 and Butler associate this card with dark matter, stuff that can't be 
seen (it doesn't reflect or emit enough light to be detected).  Like the
 wind, it can be identified by its effect on other things - its 
gravitational influence.  Scientists seem to know more about what it is 
not than what it is.  Like dark matter, sometimes I can't see the whole 
picture of a situation.  It may be because I don't have all the facts, 
because my emotions keep me from seeing clearly, or because I am rigidly
 holding on to fixed beliefs.  Whatever the case, this is not an 
auspicious time for making decisions.  I need to wait patiently and try 
to develop an objective view.

Elliptical
 galaxies are roundish or egg-shaped and are made of old stars coming to
 the end of their lives.  There is little dust and gas to make new 
formations, so creation seems to be at a standstill.  I was talking to a
 woman the other day who described her church in the same way - there 
were no new members coming in, and all the older members had no desire 
for fresh, innovative ideas.  If I isolate myself away from others and 
away from learning new ideas, I begin to stagnate.  When I am in this 
rut, I avoid listening to my Higher Self, and instead rely on my ego, 
who is content to maintain the status quo.  There may be times when I 
need make decisions and go in new directions, but my ego will be in no 
rush to pack my lunch and send me out the door...
