“A Game of Snakes & Ladders”: Reading for the Collective

Our past is complicated. Of course, it has had its beauty, but it also had ugly bits that fill us with regret or discomfort. However, all experiences were integral to our character & where we are at this moment. But as we leave the familiar shores of where we have been, propelled onward into the future having no vision of what we shall meet, there’s an aching to return to the past. The future, seemingly frightening & unfamiliar, can have us focusing on what we have lost wallowing in the melancholy for what will not be again. However, we must bravely realize the old path has come to an end, make peace with it & move on. If we try to relive or revive it, we will suffer. Fehu reversed indicates loss of some kind usually from wasting our resources- Instead of valuing or cherishing the good fortune we were lucky to have it’s been misused & squandered typically by our own greed, stupidity and selfishness resulting in hardship. Moving forward, we can, however, refuse to allow past mistakes to haunt our future by turning away from our excesses and abandoning stagnation in favor of much overdue change. The emergence of this new world is a rather delicate process and things can go either way at any time. In the days ahead, we will see a definitive presence of virtues and vices, some progressing while others regress.  Perthro Reversed cautions not to get attached to outcomes but yet, try to live for today. We are all responsible for our actions, good or bad. The fate of each is in their own hands. What’s done is done, and it’s does us no good to obsess about the dissatisfactions of the past. Instead, leave those memories there and turn your attention to the present psychological issues which require further exploration, (surely the “mystery within”), rather than wasting energy focusing on external circumstances. Time to rethink & courageously tackle delusion & fantasy & confront the deeper aspects that lay hidden. We would be better served by looking at our unhealthy behavior, emotional or psychological addictions, the collective degradation of our levels of mood and health as well as our loneliness. Our loneliness & disconnectedness from ourselves, each other & the Divine. We been unplugged from Source instead replacing it with hollow alternatives like money, work, clout, addictions-filling the void with empty comforts. When we pushed harder & harder to achieve or attain more & more we slipped further from Source & our divine centers. We must fight to reconnect. This may be the wakeup call we needed to get back on track & align with our real core selves & with the Divine once again. Tapping back into that central spring of otherworldly peace & calm will be important as we row on.
