I'll take a crack at this....

First impressions: You are hiding, defensive. You have recently been hurt really badly and don't want to expose yourself again. I can see it in your eyes. But being walled in is lonely. It's a dilemma.

OK, so I drew three cards from the OSHO Zen deck. It's a wonderful deck for reading tarot and just meditation. I highly recommend buying the deck for yourself. All of the cards show conflict, a split of some sort. Lost and confused? That's what the cards say. But that's not helpful to you.

First card is Guidance, Three of Rainbows. The card show a figure face turned away while their spirit guide shows them the way upward. You are looking for guidance from all sorts of places, even this forum. All the while, the guidance you need is there within you, buried under pain and uncertainty. This may sound like a fancy way of saying "trust your heart." I cannot say it is anything more to be honest. I do know this: You are living out of your head right now. Your head will keep you safe, but your heart will make you happy. Let's move on.

Next card is The Burden, Six of Clouds. Clouds are the suit of the mind in the Osho deck, not a very good place. This card shows a poor, overworked peasant with a dandy riding on his shoulders, telling him where to go. A rooster sits on his shoulders. Is this how life is feeling these days? Directionless, struggling with impossible burdens, trying to live up to expectations? We all need to adhere to certain expectations in a civilized society. It's time to separate your expectations from those place on you, or your own unrealistic ones. You have your own mountains to climb, your own person to be. You cannot satisfy the world. Take a good hard look at what you need to be and discard those parts hindering you from being what you want to be.

Last card is Schizophrenia, Two of Clouds. The card show a figure hanging on to one cliff with fingers and one cliff with toes, stretched to the limit. Which side to hold on to? Fingers or toes? The wonderful Zen answer is to let go and fall into the chasm below. Trust the landing will be soft. Master Osho is not big on hanging on to things. In another card he says, "Whatever it is- a job, a relationship, a home you loved, anything which might have helped define who you are- it is time to let go of it, allowing for sadness, but not trying to hold on. Something greater is waiting for you, new dimensions to be discovered."

Accept the loss. Embrace the loss. Morn, grieve, but don't hang on. Your head and heart are in conflict right now. I would stick with the head for the moment and stay safe while your heart recovers. Just understand this is a temporary situation. Something greater awaits- when you are ready.
