Your Blind Spot Reading

	What you know	What you don't know
What others know	XII – The Hanged Man	III – The Empress

What others don't know	XVII – The Star	IX – The Hermit

This card displays your obvious identity, the part of you that everyone knows.

XII – The Hanged Man

Patience. Humility. Making a small sacrifice so that a larger gain might be made. Seeking redemption. Entering a 12-step program. 'Letting go and letting God'. A unique perspective on a situation. Putting a project on hold in order to properly evaluate the situation.

This card shows unconscious driving forces that neither you nor your company is aware of about you. This is the Great Unknown.

IX – The Hermit

Pulling back in order to gain space to think things through. Taking the time necessary to review a situation on your own or with the help of a disinterested third party. Renunciation of material claims or desires. Embracing simplicity. 'Money can't buy you happiness'. An unorthodox teacher (a 'guru') has much to teach you.

The secrets you keep from others are shown by this card.

XVII – The Star

Pessimism. Taking a 'glass is half empty' approach instead of viewing it as half full. Not being able to recognise the value of a situation or opportunity. Holding on to desperate or unrealistic hopes. Having your head in the clouds when you need to keep your feet on the ground instead.

This is your Blind Spot. This is what you asked about – what you wished to be made aware of by this reading.

III – The Empress

The Mother archetype, which implies mothering qualities such as nurturing, compassion, devotion, creativity, and fertility. An endeavour is coming to fruition. Love and sexuality. Hard work that pays off.
