A Different Perspective

Card 2:  Emotional Focus -- Shows where you need to focus your emotional energy for the best benefit.  This card offers a suggestion for how work more productively with your emotions.  It shows how your feelings and emotions could be hindering you in regard to the issue you are considering or working on.

Card 3:  Intuitive Issue -- This represents a "gut feeling" that you may have blocked.  It could be something you have ignored -- or some nagging detail that you haven't taken care of . . . possibly something that is unpleasant and difficult enought that you tend to avoid the issue, but also the avoidance of such issue contributes to your sense of stagnation or defeat on the matter at hand.  This is an area that needs to be resolved.

Card 4:  Solid Footing -- This card offers information on how to find "solid footing" once again in your important endeavors or ideas.  This represents the prerequisite for that difficult "next step" which you are seeking -- the step that can seem to elusive to you.  A challenging or problematic ard here will suggest what you may need to do first in order to see it more clearly . . . and to trust that you can stand firmly in your new position once you finally do act on the movement suggested by this card for "solid footing."

Card 5:  Next Step -- Wondering which direction your next step is?  This card follows from dealing with the matter from the card above.  Information from this card shows how to progress again, although realize that this step could be stalled and even impossible to work through until matters of card 4 (solid footing) have been more completely solved and worked through.

Card 6:  Hinge -- While card 4 talks about an actual condition for which you need to provide, create, or fortify in order for card 5's energy to properly manifest . . . this card (Hinge), describes some choice you need to make or something that needs to happen in order to define your real desires and move with resolution toward a defintie direction.  This could represent an option you have to claim, a commitment, a decision, or something within your intentions.  It could be something fairly intangible in tought, vision, or attitude.  Here is where half-hearted commitments or "wishy-washy" determination may have hindered you and slowed down progress.  Until that gets fixed . . . nothing else is likely to go anywhere.

Card 7:  Outside Resources -- What can other people supply or help you with?  Here is where you can begin to look at potential allies, outside resourdes, or the talents and efforts of others that could assist you in what you want to accomplish.  It's possible that you don't have to do it all yourself.  Help may be available, and this card will show you what or who might be of help to you.

Card 8:  Responsibility -- What do I have to do myself?  What is my responsibility.  This card definies your main responsibiliy in this matter.  It can show where you might be falling short, how you tend to "get in your own way," and/or what your essential role is in the matter so that you can meet your responsibilities more fully.
 

If you are feeling stuck, stagnant, or stalled on some issue of importance to you and need to regain a sense of "solid footing" once again . . . sometimes it's a matter of looking at things from a "different perspective" -- and thus, the title of this reading.

This reading is designed to help you determine what a stalled situation requires of you.  This reading helps you to deal with a situation that has you feeling stalled and confused -- possibly even to the point of despair.  It shows you how to either move out of the situation . . . or to reach again for a goal that does seem more worthwhile to you (even if it such a goal appears frustratingly out of reach to you.)

The experience of this reading offers you a chance to pull back, rethink your directions, and realign your intentions . . . and decide exactly how to get moving once again.  Perhaps you need to rediscover a sense of determination and motivation.  You may need to realize your source of allies . . . or more clearly see an alternate approach . . . and perhaps a whole new perspective than you originally started with.
