Reversed Meaning
Keywords:
Unexpected Change – Resistance to Change – Setbacks – Breaking Cycles
Delays – Low Time In Life
As a Person:
This is someone who can’t handle even the smallest amount of change. They fight it, fear it and treat it like its the end of the world. Their world can be incredibly hard and painful because of this. They seem to be thrown about by the life and its constant change instead of having balance of their own emotions. They feel they are living on a constant roller coaster and project themself accordingly.
As a Situation/Experience:
This is a time in your life when the Universe doesn't seem to be on your side. You feel like outside forces are working against you and you do not have the power to change that. Instead of embracing the changes that life is giving you, you are fighting them. They feel threatening and unwelcome. Most likely something you did not expect and do not feel you chose for yourself.
As Advice:
It's time to look at your own actions and behaviors. Time to look at yourself and see what can be changed to steer you more towards the outcomes you want and not just allowing anything that happens. To see what you can change within yourself to keep this type of situation from happening again in the future. Do not resist this change or the lessons it brings. Remember that life may feel low now but it will bounce back up again with time. This is all temporary. Unless you decide to hold onto the fear and let it be a permanent fixture in your life going forward.
