Five of Wands

The card I choose today for the tarot was the FIVE OF WANDS. It is from the STEAMPUNK tarot.
     This is about conflict. We are all afraid of conflict and want to agree with everyone. Or else want to get our way no matter what. We do not always see the other side of a situation or problem or person.
      We have to realize that getting up in the morning is conflict. Should we arise now or sleep five more minutes. And on and on. We make conflict within ourselves when we are bored. Need excitement.  When we can't make decisions we have conflict. All sorts of things can bob up within ourselves to cause conflict. Then there are the weird little things put there by some evil empire that we believe is against us.
       We make the mistake in trying to confront conflict, find a reason for it, believe it is there to stop us. Control us.
        We need to know conflict has existed since the beginning of time. Morning and night. Good and evil. Sleep or awake. Happy or sad.
         Conflict creates energy, fire, excitement. Makes us think. Be creative. We have to find a way around the problem. We must solve it. The fire gives us the energy to face the conflict. Find a solution. Solve the problem. But we must be care with all this energy. All the creative problems that are presented. Things can get urgent. Pressured. Make wrong decisions. Demand more from ourselves than is available. Danger lurks. Our breathing shortens. What should we do? How?
         Now is the time to meditate.  Calm the mind and body. First list your goal. Three things you need to do. Then just meditate. Let the solution come in dreams.  Go slow. You have working on something about achieving this goal. You are almost there. But there is a twist in the road, the plan. All you have to do is relax. Go back to your goal. State it again. "This is want I want to achieve."
This is what I have to work with. what can do now. This is what I have to spend. I can build this one step at a time. It will fall into place. The next step will be revealed when I need it. I do not have to worry.
       Let the others fight it out. Then your Spirit Guides will direct you in the right direction. Rest and be thankful. Meditate and trust your gut. You will find the path. You will lose the fear. You will learn from this and be able to achieve the greatness you want.
