🌑 Shadow Work

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

  • The Empress: At what point does my desire to nurture turn into control or dependency? Am I neglecting my own pleasure to please others?
  • 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?
