Why Do I Do This Again?

Sometimes I think I should stop reading for myself in any way that talks about what’s coming up for me. It’s my custom to do a certain “what’s ahead for this coming month” reading, and sometimes I wish I hadn’t done it.

How should I react when the cards are giving me the detailed, specific impression that June is going to suck and how it’s going to suck? How does this help me? Won’t it just send me into the month feeling pessimistic and dreading bad stuff?

If I work from the premise that whatever universal, unconscious force guiding my hands when they choose the cards generally has my greatest possible good in mind, then I might try to think the cards are trying to help me by getting me ready and not letting me be blindsided.

The details of this reading clearly call me to be attentive to certain things, not run from certain things…but there’s still the feeling that this won’t make it an easy or happy month, it’ll just let me get through it with minimum “making it worse.”

Can I accept this reading with an open heart?

Finding hope, meaning and joy in my process means learning to judge myself and my life by a very different set of criteria from the ones I was taught to use. I connect with the world by writing, exploring creative work such as Tarot, and keeping an open mind to new tasks. I hope something I do will help someone out there feel less alone!
