This is a very simple draw due to a hectic life. 

1. What does the universe need from me? This was answered with the Star

2. What will help me? This was answered with Justice

3. What challenges must I be aware of? This was answered with the Seven of Swords

1. What does the universe need from me? 

The star is a sign of hope. Augustus saw a shooting star after the death of his uncle and took this sign as his uncles deification. Caesar became a god that day. The Star represents hope and floods me with a sense of peace and harmony. She pours the water from two gold pitchers, bringing them together and mixing their uniqueness into a new entity. The Star is naked as is truth. She gives me a sense of peace and rest, simple enjoyment of nature and a slower pace in life. Do I need to harmonize my life more? Do I need to simplify each day? Do I need to trust that things will be better? 

2. What will help me?

Justice has always represented balance for me. Seeking an equally balanced logical state inclusive of both male and female energies. There is much more to explore with the Star and Justice pairing. 

3. What will create challenges for me?

The Seven of Swords is never a good card. The thief runs away, but he will always be looking back to see who is coming after him. What type of challenges does this represent for me personally? Will someone steal from me or my family with no remorse? I feel as though he already has, but who knows if this is referring to something new, and I believe it is. I don't think this is representing a past theft, unless it does imply the ongoing thievery that still affects me. Am I being warned to avoid stealing from another? Regardless of our good intent, we are still humans with obstacles and situations that arise. Those events could create a situation in which a person feels the need to steal. Could this be theft of something physical or something emotional? 

I will certainly be exploring these implications further over the next few days. There is hope of a better situation using balanced logic, but I must always beware of negative intentions.
