Faithful reader Mysti Linn poses a question for the tarot: "Is "By The Fire" the way I should go?"
A three-card spread of The Heart of the Matter, Advice, and Outcome should give Mysti some insight.
The first card, the Heart of the Matter, is the Ten of Pentacles. This project has the potential to give Mysti financial security, enough time with her family, and plenty of cash, but Mysti is concerned that may not be the case. The Pentacles are associated with Earth... Mysti hopes this project will give here some grounding.
The Advice is represented by the King of Swords... The tarot is telling Mysti she should behave as this Court Card would in this situation... analyze all the facts, look before you leap, use your head. Should you decide to take this project, take control as a strong leader, don't allow others to influence your views too much.
The Outcome is represented by the Five of Wands, the Fire element, which relates to the name of the project. You'll face an exciting challenge if you do this. There may be others who believe they know the best way--stick to your guns (re: King of Swords). If you do take over the project, be careful. You *may* be taking on too much and will, literally, burn yourself out. This is a fear Mysti's has mentioned in the past and seems to be a recurring them in her professional life. It could happen again. In relation to the Five of Wands, I'd say the King of Swords is warning you to consider this VERY carefully.
However, all minor arcana in the reading tell us a very important thing: it's YOUR decision, 100 percent, no one will influence it or present new information that causes you to change your mind. Whether you do or don't take this on, the results won't be earth-shattering. If it doesn't work out, you can withdraw with little consequences and move on.
Interesting... Miss Michele drew a clarification card asking the tarot simply: Yes or No, should she do this.
The Wish card came up, the Nine of Cups. We have a balance of all four suites here... which shows that this decision won't influence any one area of your life greatly. You won't get rich--or poor. You won't get emotionally burnt out. It really seems as if you have nothing to lose, and the tarot, with the Nine of Cups, seems to be saying, "Do what you think is best, you'll be fine." (Note I did not say "feel is best." There were no "intuition" cards in this reading... the Tarot is saying look at the facts, the spreadsheets, and your time, and make a wise decision based on that information).

Very Interesting indeed...
I definitely take on too much at once, which would push this back until next month when I have the site completed and set, allowing for proper focus. (Looking at the Feb card in the outlook reading here...) I'm torn between "By The Fire" and "Around The Fire" with this project. I've done the numerology on both and that still hasn't brought the decision any closer.
I'm glad to see that it truly is *my* decision regarding this project. Now I'm off to ponder...
I've done a wee bit of pondering over this reading. It seems to me that the five is telling me to really size up the competition so that I'm capable of standing out above those in the same genre/field. The king is showing the new beginning within my life as this project pertains. The ultimate goal is shown through the Ten with financial security and stability (also providing for more time at home) and then to wrap it up - wishes. I definitely know what they are in my life. ;)
Thank you so much.
