You have chosen Hermit and the 7 of Swords. It shows you're going in a different direction right now, for the better. You're changing camp and you need to do so quietly. You don't want to make any announcements to anyone, it's time to keep your thoughts to yourself and to play your cards close to your chest for you need to discover by yourself, through your own thoughts and feelings, what to do next and you've got it right, for by using your own talents and thoughts you are able to make the best decision for yourself. This is a time to be inspired by people from the past and thinking of how they would have handled it rather than dealing with people from the present who can influence your way of thinking. You may find that you feel a little uncomfortable about not talking over the bits and pieces that you wish to normally discuss with others, and it makes you feel a little uncomfortable as if you're being dishonest or unethical or lacking in loyalty to your friends and family. You must realise this is a time to stand up on your own two feet and to look at your experience from the past so you can base this on your future. Do not feel that you are in some way being disloyal. This is for your own good. You must make your own mistakes or your own victories. This is about perseverance and knowing that you've chosen to use your own mind and your own will even though it may be that you're inspired by someone from your past. It using that wealth of knowledge and experience that you've picked up from previous lessons to sort out what happens next rather than always looking for the approval or the advice from people in your present. Your future is based upon knowing that you are an individual with your own mind and you need to prove to yourself on this occasion that this was all you. You work best when you're in your own company and you're able to utilise your time in the most efficient of ways. You're very active and everything works for you providing you have order in your world. You have such a variety of skills and talents but you need some space and time out for yourself quite often. You're quite a private person and you really do resent the thoughtless invasion of other people's ideas when they are invading your personal boundaries. You're adaptable and clever and you can sort this one out and if you are threatened by some chaos you are able to re-establish the control by yourself through your own logical analysis: you can do so in the privacy of your own world.
