What part of my shadow do I need to use less?
Warrior Two is the card of power awakening and although power awakening is a a really good thing, it can also be a little overwhelming. I now that I can overwhelm people sometimes with my attitudes, my thoughts, and my power and while I will never choose to be less than again as I was with my ex, I will choose to listen more and talk less. I'm learning that sometimes raw power needs to be moderated and dialed back to enable and support people versus overwhelming them.
Warrior Two gives me the gift of courage and helps me to jump into the middle of new situations and make my way to the other side. However, courage is something else that can be scary for other people especially if I set the expectation that I think they are a wuss if they do not have the same level of courage that I do. This is something else I need to moderate and practice holding people's hands and guiding them versus pushing them off a cliff.
The Hermit tells me that I love to retreat into myself and shut people out. That is intimidating for people and people often take it personally. In reality, it is not meant personally it is just me needing my personal space and doing what I can to protect and care for myself. One of the things I can do to take care of myself better and not put up the huge shields is make sure I take care of myself all along and not let myself get so run down that the only way I can recover is to isolate myself.
This was an incredibly powerful reading and although it is a great reminder that I am a very strong and fierce person, it is also a reminder that sometimes there is strength in dialing back our capabilities.
