Tarot and the Basque Country's path to independence

A Celtic cross 10-card spread:

The issue at hand is the individual or group is so obsessed with what he/she/they does not have that he/she/they forget what they already do possess. There is a need for re-evaluation of familiar environments. The foundation of the issue is built on negativity- the restriction of desires, and imprisonment. There is a holding on of the status quo that has led to a violent downfall.

Yet the near future is very bright, so many generations of unresolved conflict has led to the present situation- a generation that will be able to finally experience satisfaction. What will resolve the matter is a spirit of sacrifice, flexibility of mind, and devotion to a cause. It is the great paradox- the less you control a situation, the more you control it. The way in which the issue is perceived by those 'inside' is that of transformation- major changes and the purging of those things holding one back. The way the issue is seen by those 'outside' is the need to put the past behind and look to the future.

The greatest hope is that hard work does pay off at the end, and that the time to look back, reflect, and celebrate is near. The outcome of the situation depends on seeing the big picture- it is the power of communication that will rid the major obstacles. There is a lot of energy gathering around the issue that will facilitate understanding and harmony.
