Avoiding what happened and the consequences of what happened may stop you from feeling bad about the entire matter for the short term. But turning your back will do nothing about your responsibilities and everything about making those consequences worse. You may feel like you are powerless to do anything about those consequences and that it would be better to just walk away from everything and everyone so that someone more qualified to deal with this mess can do just that. Except there isn’t anyone more qualified to deal with your life but you, and walking away from everything is the opposite of what you need to do to come through.


The Universal Waite is Mary Hanson-Roberts’s recolored rendition of the Waite-Smith deck. Nearly identical lining is softened by gentle coloring. Some faces have been reworked to be more pleasing to the eye. The Universal Waite Tarot is ©US Games Systems, Inc.
