Acknowledging that they have a point is not the same as giving everything up and letting them win. But if you don’t admit that painful truth, you might as well walk away now. Tell your pride to go sit in the corner, and work with your opponent towards your shared goal. Yes, this will mean that you are going to do some things their way, but this also means that they are going to do some things your way, however, this also means that all of your are more likely to do most of the things in a way that neither one of your had prepared for but are going to do it now. Be diplomatic in your responses, and remember that you are not here to gain points over your opponent. You are here to get the job done, so get to it.


The Dust II Onyx tarot deck is Courtney Alexander’s homage to her Black heritage and to the Black matriarchs and leaders of her communities. The deck is also a love offering to the LGBTQIA+ community and is presented as a tool for every person within the African diaspora to feel a connection to without prejudice.
