🌑 Shadow Work

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

  • The Magician: Reflect on: Where am I using my words or charm to manipulate rather than create? What talents am I suppressing for fear of failure?
  • Five of Cups: Am I addicted to my own sorrow? Does my identity depend on the things I have lost rather than on who I am now?
