The 15 Directions of The Spiral - (1) East

This direction calls on you to be aware of your feelings in the relationship that you are seeking to co-create. Know in your heart that the interaction is right for all concerned.

Relationship demands awareness. Go within yourself to your deepest place of knowing. Get in touch with your feelings. Know their source. Own them. If there's any question of "This would be better if..." then there's something fundamentally wrong with the relationship. Does this situation really work for you, given your vision? If you're doing something you don't want to do, your body may tell you with a chronic illness. Be sure you are on your path. And then acknowledge the same space in any others involved.

The space of inner knowing is where we start to align with spirit. It is where our intuitive sense of what is right makes itself heard, if we are willing to listen. This is where we find out the truth about ourselves, and learn to see the truth in others—their hopes, fears, wishes, desires. We cannot truly know someone until we have gone inward to a place of empathy and deep understanding.

If you have drawn a card in this direction, you are being asked to examine your feelings and to come from the heart. This is the time for introspection and deep honesty. If you are truly striving for win-win, be willing to open yourself and to let others be open to you.
