The Emperor; Justice; 10/wands (R)
There's an individual, or there's a set of circumstances, overwhelming your life right now. My first glance at this card showed me Justice as the Knight of Swords, meaning you have to find your voice and the courage to use it to regain control of a situation, or a person who has totally broken boundaries and in a major way. What an impact this has had on your life, possibly for several years. Spirit shows us that this has been an overwhelming experience for you, and that it's negatively affected your self-confidence, your ego, and your ability to speak up and assert yourself throughout most areas of life -- within romantic relationships, family relationships, as well as in a plethora of other personal and professional settings.
Spirit also tells us that when you find your voice and the courage to use it, you will almost immediately feel a lifting of weight from your shoulders. "Burdens be gone", Spirit says.
ace/wands (R); The Tower; 5/swords (R)
Someone has been working very hard towards a financial goal, or a business opportunity, only to have had something totally out of the blue come along and brutally smash the process. This fiasco may have led to some unexpected fallout among a group of people, and now you may find yourself gingerly picking up the pieces and taking stock of the final results.
The good news is that you were not left completely empty-handed, but it's back to the drawing board. Hopefully you will have a whole new perspective from this failed experience, and you will put your knowledge to good use, so next time -- expect a postive outcome.
Please remember, these are general readings done with no one particular individual in mind. This reading may resonate with a wide variety of people in various phases of life and under uniquely personal circumstances.
I also wanted to note that I no longer give personal readings for individuals, and that all of these general readings, both at The Mystic Crone and at Phoenix Rising, are FREE readings, written and recorded on a whim when the urge strikes me.
If you enjoy these readings and videos, I would appreciate it if you would "like" and "subscribe" at YouTube. I have to say that it's kind of nice to get some sort of feedback for the effort I put into creating them. It lets me know I'm doing a good job!
