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."

Stockpiling

From the Alchemical Renewed Tarot, the Seven of Swords; from the Oracle of the Radiant Sun, Saturn in Pisces:



We have a choice every day to do whatever we do, and that choice is quite scary because it could absolutely change everything about our lives. 
—Andrew Haigh

This fox is building an arsenal, readying for a battle of words. He is like people who, instead of having a hard conversation, save up everything someone else says. Then after months go by, they blow up and hit the other person with a truck load of words, reminding them of all that was said in the past. It's a lot easier to fix something small than to wait until it's become enormous. The discipline and responsibility of Saturn arrive in the empathy and escapism of Pisces. Dealing with big emotions can be scary (and sometimes we do need to wait a beat). But to stuff things down for a long time rather than accepting responsibility for communicating them can result in a collapse of the relationship when things finally explode. It's time to replace those old communication habits with some healthier ones.
