Hi Dhav,
Would what's up for you during the next six months do, as that is the period of time generally thought to be covered by a reading of the type given here?
Calm is good, but describing your life as stagnant is only largely a matter of perspective, and if it were true then it would not be so good.
The
Ace of Wands which is your focus card for this month's general reading is above all an action one, where there is enormous potential for significant spiritual growth and development on your part if you are willing to be patient long enough to see the many positive benefits of the sacrifices you have made in the past to be able to get to this point in time with both your peace of mind and sense of humour still relatively intact.
But your energy and enthusiasm to get moving once again is unfortunately not matched by a real sense of direction, and you may therefore feel more than a little lost and as if the rest of the world is passing you by. You may even feel as though you are an outside observer of your life, instead of being mainly in the driver's seat (as total control over all factors at all times is a complete fallacy and is consequently not to be found on this planet).
Now the Ace of Wands is basically saying to me that your feelings are not accurately reflecting the truth of your situation at the present moment. It is not so much that your instincts are actually lying to you as such and can therefore not be trusted, but it is more that you are only seeing a small part of the complete picture at any one time.
Rather than stagnating you are in a temporary resting phase which has been made necessary because your body, mind and spirit have become exhausted over the last few months as you have struggled with some personal and/or family issues during that time which have pushed your coping mechanisms to their limit. If you continued at this rate of knots without having some well deserved and long overdue R&R (rest and recreation) with the purpose to allow you to recharge your spiritual batteries, this would be I feel be a recipe for disaster of major proportions.
The Ace of any of the four Tarot suits normally is interpreted to mean that a new phase of your life is about to begin (or has just begun), but in your case much of the activity is happening effectively behind the scenes where you may not be aware that it is happening at all. So your feelings are in a way telling you part of the truth, which is that you are not moving at anywhere near the speed you were only weeks before this, but to say that nothing is happening (stagnation) is just not consistent with this hidden reality that there is an incredible amount of inner work going on just below the surface of your mind or awareness, with the intention to better prepare you for whatever is yet to come.
The Ace of Wands goes on to say that much of this change I have been talking about in your life so far is related either directly or indirectly to your spiritual and/or religious beliefs. People often come to sites such as this one because they can no longer accommodate or make any reasonable sense of conventional religious teachings and practices, and are disillusioned enough by this to spark what amounts to a type of crisis where each of their beliefs about God and how the world and the other people living in it are relevant to one's life are closely examined one at a time, and when they no longer seem consistent with what we see before us then something usually has to give.
Either we need to modify or even totally throw out some of these beliefs which are not only of little further use to us, but may also be holding us back from being the best possible person we have come here to be. You are I feel based on this reading about 99% though the main crisis in your core spiritual beliefs, but there is considerable work still to be done with some of the finer details during the next six months.
For the sake of completeness, I must mention that the Ace of Wands is specifically associated by many readers with the season of Summer, and the compass direction of South. I will leave it up to you to determine whether this is relevant or even worth mentioning in your case, but during the Summer watch out for something or someone coming from a Southerly direction, relative to where you are currently living.
Whatever or whoever this might be, I feel that it is going to have a large impact on your longer term outlook for the next few years. Whether you will see this impact as being mainly positive or negative in your life overall, will once again depend largely on your personal point of view. If you always prefer calm over change, it will not be such good news to you. We each need both periods of relative calm and change at times in our lives, in roughly equal amounts. At present calm is out of necessity taking a higher priority.
Over the next few months when you are up to your elbows in rapid change (this is what I see as being up for you during the next six months), you will I think regret not relaxing and having taken maximum advantage of this resting period you are going through now while you still had the opportunity to enjoy it. So essentially make the most of your temporary resting period now, as it is not destined to last much longer. Getting yourself over-anxious that nothing much appears to be happening will only defeat the purpose of this current life force recharging exercise you are undergoing?
For the immediate future, sit back, relax and enjoy the ride, as once things get back to their previous high rate of activity there will be very little time for you to let the rest of the world temporarily pass by you, and to allow you enough time to smell the flowers.
Be kinder to yourself and learn more patience,
