“Your Attention Here Is Not Needed”

This week speaks to a delay in something making the transition into a better, bigger version of themselves ready to meet new circumstances. There’s a failure to launch and so it’s still stuck in its beginning or nymph stage. Could this be referring to your own nymphs? Your children emerging into adulthood, growing up & coming into their own? Condor suggests that you are too entrenched in their development, too involved in their life when you need to back off & let them establish a separate and independent life as a self-sufficient adult. As they grow, your micromanaging is welcomed less & less. And this is the way it should be but it’s not because you are no longer needed. Your attention is just not required in the all-encompassing way you were when they were very young. So, by babying them, you are stunting their personal growth & limiting their potential thereby doing them no service at all. Try not to take your necessary absence as a rejection or being ignored. Children are individuals that have to come up in their own way, on their own timetable, despite all your incessant but well-meaning efforts. Caution & moderation is advised here. If you have been manipulating their lives behind the scenes in attempt to make life (theirs & your own) easier, you will be caught out. There might be a backlash; angry words hurled at you & plenty of hurt feelings all around. The “Darkening of The Light” suggests you keep out of sight, maintain a low profile, and let them make their own mistakes come what may. Isn’t that how we learn? A bit of adversity builds character & making mistakes helps form wisdom, and gain resiliency. Although this card calls to create much needed space, you are but a short distance away..just out of their spotlight. So, even if mess-ups happen, under the safe shadow of your nearby guidance, they are afforded the space to make adjustments to their plans. Consider using this downtime creatively for self-development & work on your own stuff to enhance or refine your own potential, staying centered & true to your own growth despite the external stressors happening at the moment. One can ONLY live their own life, so let your young nymphs live theirs.
