I am running my business from past 5 years. Things have been tough almost all the while. There are times when all hope seems lost, probably current time is such. Motivation is at all time low. Don't know if destiny holds for me to be a struggler all through, or there are bright times in future.

A reading about business prospects and results for next 3 months in specific, and overall in general will be very helpful.

I don't mind harsh and true assessment, infact it is better than sugar-coated false hopes. Atleast, it stirs you up and prepares you harder for the battle ahead.

Thanks.

Hi I have chosen to use the Tarot Cross and my Medieval deck for your reading The cards are place in the form of a cross. +


Centre - You, the centre of the problem, The Hermit
Covers - What covers or surrounds the situation, Force
Crosses - What crosses or causes strife , Death
Above - What your conscious mind thinks, Two of Wands
Below - What lies in your sub-conscious, Ace of Swords
Behind - What is the background, Five of Cups
Before - What lies in front of this situation, Five of Swords

At first glance we have three majors, all in the centre surrounding you, two Swords, one Wand, one Cups and no Pentacles, the suit of finance, so the problem or rather the information this reading is giving does not relate to finances or possessions, more strife and worries and arguments of the spoken word.

Centre - You, the centre of the problem, The Hermit.

You are alone at the moment, making decisions with the aid of a light, you are looking to the past to help you out here, things were alright before so what did you do wrong to cause this situation? You must not beat yourself up, use your inner wisdom to help sort things out in a detached and calm manner, take yourself out of the picture and now look at things without emotion or worry. You may see something completely different.

Covers - What covers or surrounds the situation, Force.

There was a time when you seemed to be able to do anything easily, no force was necessary, no harsh words or threats, things just fell into place when wanted. Now you are feeling threatened and unsure what to do next. Do not allow yourself to be forced into anything, stay strong inside and try not to worry about things that you cannot change, instead, change the things you can.

Crosses - What crosses or causes strife , Death.

Absolute change - deep inside you resent change, you are unwilling to change and you do not want to listen to anything that is being said. You make the decisions and you will choose the next step. But sometimes change is unavoidable, sometimes we have to move on and allow the past to go and look to the future. Change isn't always bad, if we do not change things and keep up to date we can get left behind as the market changes according to demand. Review what it is you are doing and then see where you can easily afffect a change without too much strife. Small changes can be enough to start things rolling better.

Above - What your conscious mind thinks, Two of Wands.

You may feel fearful and think that things are out of hand and that you are losing control. The two Wands in this card are set on fire, they are burning and instead of the figure trying to put them out, he sits weeping whilst he watches the enchanting flames. You know what to do to make things improve but you are held in the past, unwilling to accept what is happening, instead of watching, jump up, move, act.

Below - What lies in your sub-conscious, Ace of Swords.

You sub-conscious mind wants a new start, the Ace shows that deep inside you there is a fierce new champion waiting to emerge. The sword is very sharp and can cut through all the red tape and blocks that may stand in your way, all you need to do is to allow yourself freedom. There is a snake entwined alon the sword which symbolises healing and cleansing, listen to your heart and see what could be possible now.

Behind - What is the background, Five of Cups.

Now is the time to let go of some things, to allow the past memories, emotions and feelings to fade away, only keeping hold of the knowledge learned, allow everything else to go, save this new found energy and use it to increase your vitality and enthusiasm that will help you get out of this. You do not need to draw on the past, instead look to the bright future and draw strength from what you see there.

Before - What lies in front of this situation, Five of Swords.

From the Five of Cups full of emotional worry to the Five of Swords and a future that you cut out and make for yourself. Do not allow yourself to fall into any traps for the unwary, this is not a time to sit still or to rest, now is the time to fight , to take action and to start the change that you want to achieve. With the past behind you take stock of the assets you have, take a long hard look at what you really are doing and then decide. Be determined and critical and cut away that which is not needed, that which does not pay its way or make a profit, turn things around and build on new, fresh ground.

Summary:-

You are in a situation that you need to face up to, but you also need to do this in a positive manner, things that are wrong need to be put right, things that are negative need to be changed, and things that are no longer needed need to be removed. Change is coming, you already know that, make it the change that You want, so start today and polish that Hermit's lantern to show you the way to a brighter light Good Luck!  

Hi Cascade of light
Thanks for such a wonderful insightful effort. Reading it, I felt that I am just listening to myself. But with so many problems/things happening around, vision is blurred a lot.
Any possibility that you can try to provide a more materialistic sort of a reading? Not sure if am able to explain properly. I am probably looking for a bit more direct sort of view, something easier to understand/follow.

Not implying that reading did not help, it has really given me a vision, but probably need a more direct view to ease/simulate my highly tense brain cells atm.

@Cedars .. possible for you to spare some time buddy?

Hello Pilgrim,

I just happened to see your footnote in your reply to Cassie.


My friend Cassie has given you an in-depth reading and I am sure she will clarify matters for you if you have any points where you are not sure.

You are in good hands.

Best wishes.
Cedars

Hi,

I am really sorry that my reading was not what you wanted. Maybe next time you request you could ask for only Cedars to read for you?

If I made the reading any more direct I would be telling you exactly what to do, and that is not what I see my role as, especially not on a public forum. I am here to facilitate the exchange of information. It is up to you what you want to do with it.

The future is still unmade, I have only highlighted the possibilities, it is now up to you to put in the hard work and make the decisions and choices and then follow them through. Both you know, and I know, what is happening. There  is no need for me to be any blunter and put it into written words. Words have their own immense power and right now you have the power to change, and improve and achieve exactly what you want.
