The Land of Limbo

Even though I don't use hard and fast positions in my two card readings. I often think of the first card as the core. It's what's going on. The second is usually like the supporting actress, giving the reading, or main ingredient, a little seasoning. Take the two cards I drew last night before bed. I wanted to see where things are headed with the house move. In recent times, they have produced no more than doom and gloom, but yesterday evening's duo were bright and exuberant. The first card was The Sun, suggesting warmth, honesty, and positivity. I don't often receive this card, so it was a joy to turn it over with regards to our potential move. The second card was the 10 of Cups. For me, this indicated that the energising rays of The Sun are connected to completion and fulfillment. I mean, what illustration could be better? We see a family, happy and content, standing outside of their palace. With a window of a couple of months stamped on this reading, are things soon to liven up and gain momentum while the summer sun is still shining? I must say that the cards did make me wonder if our two year struggle to sell our house might soon be over.

If last night's cards represent the next few months in our plans to move, then today's cards definitely show where things are at this moment. The light of The Sun has been stripped away for the darkness of The Moon. This card symbolises uncertainty, which we are definitely feeling at the moment. We have had about three or four people through the door in the last month, but nobody has seriously nibbled at the bait. My dad dropped in and saw the estate agent last week and asked if they knew something we do not, but he said that despite nobody making an offer, the responses have all been good. One interpretation of The Hanged Man is suspension. Yup, I can definitely see that. We are swinging in the land of Limbo, with nothing much going on.

When something happens at night time, people often say, 'Let's sort it out in the morning' or 'There's nothing we can do about it until tomorrow'. When The Moon glides over a reading, it suggests a cycle that needs to be respected. That crab isn't rushing to get out of the pool of water and I think advice lingers there. We need to let this situation take it's course naturally. We cannot force people to buy our home and have already made sacrifices, such as decorating and having the tree cut for the better good of the sale. I am hoping that The Sun will soon shine over this situation, but until then, a little bit more patience is required.
