don't be too hard

this tarot card came up for me today...
it is a good reminder to not be too hard
on others, on ourself, on it all...
this if especially important to keep in mind as we move thru this time of the new year when we all make goals and resolutions...





Justice

This card reminds us that true justice is an act of mercy not cruelty.
Often we look at justice as "an eye for an eye" and not as an act of
discipline.
Discipline is not the same as punishment.
We must learn
to become self-disciplined without punishing or berating ourselves.
Often we try to live up to concepts or ideals that are impossible to
attain,
setting ourselves up for certain failure.

When this card
comes up we are told to reflect on ways that we are unjust to ourselves.
Time to stop exacting punishment and develop acceptance
and compassion.
Negativity is a repeating cycle that had to be
recognized, understood, and then broken.

Today be mindful of the demands you place on yourself,
or
if you
haven't been disciplined enough lately, tighten the reigns a bit.
Now
is a good time for clear, decisive intentions and action.
Direct your
thoughts and deeds towards healthier areas.
