Finding the Way Forward

A woman reads a map to find her way.

Sometimes, the universe gives us breadcrumbs to help us find our way forward. We hate it when people breadcrumb us, but the universe likes to provide us with clues rather than a complete picture of the road ahead.

We often look for guidance while still determining our path and our decisions. That guidance could come from a trusted friend or family member, a paid counselor or coach, or our reflection. Divination can give us a focus, inspiration, or even a glimpse of what might come next. Sometimes, that guidance feels clearer than others.

When we feel uncertain about what to do or what might happen next, we often forget the power of uncertainty.

When there is no clear direction and no obvious answer, the way forward is filled with limitless possibilities. Some of those possibilities are things we fear, so we worry about what might happen. But some of those possibilities include wonderful opportunities for us.

The power of uncertainty is this. The less we have locked in for the future, the more freedom we have to create, find, and participate in amazing things we might not have anticipated.

When we cast our nets wide and expect great opportunities, we will usually find them.

The trick is to be patient, to find the breadcrumbs that give us clues, to stay optimistic, and to anticipate that positive things will happen. Most importantly, we need to have faith in our ability to make decisions, handle difficulties, and land in a good place.

Finding the Way Forward with Divination

Whether we read for ourselves or ask a friend or professional to read for us, divination is often a way to quell our fears about the future and find solutions, ideas, and inspiration for the way forward.

Sometimes, we receive clear predictions that help us. Most of the time, we find only a few clues and some advice. If we go into the process knowing the value of those clues, we can often get helpful information. If we are focused only on receiving a prediction, we may not ask the questions that give the most enlightening readings.

Here are some questions to ask in divination when you wonder about the way forward.

What is the best thing for me to do right now?

What do I need to know right now?

What should I pursue?

What can I know about the way forward?

From Around the Web

I remember when Mary K. Greer compiled the information for this 2011 blog post, and I am one of the many voices compiled here. I had forgotten about it until it randomly showed up in my feed. It was interesting to reread it and realize how little consensus there is amongst tarot readers about how tarot reading should be learned.

I like this Spell to Lock into Your Life Path from Tess Whitehurst.

Creating a vision board.

Making Magic

One sort of magic we are all familiar with is the vision board. A vision board is a digital or analog collage that reflects your hopes, desires, and vision for the future. If you know exactly what you want, it is easy to find images and words to place on your vision board.

But what if you are not sure what you want for your future?

We are often told to be as specific as possible when doing magic to manifest things for the future. Yet, it is hard to be specific when we don’t know what we want.

I think there is a type of vision board we can create when we are unsure about the future but still want to put energy into making it great.

Find pictures and words that excite and inspire you, and work with those. Once your vision board is complete, you may learn something about your desires as you contemplate what you have created.
