Career, Work Or Retirement:
This is a great time to take some time off from work if you can (even a long weekend.) you need a break and some perspective. Things are not likely to be going as you would like them to do – don’t take this personally or try to push harder. Sometimes we just need to be patient with the process. If you can’t stand the need for patience, perhaps the time has come to start looking for another position.

Effigies were never meant to replace the real thing and were not always meant to last. Temporary is an important keyword for you right now.
Complete Book of Tarot: Ruled by Venus the goddess of love, Libra comes seventh in the zodiac. Libra the Scales of Justice, an active initiatory cardinal sign, is associated with Justice, trump XI.
