TODAY’S MESSAGE -

Something that was once close to your heart now feels uninteresting or draining. Today take some distance from that project or relationship. You may come back to it; you may not. What’s important now is to replenish yourself emotionally and spiritually.

This is a card of letting go and moving on. Although the retreat indicated is voluntary, it is also painful.

It often means taking time alone to contemplate one’s emotions and decide if leaving is the best route. It could mean literally leaving — changing homes, leaving a relationship, quitting a job, going on a trip to find yourself — or leaving behind hopes and dreams.

When this card appears you or someone involved is tired of feeling disappointed and hopeless and is ready to look for better opportunities. Often this card indicates a craving for spiritual deepening.
