Tarot Weeks

[wolven7]

I keep getting Wand, Cup, and Sword responses to Pentacle Problems.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for Phoenix Fires, Bacchanals, and Rapier Wit, but some days we need to get down in the Dirt with the Cold and Hard.

You know what I mean.

There's one exception to this (and I need to email Michelle and Srdjan back about that), but the fact of the matter is I'm completely off kilter, these weeks. Nothing I know how to do is working.

Not doing anything isn't working.

Wu-Wei isn't not not-working.

Asking the universe to point me in the right direction isn't working.

I just... Help? Suggestions?

I'm extremely stressed and easily pissed off, and nothing I know of is centring me, or calming me down from this place.

I don't even know what it is that I need, to ask for it.

What the hell, you know?

if you're easily stressed and/or pissed off, then perhaps its because right now, you cannot control what is going on. Sometimes you just need to blow the steam off by having an adult tantrum. It doesn't make you a failure to have a bad week and be pissy, it makes you human. I could be totally wrong but I think you need to stop trying to exert so much control - including the idea that you are supposed to accept lack of control with some kind of controlled reaction - over everything. Sometimes life sucks because you can't always have everything go your way. Be pissed that its your turn to have it bad. That's how it is for everyone sometimes.

also, from a broader perspective, perhaps the universe is setting you up for something that will be extremely hard to accept and maybe needs to be fought. Maybe you're supposed to be on alert and ready to battle.

I'm willing to believe it.

That right there? That's probably the hardest part.

And, yeah, frankly i Am pissed. It seems like I "had it good" for a couple of months, and then this. I'd even take an even keel, not-too-great-but-not-terrible, you know?

Wow. That's profoundly broken.

I vote for the tantrum. I once had a tantrum about a certain "problem" and that "problem" shortly thereafter got hit by a bus. It was seven kinds of "Satanic powers as portrayed in the movies" awesome. So yeah, I think there's a lot to be said for "rage gnosis."

It CAN work. We'll see what happens.

I can go through tapping with you some time, if you want. I'm not sure it will change the situation any more than any of your other tools, but it can definitely change perspectives, which may help. (And in the laws of magic, changing your perspective could very well change the situation.)

Perspective is the thing which most often needs changing.
