Original Meaning

If there was ever a time to trust your intuition and inner voice it is right now. Your negative thoughts and self-belief has created a false reality that you are stuck in this situation. Whether it is an abusive relationship, awful job, bad debt or something that makes you feel trapped, the reality is there is a way out. Do not allow yourself to be the victim. Dig deep and listen to your gut and instinct, not your over busy mind and thoughts. You can get out of this situation if you cut the mind babble and look within for strength and answers. As you change your thought patterns and beliefs to more positive ones, you will change your reality. Accept help from others, acknowledge that you are not powerless and do everything in your power to get out of this situation with a positive mindset.

What this card may mean in the Celtic Cross

If you’ve scanned the QR Codes on the back of each Tarot Card, by now you’re more than likely getting familiar with the Upright and Reversed meanings of the cards.
This detailed QR code page will take you even deeper into the meanings of your card and give you examples of what it may mean when drawn in each position of the Celtic Cross tarot spread.

You are finding yourself in a whole world of pain and misery at the moment! You have managed to put yourself in an intolerable situation and as far as you can see there is no way out. This could be an abusive relationship, an unfulfilling job, uncontrollable debt or any other negative situation that sees you caught between a rock and a hard place. You feel like you can’t win no matter what you do, if you leave there will be consequences, if you don’t it’s even worse. But is it? Is it totally inescapable or are you just telling yourself that? It is time to dig deep, go beyond the thoughts rattling away in your head and see what your intuition has to say. It’s time to rip off the blindfold that has you viewing everything in tunnel vision so you can see a way forward and take action.

You are your own worst enemy my dear friend! The Universe hears what you send out and at the moment it’s nothing great! You seem to be telling yourself that you are no good and are not up to any challenge or change. This could be due to ongoing situations around you that have caused you to become a victim or you just have had enough. It’s time to stop all of this negative self-belief that holds you back. You need to de clutter by removing old habits, old belief systems and recreate yourself as a strong person up for any challenge and a willingness to embrace change for your own happiness. You may have even reached this phase where you know that you deserve absolute abundance and are ridding yourself of anything that makes you feel negative including your own thoughts. If you are striving to move on to a new you, bravo! Keep going!

You feel slightly lost at the moment and can’t seem to see the wood for the trees. You know exactly what you want in life but actually achieving it seems a bit of a challenge. You ideally want to be free of the negative situation that you find yourself in. It could be in the wrong job or relationship or just generally stuck in a rut that you can’t get out of. It’s just going to take a little nudge in the self-belief stakes where you need to start ridding yourself of ‘I can’t’ and focusing on ‘I can!’ You are creating your own obstacles here from your thought processes, so go beyond your racing thoughts, listen to what your gut says and start acting on that. It is time to look at the bigger picture and realise that you can achieve just what you want by devising a plan that doesn’t involve your fears hindering the way forward.

You are finding yourself completely in a rut and all your mind is telling you is that you are not happy and there seems to be no way out. All you can see at the moment is dead ends every time you tell yourself that you are not happy. You have been in this situation for such a long time that you just keep on auto pilot which is ‘I have created my own bed, so be it.’ Absolutely not! Rip that blindfold off and see the bigger picture here, you are not as helpless as you have conditioned yourself to be. Listen to your intuition and not to your endless thoughts of defeat. You will see there are solutions to your current dilemma, you just have to believe in yourself and start to implement change. Get rid of old habits and negative self-belief systems that leave you static. It’s time to dig deep and start exercising that inner strength within in you that has been waiting for a long time to surface and make the changes that you dream of.

In the past you found yourself in a situation that you really didn’t enjoy. It could have been a toxic relationship, unfulfilling job or a situation that made you feel helpless and unhappy. You managed however to come out of the victim mode that you found yourself in and make changes that really did get you out of your rut. You found yourself a lot happier and stronger and most important of all, independent. You should be proud of yourself as it did take a lot of courage to make the changes. Currently your intuition is at an all-time high triggering old memories of when you were stuck before. You are finding yourself experiencing negative thought processes again due to another person or a situation that has arisen. Don’t allow yourself to go back to that helpless person with no options. Make changes now to stop this happening again. Trust your intuition, things don’t feel right, this is your past self reminding you of not taking the same route again.

You need to get out of your head right now before you create a future of unhappiness and lack of movement! You have slipped into a mind-set where you can see no way forward in your current situation and just feel like you have to give up and stop fighting. This stops now as it couldn’t be further from the truth! Listen to your gut, it is telling you that you are not happy. Eradicate all of these negative thoughts of helplessness and push past them to see the bigger picture. You are far more capable than you think and can implement change by getting out of this situation by using your inner strength and thinking out a solid plan. If you don’t make the moves now, your future will be full of disappointment and you will find yourself feeling trapped in a job or relationship that you really don’t want to be in.

This is your wake up call! These thought processes and negative self-belief systems need to stop now! You see yourself as the victim at the moment, stuck in a horrible job, relationship or situation that you have told yourself there is no way out of. You feel doomed if you do and doomed if you don’t. Stop telling yourself that you are stuck and there is no way out! Your thoughts have overwhelmed your inner strength so it’s time to banish these thoughts and tap into your intuition and listen to the truth of the situation rather than cowering back believing that you are too weak or stuck to make change. By implementing positive mind-sets and making changes to get yourself out of this situation will free you form this sense of entrapment. Don’t be shy in asking others to help you get out of this energy that you find yourself in. When you look back after the change you will realise how toxic everything was.

If you are told something enough you believe it to be true. This is particularly so if someone around you is telling you things on a regular basis that are making you feel unworthy or really not good enough. It could even be a job that is demoralising you and making you feel inept and uninspired. Whatever the situation, it has honed your thought processes to thinking nothing but negativity about yourself. You feel caught between a rock and a hard place as you think of the consequences of moving away from this situation. You are damned if you do and feel damned if you don’t. You have to realise that outside sources have made you feel this way which could now have you feeling like a victim. You have been conditioned and now believe what you are being told. It is time to stop this. Listen to your intuition, are you really as bad as they make out? Are you really that weak victim? I don’t think so! So bin the old habits, banish these negative self-belief patterns and find a new stronger you that can get out of this situation as soon as possible.

It seems that you feel trapped at the moment and cannot find a way out. Is this the reality of the situation or is it really down to your own perception? You are not really that happy in a job, relationship or predicament that you find yourself in. You desperately hope it will all go away and change will come about. The only way to change this situation is to stop listening to your thoughts that are full of fear and are detrimental to you. Your intuition is telling you that you must move on and make change but you fear there will be repercussions if you start ruffling someone’s feathers or move from a controlling boss. At the moment the fears are overwhelming you as you have allowed yourself to stay in this negativity for far too long. It is time to change your thought processes, get rid of old behaviours and start to discover your inner strength. The only thing holding you back is yourself. Stop thinking you can’t and embrace all thoughts that say you can, it’s time to own it and move forward with the courage of your convictions.

When we find ourselves in a mind numbing job, unhappy relationship or a horrible situation that we can see no way out of we do tend to end up feeling the victim and wanting to give up. The more miserable we find ourselves the more we allow the negative thought processes in that make us feel trapped and helpless. You may be in this position right now and can see no way out. If you do nothing you will find yourself stuck and your circumstances will never change. It is time to take action! Banish those negative thought processes, make a plan for change and let go of old behaviours and habits that leave you in victim mode. Now is not the time to give up as you really are setting up your near future. Defeat or triumph, it’s your choice.
