I have reached a point in my life where I want someone to tell me what to do and tell me everything will be okay. I don’t want a therapist, I don’t want to work through life’s many challenges and I don’t want to make any more decisions. Over the past year, I have outsourced this critical thinking to clairvoyants, tarot cards, palm readers, gurus and shamans.
Yes, I am kidding (I will not blindly follow the cards or mystics or anyone else), but it is kind of nice to have someone else tell you what you need to hear every once in a while. Sometimes they are spot on, sometimes they feel wildly off. Only time will tell. Below are some of the highlights.
Clairvoyant: I am an old soul, with blue energy and I don’t like people.
Tarot Cards: I am carrying a burden (something that is challenging at work like a big project) but it will wrap up in Spring and it will result in very good change or outcome
Palm Reader 1: I will have three great loves and three kids in my life (it was caveated that the great loves might not all be romantic and the three kids might not all be biological)
Palm Reader 2: I will be married twice (which the second palm reader delivered with a shrug that indicated that I was heading for a divorce). It could be that I was one of the last readings of the night and she was done with all of the drunkards
Shaman: A really good opportunity will come my way in 6-18 months, I will sell something big in about 3 years and in the meantime I need to focus on making the most of the quiet time (including investing in younger self me and my relationship with Martin)
Energy Reader: She sensed a dichotomy between my mind and my second chakra. I need to listen to the little kid in me and focus on a passion project I have been thinking about for a while (something similar was also said by my Shaman)
And finally, while not from a guru, shaman or other worldly individual… my year of the snake ended with a terrible cold and me spending all day Sunday in bed and on the coach on Monday. Hopefully I have officially shed last year's old skin and am ready to embrace the energy and transformation in store during the year of the fire horse!
