Conflict, Change and Reason
From the PetraK Tarot, the Five of Wands; from the Astrodice, Uranus-Capricorn-7th House:
This painting doesn't have the combative feeling of most Five of Wand cards. The gentle undulations of the water between the posts seem more like a calm discussion between folks who care about each other. Instead of being argumentative, there is more brainstorming and sharing the pros and cons of the situation. From the glowing center pole, it appears a solution or strategy has been reached. In the Astrodice, the radical change of Uranus meets with the orderly progression of Capricorn in the House of Relationships. I got a phone call last night, one that took the breath right out of me. It is definitely a Five of Wands situation with an ending that left my heart aching for everyone involved. Hopefully I can be a calming (orderly rather than impulsive) influence on the parties involved.

I really hate being in the middle of things, as I truly care about both parties in this situation. But perhaps bringing calm and compassion to the table is what everyone needs right now.
DeleteA life lesson that took me a long time to learn was to allow people the courtesy of their choices, whatever decisions they made. Once I got the hang of it not butting in was a brilliant solution. Although keeping my lips buttoned is a life long task
