🌑 Shadow Work

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

  • 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?
  • The World: What "loose end" am I refusing to close for fear of what will come next? How am I sabotaging my own success by not feeling worthy of wholeness?
