get out of your head about it & follow your intuition. Sometimes there is no perfect answer, but we can't let that stop us dead in our tracks. Give yourself a set amount of time to think on it, then choose and don't look back. Trust yourself to make any adjustments needed as you move forward! (3/3)

that you are ruled by your emotions. This card reminds us that when we're feeling emotionally activated, we can pause, consider WHY we feel the way we feel, and choose a response that is aligned with our values and who we want to be in the world. (3/4)

The King of Cups is about emotional maturity, which isn't a lack of feeling but the ability to respond to your feelings thoughtfully. So many times we see people explain away poor behavior with "but [x] made me feel [y]!" That is not an excuse; that is telling others... (2/4)

The King of Pentacles reminds us to recognize the authority we already have, and the responsibility that comes with it.

as we wish it was, we may struggle against something that isn't there, or miss what is. A shift in perspective allows us to see what could be changed, what cannot be changed, and where our efforts can actually make a difference. Where might acceptance give you more leverage rather than less? (3/3)

Other people's opinions can be valuable information, but they're not authoritative judgements. Where do you evaluate what you've done by its reception rather than on its own merits? Where do you compromise the integrity of your work in order to please others? (4/4)

...is equally important, or those lessons will never sink in. The Hermit asks us to make space for integration: What have I learned? What patterns keep repeating? What do I understand now that I didn't understand before? Experience gives us material. Reflection is what turns it into wisdom. (3/3)

But the ability to be alone in itself isn't a virtue, it's what you do with that time. The Hermit encourages us to reflect on what we've learned, to metabolize the events of our lives. The "doing" of life is important, or there would be no lessons to learn. But the "being" of life... (2/3)

It's less about what you believe or would like to believe, and more about how you apply your beliefs. Again, Marcus Aurelius sums it up nicely: “If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it.” The measure of a principle is what you're willing to do about it. (4/4)
