82. Purity of Intentions
'AU'Xiliary Arcana

When trust feels uncertain, begin by noticing what lies beneath the obvious: the subtle hooks, the inconsistencies, the uneasy sense that someone’s words and actions do not align. Your inner guidance is often the clearest measure you have. If you feel you cannot genuinely trust another person’s intentions, choose the middle path. Do not rush to condemn them, but do not ignore your instincts either. Discernment is not suspicious secrecy; it is the wisdom to recognise what belongs in a safe relationship and what does not.
This guidance also acknowledges a difficult truth: not everyone acts with integrity. At times, it may point to someone nearby who is presenting only part of themselves, concealing motives, or behaving in ways that could become harmful. Your task is not to live defensively or fearfully. It is to remain rooted in self-love and awareness, so you are less likely to offer your trust where it is not respected. Emotional distance can create the space needed enabling truth to emerge. If something feels off or a boundary is crossed, name it plainly: “This is unacceptable to me.” Clear boundaries are an act of self-respect.
The question may arise: Are they redeemable? – Stay open to the possibility of change but remain wise about what change requires. The light within you can reveal what is hidden, yet it does not ask you to become another’s rescuer. You may choose to walk away, or you may sense that another person is capable of growth. Either way do not sacrifice yourself to save them.
Your path belongs to you, just as theirs belongs to them. Offer support only as they are willing to meet you consciously, taking responsibility for their choices, standing in their own strength, and walking beside you rather than asking you to carry them. This is where interpersonal discernment becomes wisdom: love can remain present without abandoning boundaries as compassion does not require self-betrayal.
The deeper invitation is not to deny reality, but to meet it with honesty and courage. As you learn whom to trust with your heart, you are also being asked to examine what you trust to sustain your life. In both relationships and finances, abundance begins with clear seeing, grounded choices, and the release of what no longer supports integrity.
Power prompts: Allow others to show themselves. Protect your energy, hold your counsel, and share with care—not only your own personal information, but anything entrusted to you about others.
Ask yourself, “what reality am I continuously reinforcing through my attention, emotional states, and repetitive choices?” – but more importantly “what would change if I withdrew my energy from it?”
If your intentions are misconceived that is on them, not you.
Affirmation: I AM walking my path of light! I choose like-minded people to walk with!
