🌑 Shadow Work

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

  • The Fool: Ask yourself: Where am I using "freedom" as an excuse to avoid commitment to my own growth? What fear am I hiding behind the mask of being carefree?
  • Temperance: Where am I oscillating between destructive extremes for fear of facing the void of the center? In what area of my life am I trying to force a result instead of allowing the alchemy of time to do its work?
