Village Oracle
Old Man at the Gate
Experience, stubbornness and the unvarnished truth.
Card meaning
The time has come to give a clear yes or no. You have enough experience to know whom and what you will allow closer. Be careful, however, whether you are truly protecting something important or rejecting change merely because you are used to standing your ground. Firm boundaries protect you. Obstinacy shuts the gate on good things as well.
Love
One of you refuses to give way. An open conversation will help, not waiting to see who can sulk for longer.
Work
Do not let other people's duties be dumped on you without agreement.
Money
Caution is appropriate. Too much fear, however, could cost you a sensible opportunity.
Warning
Do not pass off stubbornness as life experience.
Not everyone who grumbles is wrong.
Question for reflection
Where am I protecting my boundaries in a healthy way, and where am I simply refusing to budge?
