Nothing to Hold On To

From the Sheridan-Douglas Tarot, the Eight of Batons; from the Pages of Shustah, Angel of Autumn:

“Nothing to hold on to” is the root of happiness. There’s a sense of freedom when we accept that we’re not in control. —Pema Chödrön

The Eight of Batons indicates things are happening quickly, that what we've worked for or anticipated is coming in for a landing. Will things go as planned? Will the results be what we hope for? The Angel of Autumn encourages us to release our expectations and welcome what arrives. With wisdom we can realize that how things turn out are not always up to us, no matter how much we've planned and prepared. And with that mindset, we can respond appropriately to whatever turns up.
