“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.” ~ Gilda Radner
The Shadowland Tarot by Monica Bodirsky 2020
Uncertainty can either keep us on our toes or instill fear. I hope it is the first rather than the latter. It’s very hard to see a clear path when The Moon wears a mask, as if it wasn’t difficult enough to see to begin with, these are the times when we need to trust in ourselves and follow where our intuition would lead.
Although annoying, the petty arguments and attitudes, ego stroking, and the grandstanding of late, won’t last forever. The Five of Wands, “sometimes can indicate an inability to speak up when you witness unfair situations and treatment of others; however, this card urges you to consider your role and responsibility in any given conflict and your complicity by remaining silent.” Have you found yourself in this situation where you didn’t speak up and wish that you had?
The Hanged Man, would suggest you need to take a new tack and get your bearings before taking any big steps or making any big decisions. Take time to consider and get a new point of view of the situation. If you are in a quandary, as the Five of Wands suggests, you don’t want to jump to any conclusions. You need to take stock and make a plan. Try seeing the situation from another’s point of view. It may not change your opinion or direction, but the time it takes to contemplate can give you the time you need for fine tuning.
“You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.”
― Max Ehrmann
