Having posted a problem about repeating cards which I thought I had resolved with the help of this forum http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=249461, a few days thereafter, I drew the Page of Pentacles three times in six days, and the Hanged man two days in a row a day later.
To me, this new series of repeated cards suggests that the decision I made in the last thread was not the right one. Briefly, that decision was to give all my efforts to learning the Tarot (which for me was a completely different and relatively new experience) and not to also "move on" to another "entirely different & new project".
It also seems to me that this Page of Pentacles card is telling me again to move on and find totally new opportunities for growth and new beginnings, and the Hanged Man is telling me to slow down, take time out to consider what past actions to release, and which ones to carry forward. Combined, they seem to be telling me that I am still not listening to its message. Throw out the old that isn't working for me any more, and bring in a completely new project, is how I see this message. Am I reading this right?
This is causing me a problem, because I don't know where to look for an entirely new project or even how to go about it. What does a completely new project mean? Does this exclude all projects that I have started in the past, even if I didn't finish them? For example I have two incomplete abandoned novels and one incomplete abandoned non fiction book that I never finished. If I pick up where I left off and continue writing any one of these books, will this be a "new project"? (As a retired accountant, writing was not my speciality, so it was out of my normal activities.)
Maybe I am just getting too intense about this whole thing and trying to MAKE it all happen, (a tendency that I have always been guilty of), whereas I should wait for developments and see what happens? Perhaps that is why the Hanged Man has come up??
Any help in adding to my card interpretations (or critiquing them) and pointing me in the right direction to move forward, would be greatly appreciated.
I must add that as someone fairly new to Tarot, I am really thrilled that I am learning so much about myself through these readings, and absolutely love learning about how to read the Tarot. Now I know why it's such a long journey!
