Why Is It So Hard to "Walk Away?"

 Romance, a career path, your hometown or even an engrossing hobby like piloting planes which has gotten too expensive. In Tarot readings the Ah-Ha moment comes when it is obvious to clients that they have to "walk away" from all that.


That recognition - as well as its difficulties - is symbolized in the Tarot by the Eight of Cups card. The human being who has made the decision and has taken the action faces mountains to climb, along with uncertainty. However the hope of success comes through in that the water, which stands for emotion, is calm, not turbulent.

What I have found is the chief reason for the difficulty of Walking Away is the sunk cost. Over and over again, clients mention that the romance had gone on for eight years; there are still student loans from business or law school; and what about all those friends from grade school in the hometown? 

That is becoming easier, though, when clients bear witness to how the current overall volatilty in just about every aspect of life is unhinging so many. It's not just them. Actually, there can be gratitude that their transition isn't more bumpy. 

Another factor creating reluctance about Walking Away is the need to form new social connections and networks. In a divorce, for example, there usually is side-taking. Make the shift from content-creation to law school, it's imperative to put together a new intel/contact/support network. 

The third obstacle is that so much of the past becomes useless baggage - almost a liability. The Ph.D. in literature who had developed great expertise in Shakespeare has to shift that passion to a hobby after they create a career path in management consulting. It could lessen their brand equity in the new line of work if they seem preoccupied with literature. 



And, the fourth is, of course, the uncertainty. There is no predicting if the risk will pan out. That's why the Tarot major cards begin with The Fool. Yes, risk has become necessary in the course of our 21st-century lives. But taking it doesn't guarantee the expected results. 

As a Tarot reader I am cautious when I guide struggling human beings through change. The process demands patience with oneself and with how the world operates.

Painful Long Half-Life of Trauma: Did Prince William Marry His Mother?

Image
  It was September 6, 1997. A number of psychics such as myself entered a grief trance. We became one with the trauma of Princes William and Harry as they walked behind the coffin of their mother Diana. The pain, I keep picking up, likely hasn’t abated in substantive ways. (Currently, it is agreed, placing them in that forever visual of their personal histories was thoughtless and cruel.) Here we are. It is said that boys marry their mother and Harry seemed to do exactly that in choosing Meghan Markle. Like Diana, she was never going to fit in. There was going to be lots of hurt to go around.  The surprise, though, is that the supposedly less fragile William might also have married his mother in choosing Kate Middleton. We don’t know that, do we? But there is reason to speculate that’s might have been exactly what occurred. Amid the conspiracy theories circling about MIA Middleton (There has been a recent photo op of her mother driving her in car), is this one in the 03-...

The Elite Psychics - Cassanda Vanzant Provides Solution for Getting Clarity, Finally

Image
  Ever since The New York Times saluted the Tarot in April 2021as a tool for self-awareness and introspection, there has been massive interest in psychic readings. More recently the media designated psychics as the new therapists. However, that left those seeking guidance in a pickle. The issue is: How to select a psychic who is 1) authentic 2) caring and 3) will provide the results you need.  Long-time psychic Cassandra Vanzant observed that confusion. Her Ah-Ha moment was to develop a fresh approach to the "delivery" of the psychic connection. That is The Elite Psychics.  Excited about this breakthrough development in psychic services, I requested an exclusive interview with Vanzant.  *************************************************** THE ELITE PSYCHICS Q: With all the internet psychic sites to choose from, what makes your site, The Elite Psychics, different?

J. Michael Cline's Pain

Image
"Fandango founder [J. Michael Cline] left heartbreaking suicide note before jumping from NYC luxury hotel: ‘I can’t explain the pain’" -  New York Post , July 18, 2024  Cline, a very successful serial entrepreneur, was not alone in being unable to articulate his pain. So many suffering human beings decide to have a Tarot reading because they are unable to tell even themselves 1) What hurts and 2) How overwhelming that pain is. Our society demands that its members always be in complete control. That's the face you have to present to the world. The Tarot reader and the client work together to bring the distress to the surface. The New York Times explained how the Tarot is a tool for awareness.  Sometimes the pain is rooted in the unreal, such as the ruminations of the clinically depressed. They experience themselves as failures, on every level.  It could be temporary. There are those setbacks such the loss of the job.  Or it could be long-term as with chronic hea...
