Masks falling...

Dear Friends! Welcome to the GYPSY CAFE! I spent the weekend reading and relaxing. It was so cold outside that I wanted to do nothing else. Also, Friday's cards combination told me to surrender to the divine rhythm of things, and in my case, this means slowing down instead of always wanting to do something even when I mean it well. For people like me, who are always on the go, it takes effort to slow down and accept that in certain situations we have exhausted our human resources, and it is time to place things in God's hands. Placing them there is not so much the problem; leaving them there it is, when the temptation to bypass the slow and natural unfolding of events to bring about a speedy solution strikes. I must realize where Esther ends and God starts and when it is that I am standing at the border between heaven and earth, and our hands touch as I place my package of my current unresolvable issue into His hands in a "here is the package, please fix whatever is in it" way. And then I must turn around, walk back into my world and do my own happy and relaxing things and let God show His greatness to me by one day knocking on my door and handing my mess back to me all ironed and smoothened out, starched and straightened up. Until then, I should just relax. Or find the next thing to worry about.

Today too, I am asking the cards about the energies around me today. Having shuffled the major arcana of my Angel tarot deck, I drew the High Priestess Rx, the Strength and the Tower Rx cards. The combination is telling me that I am moving into a phase when facades, mine or that of others' will fall, masks will shatter, and what has appeared one way will soon collapse. Situations will become more clear, appearances less confusing, comprehension will become stronger and communication will become easier. All this I am happy to hear as I am not known to interpret confusing behaviour with ease, and the ensuing confusion weakens my confidence. This clarity may not come about today, of course; nonetheless, it is comforting to know that I am heading towards clarity, light and radiance.

You must be in your office already. Mondays can be complex and hectic, and you are called to do many things while running the risk of accomplishing nothing. Stick to your guns and do one thing at the time; otherwise you will be correcting mistakes all day tomorrow.
