8 of Swords

"If your life seems like a double-feature from hell...

...change the script!"

(Thanks Pepper Potts !) 

"Then something went wrong
For Fay Wray and King Kong
They got caught in a celluloid jam
Then at a deadly pace
It Came From Outer Space

And this is how the message ran..."

- From Rocky Horror Picture Show "Science Fiction/Double Feature"

~taken from Pepper Potts discussion "Changing the Script"    

"One thing I have learned of late is about 'changing the script'. 

If something is repeatedly recurring in your life and falls into the same pattern, there is usually a reason for it to be so. It could be that finances are stretched leading to difficulties, relationships go on that merry go round of issues as we all know they can do.....whatever it may be, then there is a lesson to be learned that we are not learning.

 

We then are faced with a choice. To keep experiencing the issues or 'change the script'.

This means changing something about ourselves or our situation to change the outcome. Often the fear of change prevents us from doing this and yet, it is the only way things are going to change, is for us to change what it is that keeps repeating.

Often the fear is just a projection and not reality.

   I couldn't agree with you more, Pepper Potts ! It's the lesson of the 8 of Swords mixed in with the 7 of Cups:

   A feeling of helplessness as an actress from some 'B' movie from the 60's, surrounded in mental barriers that YOU have probably chosen to be there. Notice BOTH cards have an air of illusion in them...the woman really isn't stuck and helpless as she believes herself to be...and the cups that are offered in the right card are from an emotional origin, not grounded in truth (only feeling). The choices she has made in the past were taken quickly and without thought, which resulted in unfavorable outcomes later on in her life...outcomes that she understands them to be as in stone because she chose them !

   As Pepper Potts suggests...it's time to wake up and deal with your emotionally draining choices that keep you surrounded in doubt....or....

..."CHANGE THE SCRIPT !"

   You are the main character, director, and writer of your own life movie ! Do not get bogged down with bad choices in life like Bill Murray in "Groundhog Day"...repeating the same mistakes over and over again. 

   Call makeup !! Get a new BOOM on the set ! Make a choice TODAY to throw out the old script...and bring in a re-write with a happy ending !

(You deserve a better part anyway !)
