"It is through self-love that we can truly love others."
There are times in our lives when we are too busy providing the needs of others to the point of compromising our own well-being. There are many reasons why we sacrifice too much for others. Some of us feel obliged to do so while others give because they expect that their generosity will be returned or appreciated. There are also people who over-give because it makes them feel good about themselves. This card, The Empress, tells you to stop before you lose your capacity to give.
It is time to end this cycle of over-giving and attend to your own needs. I am not saying that you stop sharing your blessings with others. All I am saying is you should also help the people around you help themselves. Let them realize that they should also work hard for what they need or want. Tell them that you also need time to refill your cup. Don’t let them become too dependent on you or it will backfire eventually.
Isn’t it a cliché when an over-giver feels taken advantage of and does things that can cause him or her to regret later? Don’t wait for it to happen. Act now before your situation gets out of hand.
