Four of Wands - The Meaning of "Home"

 Like the fictional film character from a far-away planet - ET - most adult human beings long for home. 

Typically we leave what we were told was "home" when we exit for college, living with a soulmate, or work. If that sheltering experience was good, later we may seek what replicates it. Maybe we grew up by a lake so we buy a house near water. If it was bad we are determined to locate to the exact opposite.

Obviously the focus is on geography. But all that physical search activity tends to ignore that "home" - as the Tarot's Four of Wands messages - means safety, the absence of conflict, and joy. Essentially it's a haven of refuge. Life can deliver some nasty blows, disappointments, and losses. Home gives us relief from the pressures. 

It was in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the 1970s, that I finally found my first home. Where I had endured the first 18 years of my life had been traumatic. 

In western PA, I attended college on a scholarship. 

Later, after struggling with trying to put together a match between my advanced degrees/talent and what the market was buying, I discovered professional writing.

For seven months I freelanced, earning peanuts. Then everything came together. In that geographical area it peaked with landing a position writing speeches and articles for executives at what would become giant energy corporation Chevron. The next steps in a career path for writing were D.C. and then New York.

After 46 years of deep satisfaction with writing I shifted to my sideline - Tarot readings. Yes, I do that now full-time. Along with the pivot - and this is a surprise to me - I yearn to "go home." 

That will be the Pittsburgh, PA metro area. And the reset of my life will be on May 1st, 2023. Aging, which I am now doing, makes us more vulnerable. I need to be where I feel safe again. No, I am not chasing the past. I am simply going back home.
