I got a Tarot reading on May 5, 2010 because my life was turning inside out and upside down. Anyway, I'm still trying to figure things; I was trying to find out what was going to happen to me. What does "the near future" mean"? The reading was from the Renassaince deck. Around me (eight of swords) a difficult situation to deal with and that endurance is the key to coping right now. I won't go into details but I have been going through an extremely rough time for a few years now and really not sure if I can take any more trials. Hoping my near future is now. Any suggestions or answers as to what "the near future" may be?
