#MonthofSpreads Day Nineteen: The Power Within The Tower
1. What do I need to break free from?
Eight of Coins
Stamina, duty, hard work, perfectionism
Usually a card celebrating the benefits of toil and hard long work, this card in this context is pointing to the fact that I have been working too hard and too long for too little reward. While there are benefits to my working, and while it is necessary for me to do some things most of the time, I am working too much and too hard, while others who should be shouldering the load rest easy, or simply fail to realise the load I am bearing. I need to step back and let others take the slack, and if they fail to carry the burden, then sole fault and responsibility does not lie with me. I cannot take the weight of everything for everyone, even if I worry what will happen if I don’t. I need to let go, and let things fall sometimes. It’s okay.
2. What can I build from this freedom once I achieve it?
Ace of Coins
Potential, possibilities, prosperity, beginnings, opportunity
What can I build when I free myself? Who knows! With the time to think and the space to breathe, what I choose to nurture and cultivate is up to me, whether it’s a new thing or an old thing I’ve left fallow for far too long. The benefit will come from the doing, whether it’s gardening or stargazing or getting back to the gym, finally. It’s my choice.
