Title of this Reading:  LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP 

Message:  

Past:  Ace of Swords:  You're the art of the deal; persuasive and decisive in your decision making; you've had much success because of your quick starts and dramatic endings. 

Present:  You need to be reminded that your boldness and high confidence are admirable and have successfully served you in the past, but it is best now to "look before you leap" into anything new.  

How did you get here?  You were willing to make sacrifices in the past in order to get you where you are today. You abandoned several paths (maybe many) in order to find what you truly wanted.  

Hidden:  V of Pentacles:  This card portrays misfortune and loss.  As with anything else in life, things go up, they come down; we win, we lose.  (Something to ponder).  

Advice:  The Empress card is all about loss and gain; win or lose; poverty vs.or abundance.  It's really all about the "luck of the draw."  We don't always get what we want.  Why not be satisfied with what you have, now?  

Outcome:  XIII Death:  An old cycle of doing business (something worn out, used up doesn't work anymore) is going away and a new cycle manifesting.  It's like cleaning all the clutter off your desk.  One moment it's there but, with a giant sweep of the hand, your desktop is clean and sparkly, once more. 

This card signifies death to what doesn't work for you anymore.  It's not the end of the road just another opportunity for you to (invest in, read up on and take advantage of) or you can do nothing at all.

It's all up to you. 

The numerical value of this reading is a 9:  Meaning:  Something is nearing completion or entering a plateau of some sort.  Plateau:  A flat, elevated land form that rises sharply above the surrounding area on at least one side.
