OMG! I got so used to NOT getting them, I forgot to check! O.K here we go. Basically, I've just come OUT of retreat, perhaps recovering mentally from some trajedy and now I have to move forward again. I need to face my circumstances, admit to the limitations my situation presents and find a way to deal with the task at hand. I probably feel quite alone in my search for personal truth, it may feel like an uphill battle, but by accepting what I CAN'T do, it frees me up to discover what I can.

This is somewhat of a shot-in-the-dark, but could it mayhaps be the Six of Swords?

So, so close!

The Four of Swords

This is killing me! No. I ,primarily, must accept the truth of my situation. I lost, I retreated into the depths of my own mind to deal with it, and now I must face the limits my situation presents, accept the truth of it, even if it seems unfair, or too difficult. It is the only way to move forward.

This is hard! It's starting to sound like The Eight of Swords but that's just been done twice so... Well the four of cups retreats into his own mind and then the Five of Cups does at least face what has happened... Ok, The Five of Cups!

I'm sure I'm way off, but I'll guess the Eight of Cups. *shrug*

seven of swords??

Belladonna	29 Apr 2003
The 3 was the trajedy, the 4 was the retreat...I cannot win, I have to face it, my situation has limits. Therein lies the wisdom of this card- unfair? yes. Difficult to take? yes. ???
