RB TAROT: XIV

14 - THE ASCETIC MASTER

This card is about the benefits of patience. The uncomfortable shift that came from the death card is now showing you the payoff for waiting out the storm and trusting that above the dark gray clouds the sky was still brightly blue. Here there are smooth waves, clear skies, and land ahead. Was the storm really as bad as you had thought? This is due to the hard work you have to put into staying stable. This homeostasis of the inner self is the space of a calm nervous system, hormones in balance. Your inner hunger is satiated, you are able to manage your heart rate and expectations, and your mood is kept unshakeable by external forces. The sweet winnings cover the sting of the change, right? How can you cultivate this patience with the situation at hand? How can you bring this inner control into all aspects of your life more fully?
