I use tarot and oracle cards as tools for reflection and contemplation. Rather than divining the future, they are a way for me to look more deeply at the "now."

Right Action

From the Anna K Tarot, the Five of Wands; from the Meditation Cards, 'Affective Influence:'
          Rather than aggression, this Five of Wands seems to be about clarification - proving that one stance is better than another. Several points of view will be battling it out, and the winner will be based on who has the strongest information and strategy. Yet the Affective (emotional) Influence card hints that our reasoning skills might get muddied:
In your path there is no thorn or weed, but yourself.~ Awhadoddin Kermani
How do we keep our emotions from affecting our decision-making skills? First, we must acknowledge the feeling and recognize it as such. Second, we would do well to follow Lao Tzu's advice:
Do you have the patience to wait
till your mud settles and the water is clear?
Can you remain unmoving
till the right action arises by itself?

    No one wins, when we try to make another wrong.
