in the midst

  

five of wands + four of cups  

In the midst of a conflict (Five of Wands), today's competitive querent is being questioned in some way, and so this person must re-evaluate how he or she is renouncing something or someone.  In this conflict, our querent has led from their heart, but they overlooked or underestimated the negativity that would result from their renunciation (Four of Cups).  In this conflict, the querent's emotional argument will ultimately win, but it will require that someone - either the querent or renounced person - must move on and away from comfort.

Today's cards are from the Royal Road.
