14. In which ways do I connect to my higher self already? Which areas have I yet to venture upon?

The Empress, The Sun, 3 of Disks (Pentacles)

You tend to connect with your higher self when you nurture others.  Your openness and understanding draws to you those who are need of understanding and acceptance – as you help them to understand their own paths and purposes, you connect with and strengthen your own higher self.  This is the best way for you to do so, just remember to continue learning and growing as you continue down this path.


13. How can I be more prepared to deal with loss?

Judgement, The Emperor, Princess (Page) of Swords

You must strive to become aware of your purpose in life.  Seek out the defining force of your life and use it as a foundation to build your emotional and mental well-being upon.  This will provide you with stability and security during difficult times in life, which will in turn allow you to maintain control over your life.  To do this, you must harness the restless energy of your mind and focus it on your goals.  

12. I release control, and in doing so I am rewarded with new perspective. What is the first thing I notice?

Justice, Princess (Page) of Cups, The Fool

Your old perspective was one of right and wrong, black and white, with no gray areas.  But your new perspective is one of compassion and creativity.  It sees the gray areas and more so, sees the beauty within a world that is not strictly black and white. This will bring about a profound change in your life, that will bring you great joy.

11. At times it can be difficult to find a balance between our desires and our needs. What is it that I desire, and what is it that I need?

6 of Wands, The Wheel Of Fortune, 9 of Wands

You desire acknowledgement for the things that you do, the sacrifices that you have made.  But what you need is to learn to master your unruly emotions and be content with the luck and fortune that you have.  If you can do this, you will be happy whether your hard work and sacrifice are ever recognized or not.

10. What do I need to do in order to be released from that which no longer serves me?

The High Priestess, The Empress, 7 of Disks (Pentacles)

Let your conscience be your guide.  Look within yourself for wisdom and truth and you will find that you are the one who must release these things.  Do so in a way that is tender and nurturing – for you are a gardener pruning away the dead growth in your life. By doing so, you will see new growth in other areas in your life in great abundance.  

9. I will allow myself a day of rest, retreat, and sanctuary. As I remain within quiet refuge, what shall I let be my mantra?

The Sun, Princess (Page) of Wands, The Wheel of Fortune

Relationships, Passions, Happiness. Focus on the relationships that you are content with, the passions that fuel your soul and the happiness that you seek to attain.  

8. I wish to conquer my fears and live within a state of harmony. In order to make this my reality, what should I focus upon?

Queen of Wands, The World, The Emperor

You need to focus on your inner strength and power and the love that you have toward others.  You must try to avoid the issues plaguing the world, they are more than your energy can endure at the moment.  When all else fails, remember that you can always lean on your spouse for support.
