Being part of a con game
Something in your life is being influenced by flagrant dishonesty and emotional manipulation. Someone may be using your regard for him or your feelings for your relationship with him to grossly unfair advantage. The resources he may be commandeering with this weasely behavior include your time, your energy, your money, your caring concern, your love, and your material and physical possessions.
Often the "message" you are receiving from this person is along the lines of ... "If you really loved me," or "If you were really my friend," or "How can you think of hurting my feelings?" or "If you confront me on my dishonesty, I'll throw a tantrum."
The even less attractive possibility of this card in this position suggests you may be treating someone else this way. Whatever the case ... it's time for some new ground rules, for everybody's sake.
An extra piece of advice:
Knowing how you can be "played," conned, or manipulated is your best defense against unscrupulous tactics ... no matter who is trying to use them.

While men represent powerful activity as assertion and aggression, women in contrast portray acts of nurturance as acts of strength.

Healing
In the next few days, you may find yourself dealing with loss, disappointment, grief, and sadness -- but in a positive, healing way. Almost certainly the issue you are processing is "old news," and the information you will receive is evidence that you are healing, stronger, and better able to manage your life now, less impeded by past injuries than has been the case for a while.
You may also go through a period of reassessment, examination, and reverie regarding a time of injury and loss, and in doing so discover the strengths you gained and the important things you learned from the experience. It may not yet be enough to convince you the original experience was "worth it" ... and, in fact, that may never happen. But this is one way you can find "meaning" in something dreadful. And knowing there was meaning to something does make it more bearable. What you are really seeking is more comfort ... and by looking for that, you're liable to find it.
An additional thought to ponder:
Just as times for physical recuperation vary, so do periods of emotional recovery. The mind and heart have their own wisdom and their own cycle of change in such an experience, and while you can support and encourage emotional restoration -- just as you can physical healing -- you would be wise to honor this simple, but often ignored, fact of life.
Depending on the severity of a deep loss or emotional trauma, it can take a minimum of two years to return to "normal." Sometimes it takes longer. Sometimes, of course, you will never be completely "normal" again. But telling yourself to just "get over it" and "forget" is as futile, cruel, and potentially crippling as telling your broken ankle to "get it together" and then walking on it anyway ... as if nothing ever happened.

In the hour of adversity be not without hope
For crystal rain falls from black clouds.

Confusion
You may find yourself caught in a welter of indecision, confusion, stagnation, and perhaps "excuses" ... all of which are crowding out the clarity of truth you need to hone in on. Don't make choices in haste or under pressure. Ground yourself. Ask sincerely and directly for the answers you want, and then listen quietly while these make themselves known to you.
You may need more information about an important decision ... and postponing action until you have the facts might be your wisest option. Alternatively, you may not know exactly what you want ... or the right course to follow -- which needs a different sort of remedy. Stepping back, re-examining your problem, and clarifying your priorities are all indicated there.
On a more sinister note, this card can indicate you are being misled -- either with incorrect information or by someone who is deliberately deceiving you or keeping you in the dark. Also, you may need to scrutinize your own honesty and be sure you are asking clearly for what you want -- not sneaking around looking for some backdoor means to get your own way.
An additional thought to ponder:
The powerful creative energy of this card is trapped in some very twisted and convoluted coils at the moment. Your job now is to keep this fact in mind ... and do what you must to straighten it out.

The first requisite for success is the ability to apply your physical and mental energies to one problem incessantly without growing weary.
