This is not the time to dig in your heels and demand it be your way or else. You only know half of the information you need to make a reasonable decision. Whatever you are wishing was here with you now to help you deal with this is not going to catch up, so you might as well turn and face the matter with your full attention. But at the same time, the situation is not as dire as it appears to you, so stop panicking and force yourself to look past the scary bits to the not so scary bits all in plain sight. You are going to have to not only pull all of your resources to bear, but all of your thoughts in the same direction if you want to come through this matter reasonably well. Panicking will only enthrone disaster.


The Universal Tarot of Marseille is primarily based on a Swiss deck created in 1751 by by Claude Burdel. The pips have color backgrounds to assist readers with distinguishing suite and the majors have had the lines refined and color backgrounds added to soften the overall look. The Universal Tarot of Marseille is ©Lo Scarabeo.
