Context
Welcome to Day 077!
Today is going to have a very short context with a brief analysis. One of the disadvantages of posting daily is that life can interfere with routine. Yesterday and last night were spent sitting at the computer and the awkward ankle healing angle. I awoke to a headache which saw me out of action for most of the day.
Concentrating on writing the blog tonight is quite difficult, I seem to need a microsleep between sentences.
My thoughts for today included missing exercise and yoga particularly when I have a long day at the screen.
Anyway, let’s see what the cards have to say!
Today's Cards
The Cards - Analysis
There were three cards that made a transition from yesterday to today. They were: The Fool, Aloneness and Existence. The Fool moved from the Now position to the Goal position. Aloneness sat in the Influence position yesterday and today sits in the Future Energy spot. Existence went from the Feelings/ Immediate Future position to Others’ Views.
So, is there any meaning to the transitions or are they simply the same cards not relevant to the position before? Since the cards (me) knows that the cards are being done daily there might very well be a link.
Aloneness makes sense, it was the Influence, and the Influence became the Future Energy. Wanting space, I created an opportunity to get space – the headache.
Yesterday’s The Fool in the Now became the Goal without the influence of Aloneness. It sits separately as an idea. It may simply have been a way to highlight the foolishness of not taking regular stand breaks, which in turn gave me the space I needed.
The Now of Completion reflects a positive vibration of finally putting the last piece into the puzzle that has been outstanding for some time. This is true, yesterday I may have finally handed over a project without knowledge gaps.
There is, of course, one catch Influencing the transition and it requires Compromise. It’s the gap of ownership of the global component. With reshuffling in the organisation, the skills that were once there to handle this have moved. Until I find said new home, the global components will be managed by me – and I will rope in whoever is needed to resolve any issue on that level.
Although you’re not aware that this project has been in the transition stage for quite some time, in order for support to be able to support, I needed to have a Goal that involved taking a leap of faith. This meant moving the bulk of the support across but Compromising on ownership – at the moment a contentious issue.
In the Distant Past, this has involved Creativity which has led to and met more Recently with Success (Recent Past).
This Success will provide me with the space for Aloneness.
The Feelings yesterday was that by tuning into the universe, I appreciated my Existence and uniqueness. Today, apparently Other’s Views are picking up on the Feeling. While for me the feeling of Existence has shifted to include Possibilities for Completion.
Hopes & Fears stem from Trust. In this circumstance, it’s in trusting the romantic end. The Trust card echoes the Goal card of The Fool, in that both require a leap of faith. The Fear is in taking that leap and not having anything safe below you.
Finally, the Outcome card has the Fighting card. Given the mental state and the lack of sleep, there is a lot of inner fighting to not be rude or unthinkingly disrespectful. Don’t worry, at present, its minimal impact 🙂.
