(XII) The Hanged Man +
(XVI) The Light

It seems you have really been devoted to a practice of living in your authenticity lately- which is so beautiful, but often not easy. It may even feel lonely or like you’ve been waiting around to finally see a revelation from your efforts and alignment. You know it is important to stay true to yourself, yet beginning to wonder~ Is it really worth the risk to be so vulnerable? Especially when it feels so isolating? Will I really ever find others who match my integrity? The enlightenment of why you have been kept in the dark is now available to you.

The perspective you’ve gained from this restrictive period is the exact position you need to be in to finally see what is to be highlighted for your remarkable journey. Sometimes being in the dark depths is the perfect place for transformation and growth- like a seed who needs to ground it’s roots before reaching toward the sun, or the insect that must develop it’s new wings in sacred privacy. Not only does it allow you to get your footing before the next stage, but you would not have even noticed the glimmer of light in the corner if it wasn’t for your eyes adjusting to the darkness.

And do not be discouraged or underestimate the size of the light- it only takes a spark to create a blaze! The flickering flame is plenty. What you have been given is plenty. The brilliance that you are is plenty. Recognize this as the reliability you seek, just as the seed holds a greater potential beyond it’s current appearance. The promise of more. This is what you can depend on when you cannot yet feel the support or see all your allies that await in the shadows. I assure you, they are there. Because, no, my friend, you are not meant to go this alone.

You are being equipped in just the right gear for what’s in store. This time was not a test, but a preparation. You would not be ready for what the coming adventure asks of you if you had not taken this route of discerning and attuning to your inner compass. Your sight is now sharper, the frame is in view, and you are now facing an important direction. The orientation matters. And you were led here on purpose.

The individuality that you are is here for a reason. There is nothing else like it- both unique and necessary right now in this world. No one else can shine what you shine. If you are ready to step into your next phase, find the glow that you now know how to kindle and see what’s before you with new eyes- the path of relief and reassurance can now be illuminated.
