"Re-animation”

Present reality has become so uncomfortable twisting one’s mind into a loop of brooding & self-pity. The amount of distress/anxiety felt has you ready to wave the white flag in surrender, walk away & move on, come what may. It’s obvious things cannot continue this way. Interestingly, both cards reduce to a 9, signaling you’ve almost had it, be it a relationship, career goal, or a long-term experience-you are DONE. But before announcing, “Beam me up, Scotty” giving in to the impulse of cutting & running, weigh both sides & try to discern the truth prior to taking a stand & making a judgement. A decision may not be necessary right at this moment. Take time to reconsider & assess the matter before condemning- dig up what’s really going on here. If a move must eventually be made, it can be done without casting blame or punishing the other. See it as an opportunity to self-examine life patterns & learn these karmic lessons rather than being fated to repeat them. Although you may feel out of step with your partner, Crossroads reversed also warns against impulsive decisions based on selfishness & miscommunication. As uncomfortable as it may be, now is the time for honest conversations about why you do not seem to be on the same page & to determine the best course of action moving forward. It’s a “come to Jesus” moment, if you will, to resuscitate whatever’s been on life support for far too long.  Stop & address these issues before you make any important decision; otherwise it may drive you into further conflict. The Alchemist, like the Magician, can transmute & perform miracles, giving life to what was previously lifeless. Each party has the tools & resources to turn this into something worthwhile, but it’s going to take communication, desire, love and effort to recreate, reshape and change this energy into something that once again matters. If both can come to understand what they really want & are committed to recapturing this goal, the entity they’ve created together can be recharged with purpose & intention.
