Druidcraft tarot A2

Rode my bike, trying to assess and sort thoughts... Feeling weary (and allergic!!).

Did a Druidcraft tarot, hexagram spread regarding matters with A2.

It seems to indicate I need to withdraw a bit and do more inner work... not sure what to make of it.

the cast:

Card 1, apparent, conscious issue
The Hermit

seems to indicate I'm again at a stage where I need to withdraw a bit, retreat, seek guidance, let things take care of themselves as they will. Silence and solitude to refresh the soul.

Card 2, point of tension
10 of Pentacles

talks of balance and blessings (sending and receiving). I almost feel like this card is indicating that there is a barrier aspect of the relationship with A2 that is preventing me from receiving all the blessings that might come my way.

I think it also indicates that this has been a mutually blessed/blessing relationship, but things may be out of balance in some ways.

Card 3, way to resolution
3 of swords

Heartache, potential for transformation. "out of heartache can come healing and the maturing of our ability to love. A love triangle.... temporary separation.... true growth and transformation...."

Card 4, the unrevolved or unconscious inner determinant
10 of swords

May be indicating that "a long-term situation - a relationship - may have come to an end..."

I wonder if I'm unconsciously (or maybe not so unconsciously) gearing up to move the relationship with A2 more to a friendship setting and less a "love" relationship...

Card 5, the pivot of change
King of swords, inverted

talks of the deliberate withholding of information (I take this to also be a reference to A2's reluctance to go "too deep" with the relationship -- her emotional intimacy issues she hasn't faced, and likely won't.

"the ability to communicate clearly and objectively may have become distorted...."

Card 6, the key to harmony
3 of cups, inverted

Points back at the need to pay attention to my inner needs. May be indicating too much focus on the relationship with A2 to the detriment of other interests, opportunities, and neglect of my own, and my inner needs.

Look within.


So this reading starts and ends with a reflection of a need to be more contemplative -- turn inward. Think on things, so to speak.
