The Hierophant: There are no rules.
Whatever worked for you before, may not work as efficiently now, and you may need to overhaul the manual that you are operating from. A major turning point in my own journey came one ordinary afternoon when I realized that I had been listening to an instruction that had given to me by my father, probably over 45 years ago. “It doesn’t matter what you do, as long as you are a nice person” I saw then, with an accompanying drum roll, that this one line had dictated, in one way or another, my entire life, and the weight of it had been enormous.
This is the time in your life, where if you haven’t had the opportunity already, you are now able to write your own rules. New teachers may need to be sought, and there is likely to be a strong awareness of a “final push” that you need to get things sorted, things that you may have been wrestling with for your whole life. This doesn’t mean that you failed before, but more that you have now reached another level of awareness, and that you are able to let more go. What was important becomes less so, and what seemed unimportant becomes central now. Gone are the needs to fulfill other people’s expectations and to meet their standards, you are building your own framework, that works for you, allowing you to embrace your inner strength with a firmer grasp, safe in the knowledge that the only certainty in life is change. By the time this phase is finished, you will know with a strong sense of love and gratitude, that the only voice worth listening to is the voice of your own heart.
