“Being Still Rather Than Boxed In”

You may be frustrated that change is not happening as quickly as you'd  like and so you are forced to wait for what’s to come.  But Isa tells us the pause is necessary to gather strength & clarity before action will be required. Transformation is not anything you can force and like most things it has its own timetable & comes just when it means to. Death reversed says “Resist the new”. Hang on a bit longer and don’t be so eager to embrace the future just yet. Use this time of contraction to examine your will & any emotional distress that’s occurred before life’s distracting pace picks up once again. The pause allows you to face a hard reality, like it or not. If the rush of life had you making bad decisions because you lacked the inner understanding, focus & wisdom of self-counsel, now is the opportune time to course correct. There may need to be internal changes & shifts before anything external is to be executed. There are things of the past that still need to be considered, analyzed or processed.  These could be thoughts, beliefs, emotions or relationships that would serve you well to review or revisit. Take advantage of the pause to examine & finally action on eliminating negative life patterns  that repeat themselves endlessly….and needlessly. Some personal transformation or re-organizing needs to be done first so avoid being firmly set or resolute in your thinking since the Emperor insists on doing what he’s resolutely determined to do. Avoid being rigid & unwilling to be receptive to another course of action including doing nothing at all. Isa asks the Emperor to have some humility as you don’t have it all figured out. Don’t be so sure that everything is set in stone -leave room for surprises.

In regard to others, you may know better but leave well enough alone & keep sagely advice to yourself.
