embrace new friends

    

nine of swords + ace of cups  

Today's intellectual querent is experiencing fear and worry, but the "plight" that this person faces isn't actually negative... (Nine of Swords)  In reality, today's intellectual querent is successfully embarking upon a new beginning, which might be the fresh start of a new romance (Ace of Cups).  New feelings that could and should be joyful are causing our querent to feel anxious, and perhaps this person isn't actually worried about the new romance - chances are that our querent's fear has been triggered by a private secret.  Being defensive and resisting the new beginning will only increase our querent's anguish.  Whenever it comes time to leave the past behind, our querent needs to shed all nostalgia and despair, and instead this person should embrace new friends and romantic partners.
