The Seven of Swords

The Lord of Futility represents the times in life where we feel too overwhelmed and doubtful to act decisively toward our problems. It will usually appear when there are difficult decisions to be made, or when situations arise that require we take action. Because we are weary, feeling over-stressed and helpless, we do nothing. As a result, of course, things inevitably get worse.

Sometimes the card will come up because we have such a poor view of ourselves. We start to believe that nothing we do could possibly make a difference to the unhappy circumstances we find ourselves in. If not challenged, this attitude will lead us into being poor-little-me's, when we adopt a victim mentality, and secretly expect everybody else to sort things out for us.

When feeling the effects of the Lord of Futility, we are often ready to make unsuitable compromises in order to try to ease the pressure we experience. We can be more easily impressed by other people's opinions, seeking to please them - often at our own expense. We vacillate, unable to stick to any decision we make. And all of this does nothing much more than increase our problems.

Neither of these options is viable, if we are to live a happy love-filled life, is it? So when this card appears in a reading for ourselves, we need to be prepared to commit ourselves to a course of action and then follow through. Even if it transpires that the choice we make could have been bettered, any choice is better than no choice at all, when the alternative is total inertia.

Often fear will be a big issue - fear of doing something wrong, fear of taking responsibility, fear of being even more hurt and feeling worse than we already do.

In the end, we simply have to take our courage in both hands and, like The Fool, take that leap forward. The fact that we have acted will help us to break from of the Lord of Futility and to move on.

The Three Options - May 2, 2010

While driving across the United States last week, I read a billboard that said. "No services for another 200 miles."
You've got to be kidding! I muttered.
Immediately below the first sentence arrived another one on the sign.
"Just kidding" it read.
A few moments later, I said outloud, "I'm getting really hungry." Immediately a sign appeared by the side of the road for a restaurant called 'The Hungry Traveler.'

Note from MM:

These things indeed happen on a daily basis.
There was a spider in my kitchen and I looked at it, I thought (unconsciously):
"Please go away" - for a second I looked away from the spot and when I looked back, it was gone.
These things are numerous, during the past weeks, they've grown into me thinking: "There must be something wrong with me, take a pill, Marina ;-)"
If we try to make it a conscious thought: "Go away spider, now", ofcourse, nothing happens, so don't bother ...

What is ALSO an interesting factor is that 'dark' is pulling it strings like a madman, trying to survive. This means that really weird things are happening around us.
Total madness in others.
At least, that is how we percieve it, with one eyebrow raised...

Are you still in touch with your self-esteem?
Did you learn your lessons, was a self-esteem-boost neccesary?
Embrace for more 'test' and don't be surprised if you use power-words to put people into place.
Do you set bounderies? Need a lesson? Embrace that test as well.
Use the TUFF LOVE when neccesary. I tweeted the other day: tHere is always one question to every answer : "What would LOVE do NOW ...."

Which doesn't mean, btw, that you never use harsh words?!!

Madness. I have no other word for it.
Meanwhile, have fun, enjoy the sun and while you're in the mood for all OPtions:
