I had a reading where a woman in her 50's came in. She had some hard cards. She was trapped by the Emporer and had Justice Reversed in her hopes and dreams. It turns out she had returned home to help her aging father who had alzheimers. (Best description of an Emperor/ Justice reversed situation I've heard in some time!)
Looking after him had turned her wands cards upside down, all her energy was going into keeping him safe and stable, but it left none for her.
We had a long talk about caretaker burnout and compromises on her care, to give her some space for self care. But I was reassured by seeing the Magician as her outcome card. She will mange to pull a rabbit out of her hat, and it will be okay.
Sometimes the situations we find ourselves in are just hard, and there are few shortcuts. Going to tarot card readers, talking with friends, having some fun - helps us remember the lives we can have. It's always important to make time and space for relaxation and happiness.
