I totally get that 💕 I struggle with executive dysfunction and it can really be a killer. The trick is to find what makes you get your butt into gear. It will be different for each person but I've heard some fun ones like pretending to be a Sim that has a task list, or putting on elf ears to clean while pretending to be a tavern wench lol

The Emperor.

You've got to take action, take control of something, take ownership. You cannot expect the outcome you want by remaining passive. These things will not fall into your lap, you must seek them out and put in the effort to achieve them. Control, discipline, and power are words I tend to associate with the Emperor card.

The guidebook mentions a silent presence. You do not need to be loud or boisterous about your power or experience. Simply have confidence in what you have and be prepared to back it up if necessary. No need to prove yourself or show off.

A few other things mentioned could be of relevance: a father figure, a man of great influence, important changes, shifts in power, stability, authority and responsibility.

Thank you so much for your question. 🩷

I pulled the hierophant and 7 of cups.

I feel like there‘s a tradition you‘re gonna give up, regarding either college culture or maybe your style of studying. A lot of trial and error, but eventually you‘ll get there. Before you make any big decisions, ask yourself if this is the direction you wanna go in, if it‘s a choice that represents you - or something you just think you should do.

Hello again! I’m glad to hear aspects of it resonated with you!

I'll answer this one as the other one you sent in was more third party in nature, but as a hint to your other question, think a woman with power (;

The Empress

For this question: now's the time to either begin or add to an initiative or project. Fruitfulness and abundance are around the corner and your job is to give them a headstart by taking action. Do it in secret though - only announce the finished product, as getting too vocal about it now will lead to doubt and difficulty in completing it. Sometimes the unknown is more powerful than you may think.

Perhaps you are under some strain, some sort of pressure that keeps you from living up to your full potential. You may be feeling some emotional instability. The problem is your lack of commitment. You are questioning yourself and your foundations. You are also likely feeling rather restless and unfulfilled.

You have an opportunity for introspection. If you can find clarity amidst this strain, you will find yourself growing emotionally as a writer. Take some time to see what is causing these tensions. You also need to redefine what achievement means to you and what is worthy of celebration. Commit to your goals and commit your emotions instead of shying away from them. Perhaps you are feeling unwelcome and unsupported in certain spaces related to your art/writing. Do not let this deter you. De-clutter your space. keep creating even if you do not necessarily get the validation you want. Don't let your worth hinge on others' opinions of your work. Use your emotions to create. I know it's scary but bare yourself to the world.

Tl;dr: You seek external validation which is precisely what is causing you dissatisfaction. A lack of community might be causing you to feel unfulfilled and confused. I feel your works lacks emotion, by which I mean that you are scared to fully embrace your feelings and put them in your work. Perhaps you think it's too personal or too desperate so you try to steer clear of doing that. Your emotions are chaotic. Use them in your work. Commit to your goals and do it properly. You fear external judgment.
