Sabine's question:





What kinds of major changes or events do you see in my family/home life in the next 5-10 years?

[starlasue]

Sabine's Query: What kinds of major changes or events do you see in my family/home life in the next five to ten years?

I used Medicine Cards: The Discovery of Power Through the Ways of Animals. I used a 7-card spread – The Pathway Spread.

Sabine: I found trying to discern a response to your query tough because this parallels much of what could be for me and my family (except for the names). It flowed almost too easily and that concerns me a little. (Nervous giggle here.) But true to the process, I said I’d be a reader so here it is. I will be anxious to see if I was really in touch with you or off on a tangent somewhere! If I got off on a side road, I apologize, please bear in mind that I am still very much a student! :D

I heard several names (or in the case of the "T" wrote hugely) while in the discernment process of answering your question. I put them in right where I heard them, but I have no idea if they are related to that particular card/position or whether they have other meaning. If possible could you let me know if any are at all related to your family or inner circle? They might just be a validation of what I said previous to hearing the name. Your feedback will help me know if how I am getting names is something I should pay attention to.

1) Past: Beaver

Beaver indicates that family is very important to you. You work well together for the most part. I suspect that you are one of the folks that is asked to prepare or plan events or gatherings. You are also one who tries to mend hurt feelings – the ‘fixer’ of the group. However, I sense that there is a major family issue that still needs to be resolved or at least accepted and talked about. It is time to let it go.

2) Present: Armadillo (Reversed)

Armadillo suggests that the family issue that Beaver raised is one you’d likely just want to ‘sweep under the rug’ and forget. You fear bringing it to the surface is going to cause greater conflict. (Big “T” here – might be name or town.) This inability to bring this issue in the open is unhealthy for the family unit. Somehow you are denying yourself the ability to be joyous. You are doing what everyone in the family expects of you, but you feel unhappy and discomfited by your current condition. You are moving into a time when you will ‘know’ what the right thing to do is and you will act on it. It will feel risky but you will find that the unknown you now fear is not as bad as you anticipate. (Angela?)

3) Future: Hummingbird

Hummingbird is a good card for the future. There are joyous events in store for your family. I see two baby boys – perhaps not yours, but still close in within the family. Healing of the issue related by Beaver and Armadillo will ultimately bring happiness to the family as a whole. Someone is suggesting a family reunion – on a large scale – seeing mother’s side of family. You will be asked to help plan/host this event. I sense someone (perhaps you but I don’t think so) in the immediate family has a musical/artistic gift that is beginning to blossom. Encourage that gift as much as you can. If nurtured, this gift will be a healing grace to many.

4) Life lessons that you are moving through: Moose (Reversed)

I would need to ask if your ego is getting in your way. Since you are considered the strong one within the family, could you have let that go too far and assumed much more control than necessary? Are you feeling that you know more than others? If so, you should consider reevaluating the need to be in constant control; others within the family have values and gifts to bring to the table. Not necessarily the way you’d get it done, but workable. Perhaps this is a time for you to learn to ‘plant seeds’ of how things might be accomplished and then sit back and quietly watch as they reach fruition.

5) Challenge conquered/lesson just learned: Jaguar (Reversed)

The lesson that Jaguar says that you have just come through is that you learned to open your heart and have a little more compassion (and a little less finger-pointing). This is backing up Moose’s message that you do not need to be in control all the time. Perfection is not necessary to bring about a good result. Again I am sensing a period when you may have manipulated a situation within the family that you now recognize was the wrong thing to do. You have taken steps to rectify this. (Paula)

6) What is working for you: Opossum

You have a great ability to think and plan ahead. As far as family relationships go, you are able to divert attention away from confrontations that could be counterproductive. A possible alcohol/substance abuse problem is coming into play here as a situation where this diversionary talent has been of great value to you. This is a skill you have used and will continue to use in family relations to bring about positive outcomes. You should expect the unexpected. (Bubba – that’s a new one for me!)

7) What is working against you: Raccoon
In this position, Raccoon is stressing the over-protective manner in which you are dealing with family issues. You are holding someone(s) back. I don’t think you are the one being held back. The problem here is that you are working so hard to take care of everyone else that you have neglected your need for self-care and self-compassion. (Joey) Folks within your family must be able to face and solve their own problems in order to grow – you can assist, but try to avoid steering.

The story: Sabine, you are a strong, caring individual and you need to honor that. In order for your family to move into this time of happy change and growth, you will be called upon to use the skills and talents you have. You should try to avoid over-controlling things and let the creativity of others enrich your family’s lives. Enabling growth and well-being is what I sense your role to be.

Something in the past has been avoided. I don’t sense that this was done for nefarious purposes, but rather to ‘protect’ someone. Unfortunately it is causing problems within the family and really needs to be brought forward into discussion at the appropriate time. There may be need for a counselor to be involved before proceeding. This is over-shadowing what should be a happy time.

Two little guys will be joining your clan – not sure when or by whom, but certainly within the time frame you speak of. Twins pop into my head, but it might just be that they will be close in age, be Gemini, or be very similar in some way. Someone is very creatively talented and is showing that spark now. This will bring great delight to the family and community as well as to the person who has this talent.

There it is, Sabine. Thank you for allowing me a chance to participate in your query.

Starlasue, thank you sooo much for this reading....you really were right on target with a lot of things. I am going to print this out today, and give you a detailed response as soon as I can.....:love:

Blessings,
Sabine

[Sabine]

First of all, thank you Starlasue, for a wonderful reading. I will try my best to give detailed feedback on as much as I can. Here we go:

1. Past:Beaver
Yes, family is the MOST important to me. I do plan and prepare for a lot of events, and enjoy it very much. I absolutely am the "fixer" of the group. There are actually several major family issues going on at this very moment that need to be resolved, accepted, AND let go. GREAT CARD!

2. Present:Armadillo
Absolutely, I want to sweep ALL of the family issues under the rug, because I have a tough time dealing with them, and sometimes do believe that it will be cause for more argument. Can't think of any name that starts with "T" other than my last name? Angela doesn't fit either, but I'll keep the name in mind for the future.

3. Future:Hummingbird
I have two boys (3 yrs and 1 yr). Not sure about a reunion, although we do have 2 birthday parties coming up this Sunday, as well as next Sunday for my boys which I did plan. As far as the musical/artistic gift goes, my 3 year old is very much into music. He has been dancing since he's been able to stand, and is very much in tune to the beat. He's getting really good at the guitar, and loves the piano, saxophone, xylophone, drums, tambourines...basically ANYTHING musical! As a matter of fact, the theme for his birthday party on Sunday is a MUSICAL theme! :D

4. Life lessons : Moose (reversed)
Not sure about the ego thing, but I do have a lot of control of the household, simply because I'm home 7 days a week with the kids. I handle just about everything on the inside. I would LOVE to let go, and give some of that control to my husband, but he's not secure enough with himself to a lot of the things that are required to "run a home".

5. Challenge conquered/lesson just learned: Jaguar (reversed)
I have always been compassionate, but something did just happen where I think I was trying to point the finger at someone, and just had to let it go and understand why it happened the way it did. Paula is not connected with me, but again, I'll keep that name in mind for the future.

6. What is working for me: Opossum
I do think and plan ahead (that's what mothers are born to do! :D) There has been an alcohol problem with a family member in the past, however I'm unsure of what you mean when you say the diversionary talent has been of great value to me during that time. Again, Bubba is not with me.

7. What is working against me: Raccoon
I am probably very overprotective of everyone in my family, but especially my husband. I do try to help him solve his problems, probably more than I should.

Your story:

You couldn't be more right about something in the past being avoided. Again, I'm protecting my husband, and it has been causing problems. We have in fact had several discussions about the subject, and even went as far as to try to make an appointment with a counselor, which never happened, because we are trying to work it out ourselves. I also thought that these should be the HAPPIEST years of my life with my two beautiful baby boys, and this is definitely overshadowing it.

As far as two little guys....twins run in my generation, and I know my cousin is trying to conceive. I would love to have twins myself. My older son, Dylan, is for sure the creative, and talented one...only time will tell what his future holds :D

Thank you for your time, effort and honesty in your reading :love:

Blessings,
Sabine

Thanks for the feedback, Sabine!

Glad I was tuning in to you! :D As I said, it parallels my family quite a bit.

There has been an alcohol problem with a family member in the past, however I'm unsure of what you mean when you say the diversionary talent has been of great value to me during that time.

Here I would say that at times alcoholism is a very sensitive problem and although straight forward dealing with situations is the best, oftimes attention needs to be diverted to avoid additional conflict or pain in touchy situations. So I guess I was thinking that you were good at being able to get attention off the unpleasantness when it was needed. I know what I mean - I am having trouble articulating it! :laff:

Yeah and where did Bubba come from? :eek: All I could think of was Forest Gump and his friend Bubba with his shrimp business. Odd one to get - maybe I got the reference wrong.

Aren't my animal friends just awesome???

Peace

Either that or....you could have been connecting with me while I was watch "Boohbah" on television with my son :laff2:
