No, it isn’t political, it’s romantic–a tarot forecast that provides a brief overview of the current state of your relationship.
Heart of the Matter
A major shift is currently taking place that underscores the need to revitalize some aspect of your life. Perhaps you’ll have to conclude some unfinished business, release an outdated attitude or lifestyle, or purge bad habits that perpetually block progress. To fully put the past behind means letting go of old wounds and hurtful memories that keep you closed to honest dialogue and opportunity. An inevitability may also bring a change in status–marriage, divorce, the beginning/ending of a job, relocation, or any number of transitions that push you and a relationship out of a state of stagnancy where money, power, sex, or health challenges are areas of concern. For some, a Scorpio (sun, moon, rising) is the agent of change.
The Crossing
(What Challenges or Affirms the Above)
You or your partner may appear willing on the surface, yet withdraw or break promises that require sacrifice. Perhaps you’ve created ideals that are not humanly possible for a mate to achieve or you’ve willingly sacrificed everything for love, sometimes needlessly. If there’s been a failure to fully commit on your part, it may be a sense of vulnerability or powerlessness that keeps you stuck in procrastination or a preoccupation with your own agenda. At worst, selfishness or arrogance is at the base of resentment about having to make sacrifice at all. Whether you’re simply unsure of where to start, feel trapped and at the mercy of a partner, or have recently freed yourself, you’re now waking up to the reality of a situation and the fact that hanging in limbo or trying to escape personal responsibility is not an option. Don’t expect a partner to come to the rescue; matters require that you handle them on your own if you hope to get closer to yourself and deeper commitment. Perhaps a fresh perspective and approach to turn a relationship around means doing the unexpected.
Underlying Influence
Your relationship could be marked by control issues where the fallout impacts your sense of security. Authoritarian or domineering behavior may be par for the course in a relationship characterized either by traditional role playing where one partner is the dominant decision-maker or where there’s been a refusal to grow up. A heightened desire to protect self, a situation, or relationship drives high emotions and possible anger when seeking to discover the truth, self-empower, or find out where you stand in matters. In the positive, you’re willing to take on greater responsibility to establish a firm foundation. In the negative, the push for an agenda through pettiness, excessive demands, and according to a personal timetable will ultimately reveal the rebel without a cause and the realization that you or a partner never really had the power to operate the control button. For some, a strong tie to an Aries (sun, moon, or rising) is the cause.
The Recent Past
A multitude of options and confusion became emotionally overwhelming for you or a partner bringing into question the direction of the relationship. Perhaps your love interest was already involved or there was indecision about which lover to choose. The disconnect between fantasy and reality blurred the ability to make grounded decisions or clear choices. Instead, faulty judgment, muddled thinking, or erroneous perceptions led to situations where, in some cases, the response was to self-soothe through shopping, escapism, or substance abuse prompted by mental health challenges.
Crowning Influence
Wisdom may have been gifted through crisis or a stressful period of feeling lonely, dejected or unloved that required you tie up loose ends and attend to unfinished business. Your observations have come through the lens of age, experience, and life lessons that bring you closer to the reality of yourself, a partner, and your situation. Events brought spiritual awareness about self-reliance when recognizing talk-with-no-walk in partners that fail to show up or deliver. Some of this enlightenment takes the form of confrontation, criticism, and power struggles that underscore where either of you are touting superiority while operating at contradictory base level. In the positive, you’re finally connecting from a spiritual place, trusting the advice of your own inner voice, or breaking out of isolation ready and prepared for a loving relationship. A Virgo person (sun, moon, rising) may be the source of knowledge.
Outcome
You and a partner have conflicting perspectives, act at cross-purposes, or experience inner conflict caused by divided loyalty. Perhaps you’ve called an uneasy truce in a struggle without really coming to any kind of real resolution. You may be waiting for the tide to turn, a shift in circumstance, or holding tight to your resolve. As a result, either of you may feel stuck in a stalemate with no way out in matters involving a difficult decision, agreement, or settlement. In the interim, irrational anxieties that stifle forward movement may be attributed to emotional shutdown, especially when faced with uncertainty and the impact on the future. Contradictory feelings or blocked emotions make it difficult to communicate or find resolution given the inner turmoil driving fears of making the wrong decision. The challenge is not allowing impatience or frustration to undermine the goal and getting clear on what you’re actually willing to commit.
