“A Different Ship Comes In”

This week cautions against making plans based on future events, outcomes or successes that may not come to pass. In fact, be prepared to embrace chaos and uncertainty while you wait for a plan B to arrive. And that’s ok, because many times, it’s something better than we ever could have imagined. The 3 of Wands represents our “wanting more” and the looking to others to help our plans along. Here we strategize with confidence that all we want; we will indeed receive. However,  there may be some troublesome issues that could bring all your preparation & optimism down. Avoid being too dependent on others to do their part to guarantee your success.  They may not pull through for you or fulfill their end of the bargain. Do your own due diligence since they could overlook serious issues. As for yourself, watch for rushing ahead with plans or projects without confirmation of results. You may be too ambitious or optimistic looking past the obvious cracks in the foundation. You may have to take an honest look at where "it’s all wrong". Recognize when it’s not the right fit & bail despite your wishing thinking & impatience to move onto the next level. You need to embrace a possible change in direction & avoid getting ‘fired up” about disappointments-instead deal with the process maturely & in a balanced manner. This ego check teaches you humility but it also improves your chances for something better in the future. The Tower encourages you to see this disappointing revelation as an enlightening experience rather that viewing it as a direct challenge to your dreams. Exposing the cracks is perhaps saving you from committing to a complete lemon …again know when it’s time to get the hell out. To navigate feelings of confusion & avoid falling into despair, maintain a balance between contentment & persistence. Staying grateful for all that you still have while keeping a watchful eye out for new opportunities- Never surrender in making that dream come true. The 9’s say, “Hang in there you’re almost done, it’s up around the bend”. Hold conviction that you will succeed in finding contentment, joy & happiness. Have faith that what is meant for you will appear & a positive environment will be yours at last. Change is coming for the better.
