instead of waiting

    

eight of cups + five of wands

Someone harbors the feeling that something important is missing, and there has been some conflict over this missing element, but the message of today's tarot combination is to quit trying.  Instead of waiting for things to improve with others, go deep within.  Recent competition and tensions have been immature.  Abandon the violence with enemies, because that unfulfilling situation is a dead-end.  Let yourself search and find your “inner” need, as you seek spiritual fulfillment.  Stop trying to fit in and/or imitate those around you.

Today's cards are from the Lotus Tarot.
