My question: would a business cooperation with A&M (or with either A & M ) be a good idea?

posted May 24, 2014 04:24 PM            

About this cooperation you are thinking of:

Are there are some serious apprehensions around this from your end? Was this a project or idea that was suggested before that you originally said no to? Was this project difficult to get off the ground? There is some definite apprehension about this….feeling very apathetic at the moment. Does the project lack energy or even initiative at times?

Twirl, do you feel pressure surrounding this in some way? There is a lot of guilt/and or responsibility surrounding what you need to know about joining with the two of them—are the two of them piggybacking off each other? Did they know or work together before? The hermit is the final card which shows you going it alone. I feel like these two people approached you with bells and whistles and you are sitting back saying, “Wait just one minute!!!!” The final card is The Hermit—for this situation, I would say:

1.) Continue to research and folloing your own path, delve deeper into what is being presented to you. This may require time away from the situation (or literally the people involved) so that you can come to your own conclusion

2.) Walk away from this situation completely, and find success on your own if you have other initiatives you’d like to start

Does A happen to be a woman? Either way, this person is feisty, confident and appears to be a spitfire, good at talking a lot of game—kind of like the showman of the project, makes sure things look good and sound good-- but you know, the cards show that A is actually more reflective than what they appear to be—which is fine. But, in the cards, I sense vacillation, or inactivity on their part. This person talks a good talk, but may not be completely reliable. Do you sense this?

Is M more the ideas person? Always bubbling with some intent? Was this person the one who originally proposed this idea? This person is really forward thinking and into the future. I would say, taking the advice of The Hermit (either going it alone, or taking some time out to reflect on possible business ventures, if you are eager to continue in that route,) it looks as if M may be the better choice of the two…M definitely has their eyes on the future!! They have the plans mapped out and the perception to have long-range goals. Between the two, M seems to be focused on results. So I would continue with them, if still seeking to work on the project.

Sorry, did not see it. Was travelling most of day. Thanks so much! I will get to yours asap or do you have a question you rather see answered with cards?

There is some apprehension, but the cooperation is my idea. Since we are also friends, I'm not sure.
The difficulties/pressure: it's too much to arrange it all myself. It's not efficient & tiring. I need to start delegating. I think that may be what you picked up.

They are both women & friends. I can relate to what you say about them. I would really love to have M. as a full time employee/equal cooperation (not possible now). She is very pro-active. The other one is more talk as well, but very good arranging things too.

By the way, did you pull the 9 swords? That card is haunting me. I think it may represent stress levels.

I didn't pull the 9 of swords, would you like to know the cards?

2 of swords/ clarified by 4 of cups

10 of wands/ clarified by 2 of cups

The Hermit

A = Queen of Wands/The Hanged Man

M= Ace of Wands/3 of Wands

The Hermit I felt was the key.....now this makes sense since you mentioned that you started yourself and this was your ideas--of course!

In regards to the reading, I don't have anything on the agenda right now, let's see what the reading says in general?

posted May 26, 2014 01:35 PM            

First thing I notice is that there's a lot of things (people?) actually hovering above you or you "not being in control" yourself. Too much focussed on what others want/expect of you. Altough I'm sure it will not feel that way (feeling like you are in control and/or trying to give yourself enough space to meet the others demands).
First off, it looks like mainly female influences are putting some kind of mark on you/on your life.
There seems to be quite some adjusting to those "outward demands"/"what you feel is expected of you". In that sense the path you currently are walking comes strongly from a community feel/what's been taught to you.

Also here, I'm not trying to fill to much from what I already know, but is there still some secret love going on/a secret admiration?
I do see the love for your work field. I'm not sure if the traditional publishing is something you now tried to move away from (recently?), but it seems to suit you very well (the traditional publishing) & I have the feeling it will show up for you in future again. So it's not gone if that is what you thought/decided. If you will first work (or already do work) behind the scenes now, I think you will be allowed to step up later. I am assuming you are either being hired and/or will work for a woman in the future. Someone with balls. It may take some while to manifest though.

Feels like there's both some inner and outward tension going on in your life now. Feeling very divided within your self & the needs and wants. Not the easiest period so to speak. That's not bad, but I can imagine it can feel tiring for you. Especially since the main thing currently feels like 'enduring' it & not give up. That is the right attitude though, so keep feeding yourself with those ideas. You will come out on top.

In general it also feels like you try to control and/or hide your sensitivity. You are in fact very gentle & sensitive, but it's okay to let that part just be instead of trying to 'brush it of'. It's a strength, not a weakness.
So in general it feels like you have to "do some violence to the self" - either because you think that is what it takes/expected of you to get somewhere in life (job - love - etc). You are however very strict towards yourself & you may loosen the grip on you.
That's mainly what I'm getting for you now. Hope this resonates.
Not seeing a partner currently, but it strongly feels because of the past one and/or some secret admiration. An internet connection and/or romancing online, I do see as a future possibility. But it feels like it would be more to explore 'being attractive' & getting in touch with that feeling again, then a real date.

Oh, thanks! Definitely M! Already asked A first though :-/ but I said to A I would also ask M. A&M know each Other much longer then that I know them. They go way back.

Cards make much sense! Thanks

Yes, this resonates. I have quite a few mother figures around me, and I consult them--but sometimes, it's a bit like I have conform to them a lot, since they are "older and wiser" than I am. In addition, I do feel that way--as if I have to bend to pressure--not from them per se (although that is there), but also to society as well.

Thank God there is a mention of publishing! Whoo hooo!!! Looking forward to that! :-) Right now I just got an assignment for a contract position that will last a few months, but afterwards, I'll need to get on my game again.

This has started to happen....started talking to a guy last week, but that fizzled. He was very vain. Apparently, I didn't meet his standards! I just tried it out just to see as you said--about getting "out there." For now, I am leaving anything romance focused alone. Probably for a very long time.

Thanks for the reading Twirl! Everything resonated with me! You are talented for sure! :-)

A friend of mine just found herself a bf through online dating (& she was very anti & we worked on meditations etc. to open up to luvvv for a while - & it really works brilliantly). So yes, you can!
