The entire reading is the path to the final phrase: your secret wish is...
A swinging from pro and con and back again, hence the last phrase is point-blank. The outcome does not present you with a certain desire or image, but the wish is the desire's and image's source.
We use the Dondorf's Lenormand for our readings.
1. Your secret wish - Scythe.
2. I heart it - Mice.
3. I dislike it - Path.
4. restraint - Sun.
5. fulfillment - Mice
The Scythe symbolises your secret wish. The Scythe offers two possibilities: it offers a cut, a break from something or the harvest of what you sowed.
The Mice show how you like your wish. Mice signify unpleasant situations one prefers to ignore and neglect. The sitution is not recognised as problem. If there is no problem, hence one does not need to find a solution. The Mice also denote gluttony and theft.
The Mice like the Scythe because the Scythe is as quickly cutting as the Mice feed on corn. The Mice also say: harvest as quick as you can, we will see to that fruits you reap! The harvest is as much as a theft.
Wielding the Scythe is a privation because it takes away and finishes a process. The cut ends a period of time.
The Mice sap on the strength. The situation one ignores, wears out. Ignoring takes its toll. The Scythe is only taking, the Mice like the Scythe because they profit on its work. The Scythe saves them from starvation. The Mice make good profit on the harvest.
The Mice say: let the Scythe rest until the right moment arrives, until the situation is ready. This way, the Mice prolong the situation.
They procrastinate on this issue. Time's not up. The Mice fear, they could end up with nothing. The problem keeps getting ignored and negleted.
The Path shows how you dislike your wish. In dreams, the Path symbolises the feelings in terms of a relationship or situation. The situation is dead-end, there is no way out. The Path does not like the Scythe because the Scythe opens no ways. It cuts away. The Scythe deals with the past, when it harvests the fruits. The only way the Scythe knows is cutting a period. To stop walking that way, ending the way.
The Path wants to go on, but the Scythe blocks off. One cannot go on with the Scythe. The Path prolongs the situation by its means. The Path may extend the gridlock. One may not move forwards nor backwards. The Path does not allow to leave it. The Path must be trodden.
The Sun is the restraint. Outside factors beyond your control. The Sun makes the situation visible. The Sun does not help to conceal the situation and keep it secret. The Sun says: the time is now. The situation needs to be clarified. It has to go on, harvesting is necessary to make it turn out well. One needs to think about the future. Carpe Diem.
"Today begins the first day of the rest of your life."
The Dog fullfills your wish. On the spiritual level, the Dog is a leader on the path to the netherworld in order to find understanding for ourselves. The Dog symbolises the aspects of life that require emotional protection, or self-defense. As an 'anxiety animal' in the dream, the Dog defines one's own bad conscience concerning to what one dares to do in secret.
The Dog can bite, the Scythe can cut. Both are expressions of seperation. The Dog bites not to seperate, but to protect and defend. The Dog seperates friend and foe, known and unknown.
The Dog offers protection, it defends its master. The Scythe symbolises an adjustment. The unadjusted situation is a mess, which is unsafe. The Dog provides a safety by leading the way to self-awareness.
Self-awareness makes a difference between friend and foe inside of oneself as well as in relationships. Self-awareness heals the bad conscience.
The situation that needs to be cleansed is a pang of conscience. A bad conscience is the standstill, the Mice feed on the bad conscience.
Your secret wish is to cut loose. Release the Dogs. The Scythe is not loving. The Scythe cuts and seperates. It is an aggressive tool, it is neither evil nor mean.
Your secret wish is to be an angel with fangs and claws... you wish to be an AngelTiger. The beast in you is the power to cut, end and finish off without remorse. You wish to walk your path, which asks for seperation and connect, however seperation appears to be 'bad', and connecting deems to be 'good'. So sometimes situations expand because one does not wish to be the bad one. So the bad conscience keeps nagging like the Mice on which one does not dare to let go.
So matters and issues will take care of themselves, and the problems should right itself. The plant one does not like anymore gets no water.
Hope this resonates with you!
