This will as explained above be a general reading this time. minus anything which
directly predicts something concerning your closest relationship Of course all of the remaining aspects of your life as are in some way
indirectly related to how well or otherwise your marriage is going. The importance of your marriage to what makes you the woman whom you are cannot either be ignored or denied. The current status of your marriage colours or strongly influences the rest of your life?
So this month's reading will mainly be about the young girl whom you still are deep inside (your hopes and dreams and ambitions for the future many of which have never been expressed), long before you first laid eyes on your present husband.
A large proportion of these hopes, dreams and ambitions have been sacrificed because you loved him, but that does not mean that they have simply disappeared in the meantime. What you would have been like if you had never married him is an unanswerable question, but the intention of this reading is to provide you with some clues or pointers to what you would have been like if you had remained single.
The psychologists call it our
INNER CHILD. It is the innocent, pure, playful and spontaneous part of us which we must never lose, but which must for us to function effectively and healthily in our society learn to accept that it cannot always have everything which it feels that it wants, exactly when it wants them.
Part of the growing up or maturing process is learning to find the right balance between letting our inner child get everything that it wants, and allowing it to get nothing that it wants. It needs to realize that it may have to wait for a time in order to get its needs satisfied, but it cannot and should not wait be made to indefinitely, or there could be serious problems for your whole personality of which your inner child is only a part, further down the road.
Your reading is effectively telling me that for your marriage to continue to move forwards, at least some of your inner child's most important needs must be satisfied during the next six months or so commonly believed to be covered by it. Basically while you are still working on your marriage you are being encouraged at the same time to reclaim the joyous, playful, spontaneous girl you once were and still are under the extra layers of you now being an adult, with adult needs and adult responsibilities.
The reading is unfortunately unable to clearly identify how you should best reclaim your inner child's nature, as this is a highly individual and personal matter, and you are the only person in the end who is qualified to make such a judgement. Try to think back to when you were still a child. What made you feel most happy, content and care free? What activity or activities kept your hopes, dreams and ambitions for when you grew up alive?
What was it most in your childhood which stopped you from giving up completely on your hopes, dreams and ambitions, recognizing that this is far from being a perfect world and that therefore 100% of any person's hopes, dreams and ambitions will never be satisfied in any single lifetime? The idea is to satisfy at least some of the most important and urgent needs, while still continuing to act as an adult in an adult world.
And the biggest question of all which needs to be answered is with reference to precisely how this formidable task can be accomplished in the shortest possible period of time, and without you having to do anything which is too extreme which could potentially make your marriage unworkable and unrecoverable.
The Tarot card called
THE EMPEROR which was the first one I drew on your behalf does not always necessarily need to represent a man. It can equally as is also the case with a KING, represent those aspects of a woman's personality which are commonly thought of as being male or masculine instead of being the female or feminine type.
The Emperor is the Who's the boss in your life card. Which person has most control or influence over what you are allowed to do or not do? Or even more importantly, who do you feel is the boss in your life as the two may be different? Often who we feel is the boss and who in reality has greatest control and influence in our lives are two different people.
To some degree when a woman marries she she accepts that her husband may have strengths and abilities which make him better qualified in certain areas, while she is better qualified to act and advise in others. Sometimes the situation requires that their roles may be temporarily for convenience reversed, but on average there are some areas which are traditionally male, and those which are traditionally female oriented.
Who do you think has most control or influence over what you decide to do and what you actually do between you and your husband? Because your reading is telling me that you have far more control and influence over these things, when compared to what you may currently imagine.
It is not saying that you need to openly rebel and get into a power struggle with your partner (one which BTW I feel that you would never win under his terms), but it is urging you to be more assertive or stand up for your own rights without being overly aggressive and asking for trouble.
Both of these being traditionally viewed as male aspects of a personality.
Getting the balance just right between being more assertive but not simultaneously getting nasty with him and looking for a fight is precisely what I sense is the main reason for this particular card featuring in this month's general reading. Essentially during the next six months and beyond you will be presented with one or more valuable learning opportunities with the healing intention to help you to develop and further refine that balancing skill between you developing greater assertiveness on one hand, and open aggression or out and out warfare with your hubby.
How well you go at developing this skill will largely determine where your marriage is going from here. Work upon restoring the balance between being more assertive and less aggressive, but remember to put some time aside each and every day to reclaim the hopes, dreams and ambitions which are still contained within your own inner child.
All work and no play could quickly and easily make my best friend Mjean a dull, boring, discontented and unfulfilled lady, with an inner child that is screaming to be heard above the noise of everyday life and get some of her own needs met for a change? The educational purpose of this reading is to help you listen more regularly to and act upon your inner child's hopes, dreams and ambitions in a mainly non aggressive manner.
Never easy at anytime for anyone, but made even more difficult for you because of your spouse's medical condition!
Namaste,
EoT
