The Message of the Balance Card
by Ask a Healer
You drew the card BALANCE from the free card readings page or you have been led to this page by a search on pertinent keywords. Either way, perhaps the message of the BALANCE card will be helpful.
Do you know it would be in alignment to be moderate now? Are you almost overwhelming tempted to splurge in some way, go off the deep end of some relationship, take some risk that your inner Spirit Guidance tells you is unwise? At times like these, there may be a feeling of being out of control, as if you are really losing it.
Drawing this particular card is a sign that, although it may certainly feel that way, it's an illusion. You are working through something, breaking free of chronic habits of behaving in ways that are not moderate and ways which, in the past, have caused you disturbance and imbalance. By understanding that sense of urgency is part of a bigger shift, you may be able to weather the flux and flow of the changes.
How else do we learn balance than by walking through our imbalance?
Spiritual balance means getting used to and comfortable with change. A torpedo reaches the intended target by continually going off-course and readjusting. That is an apt metaphor for walking in spiritual balance. You are emerging from a very strong pattern of committing to chaos. You are at or nearing a major turning point of choosing order and harmony.
If you are struggling in your most intimate relationship at the time of this reading, this card can also indicate that you are having, or heading toward, a turbulent period but even that is a walk toward balance. Something has been stirred and is coming out to look at, regarding the way you interact with this person. Though it may feel as if the relationship is ending, it may only be the current configuration that is changing. The ultimate outcome may be a more stable relationship, as long as you don't panic and think things are falling apart when they are only really in flux and asking to become something more healthy and balanced.
On the career front, if you are facing a decision that means changing your job or quitting, this card suggests that it isn't the right time for that. It is the time for gathering information, not letting that information rush you into a do or die confrontation. It's a good time for determining your options, and feeling your feelings about why you want to change or quit. Hold off on that two-week notice for a time.
In general, look at all areas of your life in terms of balance. Too much work? Schedule more play. Too much play? Schedule more work.

Important Disclaimer: The use of cards for spiritual purposes is controversial and not everyone feels they should be used or trusted. I am not one of those people. I believe, if you are sincere in your desire to know the truth about something that is troubling you, the use of cards with good messages may be effective. For me, it's no different than praying. If it offends you or does not agree with you, please feel free to move on. All decks are not for all people. These may or may not speak to you.
