That Which Crosses You

Looking back on life, remember the challenges of the past?

You had your plans, your desires, and then there was always the opposing force, the challenge that hindered or thwarted you. In Tarot this is called "that which crosses you."  The card is placed across the card symbolic of your current state of mind or affairs.

It is useful to look back on these challenges for they will focus the lense of your mind upon the current challenge.

That which crossed you before is not so important now. You could go back with a much clearer perspective and easily choose your dream over your fear.

Look again at what you want now and what opposes you. 30 years from now will you look back and cringe at the choices you make today and each day as you do nothing to further your dream?

Time and imagination create a lense by which you can see the now from the perspective of your past or future. What crosses you, and how important is that compared to your highest ideals, dreams and goals?

That is the real value of a card reading. The moment one takes to think about their present can amend the future and gain insight to one's past. The Tarot cards for me always worked with unfathomable accuracy. I provided many -free- readings while I attempted to understand how or why the cards worked. I now know they worked because I approached them honestly and respectfully and because the seen and the unseen connection is visible, to me.

Take an honest look at your life. Are you happy? Are you pursuing your dream, or someone else's? What will you do about it?
