Hi Starlight, here's your reading. I'd appreciate feedback on whether you find that this applies to you!

 

What I need to heal in 2019 and why? 3 WANDS - 10 CUPS

 

Something in your relationship with future needs to change. You may be too optimistic, or lacking in faith towards what the future will bring. You may have too many plans and expectations, or you're not trusting in your skills to deliver these plans. Or, you're living the future in your head, not focusing on today and this moment. Overall you seem like a person who has or could have a very exuberant, bright attitude towards future, but you may be a bit too buoyant, not taking practical and pragmatic steps to actually achieve the future you want. This healing is required so that you can fully enjoy all the opportunities and benefits available to you in the future - just remember to not indulge too early, before you've put in the hard yards.

 

What are the best steps to take to heal? ACE OF PENTACLES RX - KING OF CUPS RX

 

It appears that you could be a bit more careful with spending: money, resources, time. Perhaps you like to pamper yourself or are after life's little luxuries, but for better outcomes in long term it's sometimes good to keep the purse strings tight and save what you have. Or, you may be spending on someone else who's not reciprocating, when it would be better to keep your resources tighter to yourself. Also, you may be relying on some other person quite a bit or perhaps think someone else could solve your problems; a partner, a love interest, a parent, a good caring friend. However, everything we do must start from ourselves. Other people can never fulfil all our needs. For example finding love will not be the fix-all and relationships require work, happily ever after only exist in fairytales unfortunately.

 

What are the most likely obstacles for my healing? 10 SWORDS - FOOL

 

The defeatist attitude is by far your greatest obstacle. Life is not black and white, all or nothing, so there's no need to stress or despair if things don't go your way or if your plans and dreams don't materialise as you'd like to. Sometimes things take longer, or manifest in a quite different manner you would have thought or liked, but it may still be for the best. Also, you may be a bit too eager to start new things, before you're ready - you need to do some preparation work for any life change or fulfilling a plan. Jumping headlong or too early may just lead to a spectacular failure. If you have great plans for the future, start preparing now: learn, study, find out information you need to succeed. If you don't have plans, now is the most auspicious time to make some.

 

How will my life be different after I heal? 8 CUPS - THE WORLD - KNIGHT OF CUPS

 

It seems you'll be finally able to walk away from some emotional baggage you've carried for a long time, perhaps not even realising you're holding on to a grudge or disappointments. You'll feel whole and free, successful; like you're finally ready to take off and start a brand new chapter in your life. What's gone is gone, the past is the past, and there's no need to look back in anger. You'll be able to move on, feeling emotionally fresh, ready for new experiences, including love and romance, and your relationships with old or new connections can be far more fulfilling and genuine.

 

I hope this gives you food for thought!

Hi mesmericsiren, here's your reading for 2019. I'd love to hear what you think of it!

 

What I need to heal in 2019 and why? HIEROPHANT - PAGE OF CUPS RX

 

Hmm, your relationship with authorities needs some overhaul. You may feel you live in a very rigid world where someone else is dictating how you should behave, think and act; or, you wish to be some kind of authority, such as a teacher or religious leader or keeper of tradition. You may have found earlier in your life that authorities, rules and traditions bring peace and order, but now you've started to 'outgrow' that because it's suppressing your emotional expression and freedom of thought. You seem quite keen to develop your own values based on your feelings and intuition and that's the reason why it is a good and needed idea to challenge some of the teachings, traditions and authority figures you currently have in your life, even if the authority figure is you yourself.

 

What are the best steps to take to heal? 8 CUPS - 6 WANDS RX

 

You may need to cut ties with people or past events that at one time meant a lot to you, but that don't serve you anymore. You don't need to hang on to events or people just because they've been in your life for a long time; it's completely ok and healthy to re-evaluate who you are, what you want, where you want to be, and make amends and adjustments accordingly. Walking away or closing a chapter are not 'losing' or 'giving up', they are essential steps in productive, expansive and happy life. You don't need anybody's approval or recognition to make up your own mind and you don't need to be praised by anyone to know you're doing the right thing or succeeding on your own life journey. Nobody else but you can tell whether you're doing well and feeling fulfilled - trust your own inner voice and intuitive feelings about what direction your life should take.

 

What are the most likely obstacles for my healing? 7 PENTACLES RX - TEMPERANCE RX

 

It seems you'll encounter a double whammy: your own impatience and the fact that your views and outsiders' views will not align. This is quite understandable if you start challenging, questioning or re-thinking teachings or traditions you've so far taken for granted or at least as things that make sense. People or society around you won't necessarily understand or support you in your quest to find your own values and lifestyle, and you may feel there's no point, it's too hard work or it takes too long to figure things out. Just try to grow your patience; growth means maturing and maturing means you're becoming more fully yourself, a stronger soul.

How will my life be different after I heal? PAGE OF SWORDS RX - 2 CUPS RX - 3 PENTACLES RX

 

You'll feel your mind is freer to explore all kinds of new ideas, not just those accepted or expected by the authorities you've had in your life so far (religious, academic, teachers and gatekeepers including your parents and elders). You'll eventually meet like-minded people you'll connect with beautifully and want to cooperate with and work together towards common goals. It seems even love and romance are possible on this path, the very least you'll meet some great people you recognise as your tribe, your emotional and mental kin. This process will take time, though, as your soul searching may be slow and you might not instantly know what direction to take - hence the warning about impatience as an obstacle! Best of luck on your journey :)

I think you're spot on with regards to changing my relationship with the future. I don't really think too much about it at all, I'm pretty much caught up in the day to day with not much mental energy left over for thinking more long term. :)

 

I like the part about not indulging too early before I've actually laid down tracks.

Yes, definitely the spending is something I need to get in hand. I'll be really frugal for AGES and then after a few months, I'll splurge a bit. There really isn't a sense of balance there. My relationship with money could definitely be better and healthier. I feel guilty if I spend on myself, but books are my downfall...

Yes to the eager to start new things before I'm ready - I get excited about something and want to dive straight in before I've really laid the foundation to support myself while doing it. And then things don't work out well and people get stressed.

 

I really do need to make better plans and prepare the groundwork first and this is part of what I'm hoping to achieve with Depth Year - not skimming the surface and looking at the most obvious things that need doing, but going deeper and laying proper foundations. Thank you for bringing this to my attention in a clear way!

 

I'm not sure I would describe myself as defeatist - I'll have to think a bit about that - but I am very hard on myself if I feel I've done poorer than I expect of myself. And the more one fails at something, the more one's sense of self-worth suffers. Perhaps that's where the sense of defeatism comes in?

 

I'm thinking in particular of NaNoWriMo - I dive in with enthusiasm and exuberance without really thinking about the logistics to make it work - very much like the Fool in his unwise aspect.

Oh this sounds so promising. I definitely have high hopes for this year!! :D I'm hoping that some of the ideas and plans I have for 2019 will help with productivity and progress.

 

I hope this gives you food for thought!

 

Yes, indeed! I am going to pay particular attention to the areas that you've outlined above and make provision for them in my plans for Depth Year. I really like where the outcome will lead - so I'll do what needs to be done as best I can to help me get there. :)

 

Thank you so much, Saskia[/member]. This is a great reading - it isn't afraid to look at challenges and sore spots and yet it ends on a bright note. Wonderful!

 

Is there anything else I can offer as feedback or does this help? Thank you again, Saskia. This is much appreciated.  :thumbsup:

[Saskia]

– Hi Saskia, thank you so much for reading for me and I do apologise for the long wait for my feedback. After I returned from my travels, I was told about my redundancy so I have been trying to figure things out and sort through that. In any case, I do appreciate your time and patience and thank you once again

Hmm, your relationship with authorities needs some overhaul. You may feel you live in a very rigid world where someone else is dictating how you should behave, think and act; or, you wish to be some kind of authority, such as a teacher or religious leader or keeper of tradition.

I have never really been one to challenge authority so much because I never really felt like I have ever been overburdened or oppressed by them. I do generally like things more structured, so perhaps that is why I feel a bit more secure with keeping things the way they are, if it isn’t broken, then leave things be. I wouldn’t consider myself super rigid, I do enjoy fluidity but within boundaries and reason. If that makes sense

You may have found earlier in your life that authorities, rules and traditions bring peace and order, but now you've started to 'outgrow' that because it's suppressing your emotional expression and freedom of thought.

Yes, very much so, this resonates with me because while I like structure and order, I am governed more so by my feelings, so sometimes it can be a bit of a struggle for me, when it comes to decision making etc because while I like order, structure, logic and planning, I tend to ever really do or decide on things if it ‘feels’ right. Of late, I tend to feel a little stifled particularly with work and life in general because I am feeling a lack of direction  

You seem quite keen to develop your own values based on your feelings and intuition and that's the reason why it is a good and needed idea to challenge some of the teachings, traditions and authority figures you currently have in your life, even if the authority figure is you yourself.

This is really interesting to me, I never kind of looked at myself as an authority figure so it is funny how you mention that. I am always striving to learn and I enjoy little challenges and definitely my values are very much fixed on my intuition and my sense of what is right and wrong. I feel very restless and troubled when I feel things are unfair or when I am not emotionally fulfilled, this applies to all areas of life really, work, friends, family. I do feel 2019 is a year of change for me, I had felt that towards the end of 2018, but because I am a creature of habit, I find it hard to sort of push myself of the edge to act, so to speak. So this redundancy that suddenly happens, I feel if I look at it on a more positive light, is the universe’s way of telling me, get off your butt. Lol

You may need to cut ties with people or past events that at one time meant a lot to you, but that don't serve you anymore. You don't need to hang on to events or people just because they've been in your life for a long time;

I tend naturally to feel attached to people, event and things. I always remember how I feel towards something, someone or what happened. That is definitely true and I struggle to let things go, not super sure why to be honest, just I feel the stronger the attachment the more of a void I feel. It’s the finite actions that I find difficult to deal with.

it's completely ok and healthy to re-evaluate who you are, what you want, where you want to be, and make amends and adjustments accordingly. Walking away or closing a chapter are not 'losing' or 'giving up', they are essential steps in productive, expansive and happy life. You don't need anybody's approval or recognition to make up your own mind and you don't need to be praised by anyone to know you're doing the right thing or succeeding on your own life journey. Nobody else but you can tell whether you're doing well and feeling fulfilled - trust your own inner voice and intuitive feelings about what direction your life should take.

I value and appreciate this advice. I never really seek approval from anyone but I do tend to feel sometimes underwhelmed by my own successes or maybe by my lack of concrete direction. I think living day to day has served me for the most part but looking back, sometimes it does feel a little void, like maybe I should have, could have done more. But things always make more sense in hindsight, so maybe 2019 is definitely a year for me to evaluate what makes me happy or what really is important. I struggle with deciding at the moment whether I should move back to be with family or to stay where I am and figure things out. My parents are getting older so a part of me does feel like I should be there with them but the other part of me feels like it would be a mistake to move back without a plan, because I will just end up regretting it.

Just try to grow your patience; growth means maturing and maturing means you're becoming more fully yourself, a stronger soul.

I feel like this speaks quite directly to the internal turmoil I’m feeling when it comes to this move to be with family. I feel in some way I should do the right thing and move back to be with them because I love them to bits but a part of me also feels like what if I move back and I hate it. I will end up just arguing because I am frustrated and then regret the move altogether. They want me to move back and I do too but theres a niggling voice that always keeps stopping me from biting the bullet. Goodness, the more I read your words and processing how I feel, the more it makes sense to me, that this really is how I am feeling. Very much so a conflict of my values (filial piety and closeness to my mother and knowing she wants me close) against the lifestyle that I value and the independence that I feel is important to me. And this redundancy that is kicking my butt because it makes it harder to stay strong and stay on my own without a job.

I do sincerely hope so, and I do really want to stay strong and find my path, for lack of a better word. I’m not unhappy with how things are but I do feel I would be happier if I had some direction or at least rediscover what it is that makes me happy again. I want to be able to answer that question wholeheartedly and with conviction, something which I find hard to do now, if anyone were to ever ask me that question.

 

Sorry for the rant feedback, I was just thinking as I was reading your advice and processing it at the same time. It really resonated with me and I truly want to tahnk you for your advice. Big hugs and many thanks for your patience also while waiting for me to come back to you. Have a lovely 2019 ahead <3
