mental overload

    

temperance + four of swords

In the past, today's querent had been experiencing mental overload.  However, this balanced person has begun to proactively handle their fear with patience and moderation (Temperance card), which helps this person to maintain stability with an opposing force or adversary. Resting in peaceful, our querent has stepped away from a stressful situation or environment by moving into a sanctuary where they can slow down and feel safe (Four of Swords).  This tranquil place of refuge restores the querent's inner calm, so that whenever s/he returns to the stressful situation, s/he should be able to protect themself from fear and emotional distress.

Today's cards are from the Fantastical Creatures Tarot.
