For the purposes of this reading and answering the above question I am this time for a change using the Magical Mermaids and Dolphins Tarot pack of cards designed by Doreen Virtue. I affectionately refer to them as my MAD cards, but the insights which they offer are often anything but crazy to the person who made the request.
The first drawn card which automatically becomes the focus or theme card for this reading was
Accept Heaven's Help, on which is printed the following phrase.
"You've prayed for help, so get out of the way and let heaven help you"
This suggests to me that you are one of those people who is willing to selflessly give to others when at times they would be far better off learning to do things for themselves and to always sacrifice your own equally important needs to help others to get their needs met. It is also a card which is believed to best represent a person who is often unwilling to ask for help from others if and when it is needed.
Possibly this is because you may see this as a sign of weakness, and asking for assistance from people who unlike yourself have both the knowledge and skills to get the job done faster and more effectively may be seen as a loss of independence. Increased self independence is something which you constantly look for and value above many other things in your life when you feel that you have got it.
The reasons for you having to learn the lesson that no man or woman is unto themselves an island or entirely independent of others and that we are all here to help each other in our own ways may either be found earlier in your current lifetime, or failing that in one or more past life experiences where this important lesson was not learned.
You are according to this reading one of those highly practical no nonsense type of women who takes an active role in overcoming her life's many challenges and whom takes great personal pride in feeling able to manage even the most complex and frustrating problems entirely by yourself, and effectively by yesterday.
It feels good for one's sense of self confidence and self respect to do whatever you can to help yourself (something which you have always tried your best to do, even in adverse situations which could have easily defeated a lesser person), but at some point we must recognize with humility that we have certain limitations to deal with, and that no matter how hard and long we will try to overcome our difficulties at some stage there is a very good chance we will need outside help from other people, or with the kingdom of heaven we are told existing within us instead of somewhere high up above us inside help from our own Higher Self - that small spark of God which is believed to be experiencing everything which it means to be human through us.
One of the highest laws of the Universe is that if we really want or need something or someone to help us, we must first ask. It does not necessarily mean that we will get everything which we ask for (as what we think that we want is frequently not what we most need at the time), but unless you take the time to put in your request for assistance the chances of you getting the help that you need is either much less than if you had or zero.
They say that heaven helps those of us who first do what we are able to help ourselves, so on that score alone you are more than half way there towards progressively overcoming your emotional difficulties during the next six months. But in order to bridge the gap between what you are able to do by yourself and all which needs to be done you are being encouraged to seek the help of your Higher Power, as well as obtaining it from other people who are currently living on Earth.
And once your request for help has been received and found to be consistent with your spiritual and other important needs and lessons, your main role is then to get out of your own way and allow it to happen. Let heaven's help take you the rest of the way to eventually overcoming many of your emotional difficulties, once you have done what you are reasonably able with the assistance of others to help yourself. Be aware that Heaven's help often arrives in concealed ways and through other people, when we least expect it (but when we most need it).
Love, Light and Healing,
EoT
