Seven of Cups + Five of Pent's, Scorpio Sea + New Chapter

We can have it all - but not all at once!
It takes time to transform and transmute the old into gold. 

Maybe there's too many emotions now. Ace of Cups two days in a row.
We welcomed them all, but are now a little overwhelmed and uncertain how to proceed - feeling a pressing need to do so.
Suddenly we feel so uncomfortable in our own skin, and with our current circumstances in one way or another - or in many ways to be honest.

We've learned a lot about ourselves and our true feelings lately. 
Our 'outer life is no longer in sync with our inner life'.
Or so it feels. 
We feel caged by the choices we have made in our 'not-self' (#HumnDesign ), 'not knowing better'.
Choices highly influenced by outer forces and opinions, because we didn't know who we were and what we truly wanted - and needed.
Following others' paths (or 'well meaning' guidance/advice) more often than not eventually make us feel trapped, small, weak, impoverished, empty, exhausted, and disconnected from the whole.

These last couple of days we've come in contact with this sensation to some extent, and probably also the root cause of it.
In one way it's been such a positive release (upright aces), as we've seen and felt our potential for something different - that we can make different choices from here (C7)!
But 'being right in the middle of it' is a bit overwhelming.

Lets be gentle with ourselves!
Like we would be with a scared little child or animal.
It's a process.
In this moment there's nothing that must be decided.
In this moment there are no changes that must be made.

Lets just be with the discomfort.
This is not about 'making change' or 'making the right choice', it's about allowing deep transformation - for a totally new chapter of our lives.
It takes time and discomfort/pressure to transform.
It wouldn't really help the butterfly to cut the pupa open to 'hurry the process' would it? :)
