person quietly rests

   Once previously, we had this tarot combination earlier in the year on October 12th - THE MESSENGER FEARS - which makes sense if we continue to read the cards as a group event involving multiple people.  Two months ago, we examined this event from the perspective of a mystical messenger who could help to alleviate the stress of this situation.  Today we can consider the victim's perspective, the person inside the situation who has been suffering:

   Today's querent has the outlook of a child.  As this person quietly rests, he or she is feeling sooooo relaxed, in spite of their nerves and some external stress.  This querent is enjoying a peace, despite being overwhelmed by some suffering they have recently gone through.  Because someone tried to inflict harm onto our querent, but the stress and suffering of that attack or situation has provided the querent with deeper insights into their environment.  While circumstances or opponents conspired to disturb the querent's stability, this person is determined to overcome restrictions, but they do need to heal and recoup, and that's why this person is resting today/right now.  Yes, this querent possesses the innocent outlook of a child, but they still have some experience out in the world.  They can bounce back, and after this recent change or setback, this person is  taking some time to rebuild faith and personal power.
