No Hurt Feelings
Hi Maribeth,
I have been working as a massage therapist for over a year alongside my friend and have just begun to take steps to open my own center. This has been a painful process for us both - is there something I could do to ease the growing pains? Thanks!

Your cards show that you are in a fabulous position for the changes you are making to your life. You deserve this opportunity and the success that comes with it! The Queen of Wands, the 2 of Wands and the 3 of Cups came up for your reading.
The Queen of Wands is a woman with an entrepreneurial spirit who is ready to take on life’s challenges. With her right hand firmly gripping the large wand and her left hand gently holding the sunflower, it appears that she understands how to apply pressure to accomplish her goals. The wand with its sprouting leaves and the sunflower in full bloom remind us that she has the power to stimulate growth. She appears to be seated at the edge of her throne as though she is ready to get up and take action at a moment’s notice. This is exactly the kind of energy it takes to open your own center. Everyone in the United States can create opportunities to take on more responsibility. You may notice that some people take advantage of this and some don’t. You are. That’s the first step toward making your dream come true. Your friend could also take similar steps, depending on her personality and where she wants to be in life. You are not responsible for her, only for yourself. It sounds like both of you, at times, may be having difficulty making that separation.
The Two of Wands symbolizes choices. How we choose to spend our days determines where we go in the world. In order to open your own center you have to walk away from where you are now. The way he is gazing into that globe reminds us that obviously you can’t stay so that your friend doesn’t get upset. You must make a choice to follow your heart. This is the only way to improve your chances for getting to where you hope to be in the future.
The wand behind him that is firmly clipped to the wall tells us that what you are walking away from is secure. You have established a good friendship and have proven your capabilities. Anyone who is not supportive of you following your heart must be jealous and wishing they had your courage.
The 3 of Cups is a card of celebration! Your friends are truly happy for you and will help you to grow into your new space. Making your dream come true is not something that will happen alone. You are setting a great example and your friend can learn a lot by sharing in helping you build your dream. Perhaps it will help her to define her own niche. This is a wonderful outcome because it shows everyone benefiting in the end. It looks like the best way to ease the growing pains is to include her in the creation of your dream and let her know it does not change your relationship. Be specific about your plans and make it as quick as possible to avoid rumors and keep everyone in the loop. People will always talk (usually because they are envious), but if you are honest about your plans, you can keep clarity. If done with these things in mind, it looks like it can even bring you closer! Good luck and have fun at the Open House!
