It is part of the human experience to feel stuck sometimes. We might be stuck in a job we don’t love, or a housing situation that doesn’t suit us. Sometimes it is hard to find a way out and on to the next thing.

Sometimes we are stuck in a more internal way. We have goals but can’t seem to get out of our own way to do what we think we need to do to achieve them.

Sometimes we are stuck in a way of thinking, or a pattern of behavior, that doesn’t serve us.

Often, when our feelings of being stuck are more internal, and related to our own behaviors, we refer to our stuck state as being ‘blocked’.

We might say that we have a block that keeps us from moving forward, or that something is blocking us.

Sometimes we may think that what is blocking us in an energy that comes from outside ourselves. Sometimes we know it is of our own creation.

Very often, creative people feel blocked from moving forward on their projects. We have all heard of ‘writer’s block’, for example.

If we are stuck in a logistical situation, very often we may feel blocked from finding our solutions.

Sometimes the only way out of a difficult situation is to get through it, patiently and diligently, until the situation changes.

When dealing with internal and creative blocks, very often the solution is to change the way we think.

When considering a stuck situation, it is important to neither catastrophize nor minimize the predicament.

Sometimes it feels easier to stay in a stuck situation because we can blame that situation for our lack of progress or success. We know that, once we are free, we will have no excuse not to work toward success.

Feeling stuck is frustrating. The solutions may be practical, spiritual or emotional. The solution may require us to make a change, release a fear, or step outside of our comfort zone.

It’s never easy. Yet, it is doable, and definitely worth doing.

Divination, either for ourselves, with a friend, or with a professional, is often the first step toward making that needed change. We can commune with the Universe to discover the root of our problems and embrace possible solutions. Then, breaking free becomes our most likely outcome.

From Around the Web

It’s not often that we find a new, original, helpful product in the metaphysical world. Christine Leiser’s new planner is definitely worth checking out.

I hope you don’t ever need this article in Tiny Buddha. But, if you have been dealing with gaslighting and abuse, you should read this.

Mercury is currently in retrograde. Here are some thoughts on how to use that energy effectively from Tarot.com.

Cards for Your Consideration

There are only a few tarot cards that speak specifically of being stuck. The Eight of Swords is one card that clearly and poignantly expresses this energy. We may see this energy in the Hanged Man as well.

Yet, sometimes when I do a reading, the energy of being stuck is very clearly expressed by a group of cards.

Which cards, other than the Eight of Swords, are most likely to work together to express that stuck energy?

Often present are the Four and Five of Cups, and the Nine and Ten of Swords. The Devil, of course, can indicate a situation in which we have willingly chosen to be stuck.

I also often see the stuck energy expressed in certain reversals. Reversed Aces and Knights can indicate being stuck and stagnant. So can Death reversed, as well as the Six of Swords reversed and the Eight of Wands reversed. When I see Temperance reversed, I think that a solution has yet to be found.

What is interesting is that the feeling of being stuck, stagnant and frustrated is one that can be overwhelming in a reading. It usually takes a number of cards to fully express this energy.

When we see cards working together to tell us about a stuck or blocked situation, we can very often find the solution within those same cards if we look hard enough.
