This is a reading on your relationships -- describing the major theme of your association with other people right now. This includes partners, friends, parents, children, other family members, and all others who are contained in the relationships that have your attention now.
You feel in control of life around you. You see clearly ... with understanding and wisdom. This marks an important change in consciousness, viewpoint, or philosophy. It is a time of enlightenment and restored peace and harmony.
It may also accompany a change of attitude, the ability to see things in a more positive light. You solve your problems by thinking about them differently ... and more rationally. You recognize this peaceful oasis for what it is -- and work with its benefits openly and directly.
You are in a situation that contains considerable dishonesty in what you say, think, believe ... or in what you are being told. The information you are working with is unreliable ... possibly by "putting a better face" on rather unpleasant facts. This is an energy of self-sabotage, of being complicit in your own undoing, of letting yourself be talked into something when you know better -- by accepting excuses, rationalizations, and pretty cover stories. You may even be making these up and telling them to yourself. You may learn in time you have been your own worst enemy by adopting this strategy.
This card depicts reaping the consequences of past bad actions, lies -- perhaps ones you have told yourself or lulled yourself into believing, not paying close attention to what really matters, making decisions based on wishful thinking or deceitful information, weaseling, and either trying to get away with something ... or letting somebody else get away with something -- again, when you really know better than to trust what is happening here.
This is literally an energy of theft and deception. You ... or someone else ... is trying to gain something you have not earned (which could be money, possessions, position, status, regard, or "credit" for something that doesn't really belong to you), are using sweet-talk and fabrications to support your claim, or are playing head games and trying to pull a fast one. Something about the way you think about, work with, and report this situation needs to be corrected -- and fast.
You are in a necessary time of recovery -- recuperating from the stress of what you've been through. You will need to find the courage to start again after a time of defeat and disappointment.
Your current situation may not have worked out as you hoped. You may have invested a lot more into it than it paid you back. Or the results themselves may offer recovery from some past experience whose connections to the present are not obvious. However, you still need to give yourself this chance to heal in order to reclaim your personal and moral center.
You have come through a crisis of turmoil and upset ... and now you need to leave a bad situation behind. Still you may have to carry a lingering pain and deal with a crisis of faith when all the dust here settles.
You may not feel you are can do much about these events ... to correct or compensate for their challenges -- but at least you have a clear vision of just how serious, depleting, and detrimental these experiences have been for you ... and how extensive the work will be when finally you do pull things together and start over.
This recovery has considerable impact on your thinking and choices at the moment -- and it has your attention now, in spades.
You are involved in experiences that include serious quarrelling, anxiety, and deep philosophical disagreement. This is an extremely disagreeable situation, containing, as it does, elements of defeat, unfairness, failure, slander, cruelty, cowardliness, and malice. You may feel you have been treated unfairly ... or realize that you have done so to others. (Possibly both.)
This is a situation of insensitivity, fear, the realization that you are not following your conscience -- if you pause long enough to rationally consider what is happening here. You are pushing an issue ... or using force ... to no good avail, often to avoid changing your mind about something dear or important to you. Or you are feeling coerced and pressured to change your opinions ... or surrender your ideas ... by circumstances or another person.
This is an energy of victimization, and because energy is always a two way street, you may be either the victim, the perpetrator, or quite likely ... both. You may have to cope with feelings of revenge, the consequences of your self-defeating actions, or the consequences of ruthless responses.
Even "winning" here gains you nothing but an empty victory. You are likely locked into circumstances which involve mind games, game-playing, scoring points, getting even, and working to get "one up" on someone else -- and vice versa. You need desperately to change your thinking.
You may not see a good way out of this situation ... or how to compensate well for the considerable problems this is causing you, but at least at this point, you understand the seriousness of these complications and are working directly and consciously to see what can be done with them.
You are in a situation that is sterile and unsatisfying. These are circumstances where you -- or someone influential in your situation -- is frittering away resources, wasting energy, and courting a whole roster of problems -- physical, financial, emotional, psychological. This situation contains a serious lack of love and support. You may feel rejected, depressed, deprived, and unable to muster the energy to start anything new.
This energy describes a lack of productivity, chaotic circumstances, feelings of emptiness and withdrawal, considerable pain, and the failure to use your creative talents to bring about the desired and necessary changes. You may, however, be in denial about the seriousness of this dilemma. You may feel there isn't much you can to do compensate for or correct the situation. You may not realize that this energy is as prominent as it is. So far, your tactics to resolve this better are ineffective.
Meanwhile, you'll have to cope with a period of "not accomplishing anything constructive," of facing incompetence -- your own or that of others, of being "unprepared" for the problems you're facing, and of trying to reorient your values toward "achieving something worthwhile and profitable" again.
Ultimately, you are heading for a resolution that is unfair, unbalanced, unjust. Someone may treat you unfairly. You may arrange to be unfair to yourself in order to be fair to somebody else. Possibly you will take advantage of a loophole that gets you better arrangements here than you really deserve -- or someone pulls this on you. It may take several efforts to gain closure on this matter, or it may be there simply is no way to be fair to all concerned.
