Phoenix

Death is the card that most haunts my readings at the moment.

I am taking that in the best light possible under the circumstances.

Of course there is death. I have just moved cities. I am starting a new job. I have left friends and people I care about. I have left someone special to me, knowing that my leaving will be the end of it.

But with death, the cards tell us, is rebirth. Rebirth means new beginnings, possibilities, reinvention, new life.

But birth, never mind rebirth is always painful. Just ask a mother.

So I am going through pangs at the moment. I feel a sense of loss and I am questioning if I have done the right thing. I am optimistic about the future but never the less, anxious.

Whatever happens, I will deal with it. But I know that I must endure the transition from death into new life and bear it with courage and fortitude and and an outward appearance of confidence.
