Jess's reading:
Now is the time for me to learn from my past, recognize and embrace the transitions in my life, and accept my Greater Work. I am afraid of not being able to do this, but conversely, it is also my greatest hope. I lack faith in myself and this hold me back from achieving what I need to do, and I need to come to recognize what is important and valuable about myself. Eventually, I might be able to rein in my flightiness and tie my passions together to work toward a single goal. Right now, I should focus on my faith and also on love-- emotional, spiritual, and physical. No matter what, I mustn't give in.
