By Derek John Thomas / June 17, 2023 There are times when we realize we are working at cross purposes. Perhaps there is a person or a group of people who, while they aren’t working in direct opposition to us, the things they do impede our progress with what we are trying to do. There are also times when we feel at a deadlock because people are actually working against us. In some circumstances, our environment isn’t hospitable to our designs; perhaps resources aren’t available, or the structures that should be in place aren’t quite there yet, or other circumstances impede our work. There are also times when that conflict is internal. Perhaps we have competing interests, and because they draw attention from each other, we don’t get far with either of them. We might also hold opposing beliefs about our ability to do or become something which also stand in our way. There are many things that could prevent us from moving forward, and sometimes our reactions to those impediments is less than helpful. That is what this week’s tarot and oracle spread wants to discuss with us. It also shows two possible pitfalls and a way to navigate them.
