Fighting others as just another way to fight oneself.

I just hate it when I need to take my own advice. I hate it more when I don’t see the need until we trip the “unavoidable” switch.

“Fast study, fast study, fast study,” I will myself. “Pay attention to the taps so you can duck the slaps,” is my motto. Doesn’t mean I’ll always live up to it.

The Five of Wands speaks of battle, but this version Legacy of the Divine tends to appear when there are elements of internal conflict, perhaps unrecognized. All the combatants are coming from the same tree—they are related,  whether they want to acknowledge that in the heat of battle or not.

Feeling frustrated? The internal component may be getting overshadowed by the wailing and gnashing of teeth over external foes. What do you have in common? In what ways do you behave the same as the other here?

If you feel yourself shrinking back, recoiling or retracting, frustrated or confused, ask WHY. Not worrying what the other person is doing, look at your own role and investment. I’m thinking today, right now, take whatever is bugging you to be a tap on the shoulder. Pay heed or expect a slap to follow.

You dealing with conflict?

  1. Seems to me that this can be the “reason” for yesterday’s lack of balance card, Dixie. Internal conflict always keeps the scales off balance. It sure feels good when the internal conflict starts to dissipate and I can see a way forward. On to the 6!
