Today’s cards: Hanged Man –XII, X of Cups, & Page of Cups.

The outcome you were told to achieve by any means necessary is actually the Bad Ending™. Your personal cost would never be reimbursed and the long-lasting changes it will force on you will always place you at a disadvantage for the things you personally want. It’s time to let go of other people’s ideals. Let them fight the conflict they are chafing for. To them, you will appear to have given up, and they will gladly leave you in the ditch you won’t get out of. But in that low space, useless to others, you will find the resources you need to recover from what they forced on you, and a new way to move forward towards the Good Ending™ that is your personal and private goal.
