"Faced with a Moral Dilemma”

At this time you could be met with a situation that goes against your own code of ethics caused by a lack of movement (due to lockdowns, logistic delays, journey plans cancelled) or your progress being halted (due promotions denied, delayed return to work/school, business advancements retracted).  The Priest represents spirituality and so morality plays a big part in this situation. A situation where those in authority are preaching what’s right or wrong to you. However, there are Higher Laws that stand solidly in the background. The sacred Universal Law of the Divine is the ultimate Word. In society, there are rules, mandates or laws that although socially acceptable are incongruent with human decency or ethics. Conversely, what’s morally correct may be civilly unlawful in some cases. Here, difficulties are experienced because you’ve been forced to take a step backward because of your “sins”. Whatever the circumstance, your momentum has been stalled and so entry is denied. You seriously question the morality of the situation as it feels like a grave injustice to be put in a situation where you may have to compromise your ideals. The Priest suggests an examination of your conscience and serves to remind you are personal responsible for your thoughts & actions. The challenge will be on which path you take and the question, will you compromise your ethics? Are your actions congruent with what your preaching?

Both Merchant & Journey are reversed, which could indicate someone  playing you for a fool to get what they want. Do they want to hold you back? The Merchant asks you to use your skills to your best advantage. The Whale represents those skills: of being able to listen deeply to the undercurrents (especially of what’s judgements are brewing in the background). Of what’s being said, or not said. Nonverbal communication, picking up on vibes, reading the energy of situation or a person. Don’t bother trying to negotiate or sell them on your idea or viewpoint. It would be in vain. In fact, refuse to discuss it but go & choose the most right, moral & just option that resonates with your personal book of ethics. The Priest suggests perhaps the support from a religious organization proving helpful to you. These authorities play by a different set of rules. Ethically, you are not on the same page & a legal judgement may have to be involved as the Priest also represents legal opinions.
