When faced with obstacles, look within yourself and see if there any negative attitudes that are presenting difficulties. Correcting them will bring relief. The work you have done on yourself will bring release, presenting the way clear for steady progress. Now is a time to step forward with confidence and balance. Don't brood on what has gone; just forgive and forget the past. They were lessons you needed to reach this point.

Face up Meaning: An aggressive approach to solving problems.  Having an attitude filled with power and valor.  Courage will be required to solve the situation at hand.  A small gain is made after much effort.  Standing your ground.  Facing adversity.  Ignoring the opinions of others.  Holding fast against many others.  Being yourself without fear or care of being harmed.  Advantage.

Reversed Meaning: Being timid.  Losing your nerve.  Afraid to take action.  Bowing down to others in the community.  Being overwhelmed.  Looking for ways to compromise.  Giving up hope.  Courage is not required to solve this problem, instead seek other avenues.  Having others disprove of you personally.  Feeling as though you are in great physical harm.  Doubt.

Message for the day: You have faced some of your inner demons and have finally found the strength to move forward.  Change is coming and know that whatever you do, you will find yourself on top and doing good.  Don’t worry about what people say, those that matter don’t mind and those that mind don’t matter.  Just keep moving forward you now know you have the strength and ability.
