Dear Amy,

The card of The Past has come up for you and offers some insight into your question, which I will also explain in more detail as it relates to your concern:
You will find yourself dealing with all issues from the Past, such as family, friends, money, feelings, lawsuits, papers, and health.  No time to avoid.  Deal with these issues and move on.
Amy, it seems that your new venture has the potential to be successful once any past issues are settled.  Some issues that may seem to be affecting your new venture can be related to family issues, friends, money, feelings, lawsuits, papers, or health -- as indicated by the card.  If there are any issues, such as these mentioned, that need to be handled, then it will be vital to the success of your business to take care of them first.  Tie up any loose ends that you feel might be hanging and need your undivided attention.  Let nothing from your past hinder your efforts.

If there are things you have been "putting off" or avoiding, now is the time to take care of them.  You won't want anything to stand in the way of your future success.  And according to the card drawn for you, if you handle all the things that need taken care of, then you will finally be able to move on and progress.  This card encourages you to start your new venture from the perspective of a "clean slate" where everything is in order and accounted for.  If you can do this, then your chances of success are quite good.  However, if you leave things undone . . . then such a state of disorganization can get in the way of the progress you want to achieve.   Tend to all the small details, in addition to the bigger ones.  If you can manage to take care of anything that might be causing delays or other issues of concern -- especially anything related in some way to the past -- then you can find yourself like the wolf in the picture of this card . . . walking away from old, worn out things (and ideas) . . . and moving on to something much better :-)  It's essentially a chance to have something new in your life that can be most welcome for you . . . but first, remember any loose ends and things that must be done, and then you'll be on your way.

Wishing you the very best!!
