Today's message from Spirit is The Fire Prince as a challenger with both The World and 9 of Swords Reversed for clarity.
You may find yourself returning to a fork in the road, a thought, idea, situation, etc. that you hesitated on making a decision. Maybe you did but it wasn't quite the right one. Either way, we're being told not to plunge headfirst and brazenly into action just yet. There's a lesson that hasn't been learned which must be before you are able to move on. A message is being presented that Spirit has been hoping to relay for quite some time. Maybe this lesson has plagued you for a while but you simply swept it under the rug with a mental reminder to deal with it later--though later never seems to come.
Not today, I'm afraid. While we're being warned against reacting, we are being prompted to respond. Honest reflection, pondering, and thought are needed. What a wonderful time given that Mercury is retrograde right now so it's always a good time to go within and reassess your thoughts. A good way to do just this is by journaling. Pull out a sheet of clean paper, a pen or pencil and ask yourself what is it about this situation that grieves you? What vexes you? What drains you? How do you wish to proceed and why? Get down and dirty. Get to the core of everything.
It is only after you shine the light on the seemingly concealed lesson that you may be capable of appropriately moving forward. If the proper care and thought isn't given then you may find yourself returning again and again to the same point. The circumstances and people may differ but the underlying theme will remain. Now is time to free yourself from that cycle, cast aside your worries, anxieties, and doubts, so that you may embrace your most authentic self and your most path in life.
Plunging in headfirst with enthusiasm, inspiration, and excitement--while all dandy at first--tends to sizzle out. Make sure you know why, how, and what it is you truly want otherwise you're doomed to repeat this cycle until you do so.
Brightest of Blessings,
The Autumn Witch
