Hi Owl!
Your post provoked a few thoughts for me. I, admittedly, follow politics far too closely. It's hard to cut back when every day there seems to be some sort of new disaster. That said, the US is extremely divided right now and it also was very much during the election. People's minds were constantly changing, creating a massive amount of mixed energy being put out into the universe. How could your tarot results possibly be reliable on such a grand scale with so many fluctuations and confusion? Also, between the electoral and popular vote, both can be seen as two different kinds of "wins." Even that is still being debated and the president still can't seem to stop talking about it. Perhaps sometimes we don't get a warning because we have to feel the full effect of the Tower without bracing for it. I'm still fairly new to tarot as far as reading for other people but my connection with the cards has never been stronger. However, now that I am aspiring to be a professional, my negative self talk has been really LOUD. That's part of why I joined Aeclectic. I think starting here when you are having a falling out or experiencing doubt is one of the healthiest things you can do!
Awwww, Sonja, thank you!
Such good points about the upheaval, unrest, and uncertainty during the election cycle (and now after.) This is true. What a difficult situation to get a read on.
I'm so glad you decided to join Aeclectic. I hope you find lots of support (and fun!) here. Self-doubt might be indicating that you're a conscientious person who really wants to do a good job. You could focus on that intention of preparedness. It might help dampen the anxiety a bit if you remember there could be a positive in there for you, too. Lots of good wishes to you!
