83. TWO HALVES DO NOT ALWAYS MAKE A WHOLE

This card serves as a clear sign that there is a significant imbalance present in your life, particularly within your partnerships or relationships. When relationships are not functioning as true partnerships, one contributes much more than the other. If you are contributing much more than you are receiving in return, your value and efforts are not being properly acknowledged or recognised. While we do not give solely with the expectation of receiving, it is important to have relatively balanced partnerships and to avoid the burden of carrying others unfairly.

Areas where imbalances may occur
Imbalances show themselves within a relationship; financial situations; workplace scenarios; self-expression; nurturing or happiness.

This card reminds us we manage our emotions, happiness, and relationships, regardless of the imbalance's origin. Our decisions deserve respectful treatment, recognising their value.

Deeper meaning
The underlying message here is that you should never feel compelled to compromise yourself in order to have your needs met in alignment with modern high values, Universal Law, or man-made law. It is important to note the substantial difference between man-made law—which often focuses on control and regulating behaviours—and Universal Law, which encourages us to work with the natural flow of energies.
Your feelings of self-worth may be why you put so much energy into these situations. You must examine imbalances and deliberately fix them. Sometimes, just stating your feelings, discussing your problems, and highlighting the unfairness can fix things.

Ultimately, there are both givers and takers in life, but takers can only continue their behaviour if we permit it. Strive to maintain equilibrium in all areas and do not allow resentment or anger to build up to where it erupts uncontrollably. Instead, aim to communicate calmly and authentically, providing the other person with the chance to restore balance. Should they be unwilling or unable to do so, you may need to take firmer action to ensure the imbalance does not persist. It is essential for the other party to step up and contribute fairly.
