The Energy-Sucker

It's kind of interesting that after the preparation of the harvest that we witnessed in yesterday's card, we are shown the actual harvest in today's. The man and woman, who could easily be the god and goddess, gather the sheaves and bind them. The card addresses the fruits of our labour. Therefore, I can expect to receive in accord to the amount of effort I have put in. You might see it as a 'matched energy' that is returned to the originator.

To be honest, I don't feel as though I have put much out there in recent months, so I am not expecting too much back. It would be nice to receive reward from the work I did through January to July, but the slate feels wiped once again. I guess the card could be suggesting that if I want a better harvest next time, I need to put some more effort in now. It is both apathy and a lack of energy that is holding me back. I always want to put off until tomorrow, what I could potentially have a stab at today.

Today's trio from the Teen Oracle provide a warning. The central card lets us know that something must end. Similarly, we have a shield beside us which I imagine is for protection. But what do we need protection from? I'd say it's the vampire on the left. In this case, he represents something or someone who drains us of energy. I woke up aching this morning; my neck hurt and so did my arms. The vampire in question could be my fatigue or he might be someone close that is using me or my time up. I might need to rest up or hold my shield in the direction of those who's expectations are too high.

The end of the year is nigh. Our social activities are about to take a slight jump, since we are going to a party tomorrow night and are spending Sunday with my boyfriend's family. The vampire lurks within pints of Guinness and those who don't think guests can attend a New Years Eve party without getting paralytic. He dwells in people who ask how I am just because they want to tell me how they are. I need to be conscious of these energy-suckers over the next couple of days.
