I’m working towards publishing novels. That is the Eight of Wands change I am seeking in my life. What about you? What would you like to grow?
The Hanged Man doesn’t look comfortable does he? And yet even though he is twisted up in knots he doesn’t seem too bothered by the strange position he finds himself in.
