today's wise querent

    

  the hermit + ten of wands  

Today's wise querent is taking a step back and moving away from other people (the Hermit).  Walking away from outside influences, this person is contemplating the burden of accomplishment.  Knowledge can create and/or increase one's duty (Ten of Wands).  In the grace of solitude, this querent thinks about the external pressure that comes with obligation, and s/he is examining this plus other uncomfortable feelings.  Our querent might feel that their current inner search for truth is also uncomfortable.  Externally and internally, it seems this querent carries a general feeling of being mistreated, abused, burdened, and pessimistic.

We had the Hermit yesterday - AFTER LOSS.  We can assume today continues to be the same querent who felt emotionally rejected and/or dejected.  Today confirms that right now our querent is having an inner experience that is only for him- or herself.  However, it's important to note that this querent may be physically surrounded by other people.  For example, our querent may be leadership at the top level of an organization, but recently it has been a heavy duty trying to get others in the organization to see things as the querent does, so this leader's efforts leave him or her feeling unsupported and isolated and abit miserable.  Whether our querent is top level management in an organization, a lead teacher in an educational setting, or anybody else, today's tarot advice is to take things slowly as you contemplate and execute the burden of accomplishment.  Also, accept guidance and assistance that might be helpful.

Today's two cards are from my favorite deck, the Morgan-Greer Tarot, published in 1979.
