No reading is complete without looking at our darkness. These are the uncomfortable questions you must ask yourself today:

  • The Tower: What ego structure am I trying to defend despite its foundations being rotten? What revelation am I so afraid of that I prefer to live in a comfortable lie?
  • Ace of Cups: Am I confusing "needing to be loved" with "being open to love"? What emotional debris am I still keeping in my cup that prevents the new water of grace from entering?
