A Year Overview – January’s unveiling
As we are approaching the mid-way point of January, I’d like to touch base on the reading done by Miss Michele. As a recap, January’s forecast stated:
January: The year will get better as it goes along, but it won’t exactly start on a high note. The Two of Swords indicates a decision Mysti must make, to release the old and make way for a new path to be paved as the year progresses. She feels as if her hands are tied, but is, in fact, closing her eyes to the facts. What is Mysti not seeing about her current situation, which is slowing her progress? Mysti feels like her life is in a holding pattern, a stalemate. Mysti, the tarot says you would be wise to get your feelings out in the open–only then, can progress be made.
This card applies to many aspects of my life this month: Home, work, relationships and business arrangements. Whilst I do normally maintain my own emotions and keep them quite hidden (and I write from the heart), I have been putting myself out there. In years past, stating my peace regarding certain issues meant being pushed to the edge and screaming to erupt. I’ve remained calm, however. I’ve stated what I feel, issues I see present and when the other party has become irate at my bold statements, I’ve been one to assure that individual I’m not bashing them, but stating what I need to state and expect that steps will be taken to correct the issue or it will be time to end the connection.
I’ve been quite surprised by the responses from individuals. As more events transpire, I’ll update more.

Mysti,
That’s so important.
That is *awesome*. I’m so pleased to see the tarot giving you insight to improve your life AND that you’ve started asking for what you need!
“I feel” statements often help in what you’re doing… it *can* (for people who listen) make it more clear you’re not bashing them. For instance: “I feel like your actions were (rude), (aggressive), (thoughtless).” “When you did __this___ I felt as if __that.___” It’s putting the burden on yourself rather than them because, ultimately, we can’t control other people, only our reaction to them.

So true. It’s all a matter of how one states something. Even using the I, Me, My in sentences, I still find people in a huff. Perhaps I just haven’t been speaking my mind enough.
Oh, and let me know if you want me to run your pseudonyms. I’ll be happy to!

This is so interesting – I’m going to be watching you like a hawk.
I’ve always been intrigued by readings, but often wondered how on-target they are.

Mysti replied:
You know, Jenn, sometimes readings are spot on and sometimes they aren’t. Much of that depends on the quality of the one doing readings. You can flip cards, pull stones, toss coins, etc, but if a reader doesn’t incorporate their own intuition, you just have the tool used. Dawn does a great job of incorporating both means into her readings and it works wonders!
