Romance, Love Or Relationships:

As with an upright meaning of this card, if you are clinging to a relationship that you are deeply unhappy in because you do not want to let go of the familiar, or because you hate to be alone, you are doing neither yourself or your partner any favors. However, when the card is in reverse, the problems are likely to be LESS major than they would be if the card was showing upright. Regardless, if you are in a difficult relationship now, it may be helpful to have a frank and honest discussion about the problem(s) you have with the relationship, and if they cant or wont make a change (or you cant or wont,) then perhaps its time to let it go. If you can be brave and take the chance of leaving the security of this relationship, you can find one that works much better. But first, you have to face the problem, and try to fix it. Not all relationships are fixable. Do not beat your head against a wall for very long. You’ll know when its long enough. If you are single and looking for love now, there may need to be a transformation in how you see yourself/an increase in your self esteem in order for love to come to you. Give it some thought.

Card Meanings: Immobility, Death, Fear Of Beginnings, Repeating Negative Patterns, Stagnation, Resisting Change, Inability To Move Forward, Slow Changes, Cheating

Despair can sometimes, but not often, indicate physical death, referring to a passing already happened. This card more often indicates transformation and change. This is definitely a time of deep transformation, likely to be both internally and externally in your life. Situations, things, and people that you have counted on or gotten used to may no longer be available to you in quite the same way as they once were. This transition can be very difficult for some people. The change though, is nearly always needed.

Book Details
Tarot Ultimate Guide: Spiritual- You will want to make sure that you are connecting to the right forces when you are reading your Tarot cards. This will mean that you will want to make sure that you are open to a positive energy to flow through you and into the cards. Make sure that you understand that after a reading, you may feel tired. This is natural. You are channeling so much energy that it can take a lot out of you. This will mean that you will need to set up time after a reading to calm yourself and rest. You will get better, and as you get better you will begin to channel more energy into the cards, so make sure that you are taking your time between readings so that you do not get burnt out.

Development for Beginners: Ancient Egypt is a highly researched and studied civilization, yet so much of it is shrouded in mystery – a fact which is likely due to the society’s wealth of paranormal activity and magical beliefs. Like the Greeks, ancient Egyptians consulted oracles to obtain knowledge and guidance from the gods. The enigmas of ancient Egypt, however, extend much deeper than just oracular consultations.
