Waiting to Inhale
Hi Maribeth, I have been in a relationship for years but it really hasn’t gone any further than seeing each other when we’re not working. He had a bad marriage and I feel like I’m paying for it. I love him but I’m not sure if it’s just that he has been in my life for so long. He took me out on my 21st birthday and now I’m 54. So much time is flying by and I just don’t feel as happy as I know I could be. Please help. Also I bought a building six years ago and want to open a Victorian Tea Parlour. It is located on a quaint historical street in Cranston, Rolfe St. Please give me some in sight as to whether or not this is the time to move forward. Thank You
Sincerely,
Sheila
I remember walking to the library on Rolfe Street every Saturday when I was in grade school. It is a quaint place. You ask two very different questions, but the cards have a way of pulling it all together for us. Your reading gave us the 4 of Pentacles, the 2 of Cups and The Emperor.
The 4 of Pentacles shows that you are a person who holds on to what she knows and is comfortable with. In order to grow, you need to let go and open up to new opportunities. Your insecurities are holding you back! Think of yourself as a winner, a person who has great gifts to share. By holding on to the familiar, you are keeping your life the same, and apparently you are not happy with that. If you keep doing what you always did, you’ll always get what you always got. You’ve been in a relationship for a very long time that is obviously not giving you want you want or need, and, you bought property 6 years ago without pursuing your dreams for that either. What are you waiting for? This card is about security. If you are looking for security in your relationship or your business, you must take a risk in order to achieve it. By not taking any action, you are simply watching the clock tick as time marches on.
The 2 of Cups in the center shows you coming together with another person to share each of your gifts. Perhaps you would be more comfortable starting your new business with a partner. If you are waiting for this man to come to your rescue so you are more comfortable taking the risk of opening a business for yourself, then you need to tell him that. Since you haven’t received what you expect from this relationship in 33 years, I suggest you start thinking about yourself and doing things on your own. That is a long time to wait for someone else to step up to the plate!
The Emperor shows you taking control and putting your foot down in both areas of your life. It’s time to get serious, Sheila. You believed in yourself enough to buy this building and you need to invest in your dreams now. He’s either in or he’s out, but the truth is that this is about you, not him. The wait is over. It’s time to embrace your independence. For you, 2008 is about believing in yourself enough to share your gifts, in both your relationship and your business. Good luck!
