Something a little more obtuse for the day. I have a personal query, which I don’t particularly care to divulge and so I won’t. And it isn’t one that requires much knowledge of the cycle of time or ørlǫg (I mean, it could, but I phrased it as a “what is the significance of XXX?” type of query), so I will not be “invoking” Nornir on this one. In this case, I’ll use a “Current situation / Obstacle / Advice” interpretation without any preface to the query, as I think these are self-evident areas.
Three Cards Spread | Subject: Personal [undisclosed]

Current Situation (VIII Pentacles)
Currently, progress is being made working on the finer details of areas of study and life, making improvements and concentrating of mastering skills. Commitment to change is being made, and the hard work towards those goals is already underway.
Obstacle (IV The Emperor, reversed)
There is a risk in overexerting or, possibly, surrendering too much power and authority. Self-discipline and continued commitment will help see the process through. Watch for unequal dynamics and strive for more balance, and avoid unbalanced dynamics.
Advice (IV Wands, reversed)
Maintain and improve the inner harmony and stability cultivated. Multiple changes are ahead, including those that may negatively impact the harmony and stability of those things around. Keep eyes on self-acceptance and self-empathy.
Note: Biddy Tarot is my resource for understanding the card meaning. Different references may result in a different interpretation of the cards.
