Advice

Advice From the Death and The Empress Combination

What to do

Do: step into irreversible change consciously and let it clear the path for fertile growth. Today, let what is already ending go completely — the release is the beginning.

That is the leverage point. Clarify that intersection and you will know exactly what the combination is asking of you.
