Justice a receding influence argh

Seriously though: the ONE TIME I actually want to have the fight, I maybe SHOULDN’T? 🤔

Moving on, I think I am probably surrounded by Pages of Cups. That resonates, as they say.

Man. This one has me all agitated! Which, good, I guess

Shoutouts to @MaryHenry and @MattyCakes for helping me think through some specifics. (This is about a work situation, lol)
Work situation: fraught! Unnerving in the extreme. After assessing the vibe, I did end up requesting the mic (…twice) at this morning’s all-hands. It went okay I think!
@Sadsquatch absolutely ✊😎 keeping calm help's
