Eight of Cups, Gamble-Hounsome Tarot
Close our hearts and walk away - or remain open to all feelings?!
"We may feel alone, but the truth is that if this is so, it is of our own making."
There are some heavy shit within now, that we're not particularly eager to feel!
We expect someone to fix it for us - 'make us feel whole' - or we want to 'get the hell our of here'.
Our feelings might be triggered by someone/something - but they are not the CAUSE (nor the 'medicine').
Whatever happening, it might just be so that we can get in touch with precisely these feelings?!
Giving us the possibility to befriend and transmute our deep seated wounds and fear of abandonment (yes I have Chiron in Taurus 8H).
What better way than to have/meet someone you deeply care for and connect with, and be left a little hanging in mid-air, is there for this?! :P
Were 'left hanging' not because of ill will or that they want to hurt us, but because they either 'have a life of their own to take care of' and/or have their own shit (bagage/trauma/fears) troubling them of course (consciously or unconsciously) :)
#EveryoneHasTrauma
And we all know: what's meant for us will come, or return, to us.
In this case: when our sense of neediness has been worked through.
Because a 'needing heart' is not and open heart... Need is the voice of trauma and fear.
So, whatever happening is actually here to help us OPEN our hearts.
Not happening TO us but FOR us.
The mind might tell us otherwise though... That it's too painful or that we're about to "get hurt", and better close our hearts and walk away.
Can we remain open just one more day?
One more hour?!
