In the more recent tarot decks, the card you are probably familiar with in the VI position is called The Lovers. The lovers are usually depicted on either side of a rather large angel. But in the original decks, the central figure was not an angel, but a man. On one side of the man was depicted his lover, or wife, as she was sometimes called and on the other side was...his mother.

The original meaning of this card was, as I have called it, choice.

We have choices to make every day, some of them easy, some of them difficult. This card, Choice, is not about the easy decisions. It is about the difficult ones. It is about the decisions where it seems that each side has something to offer. The ultimate decision is usually between advancing or staying still...and staying still always seems more comfortable. But is it? Really?

So maybe, just for today, you don't have to take the high road. Maybe today you can find a time out of time where you can ponder your options and weigh the variables. Today, tap into the good sense that you have, and, as my first Feng Shui teacher, Melinda Joy, used to say, walk with it.

Perhaps tomorrow your choice will come crystal clear, like a teardrop catching the sun.
