The Emperor, Steampunk Tarot

Beware of succumbing to or get lost in 'control' or linear thinking today!

It might appear as there is something we must 'take control over', but it isn't.
It's just a lingering illusion sourced in an old outdated fear that still tries to seduce us to 'be and act logically', and to 'think survival'.
It's the 'programming speaking'.
We must take any thinking involving 'shoulds' and 'what ifs' with a great deal of salt!

It is just 'old ways' trying to get back in control. Making us second guess ourselves and doubt our 'knowings'.
This might very well be mirrored in our outer lives - people 'questioning' or 'challenging' us in one way or another. Urging us implicitly or explicitly) to 'get in the lines' or 'excuse ourselves', as our authentic way of behaving, acting and speaking might be perceived as annoying, uncomfortable or even disrupting - to the status quo. To the 'we/I have always done it this way' kind of people that is.
Our own lingering fear and uncertainty mirrored back to us.

Therefore it may also be a day that tempt us to 'defend ourselves', 'explain ourselves', or 'get up on high horses' one way or another - there are many possible expressions of fear.
'Feeling helpless' being another bedfellow. 'Making' us give up all control instead and put on the unflattering #VictimCoat - and/or we might encounter victim behavior in another.

A day to practice transcending all this, and focus on authenticity - at all costs!
