I feel I can already place signs. And the last time I talked to T, he told me that he'd not do anything else to the land - cutting trees / moving dirt and such. I said, "I reckon, that's as it should be considering what's been done." He just looked at me...

All this talking of cards got me wondering. So, I decided to read the cards about this situation. While, shuffling I asked the cards to talk to me, to tell me the things I needed to know right now as well asking them if I was doing the right thing about this situation. The card were not placed in their natural order since, I’d shuffled and used them before putting them up the last time they were used. I also should let you know that pulling high cards while reading cards is not unusual for me - it happens nearly every time I read.
I felt lead to not place a layout; but to turn the deck over in my hand to see what card was on the bottom.
The High Priestess sat gazing at me.
I then looked at the card on top and was greeted by the Ace of Swords.
Next, I picked up part of the deck and The Magician grinned back.
I then decided to take a look at what might be backing up the High Priestess and watching her back is The Empress, so I could not help but, to see what was backing up The Empress and find The Emperor and then behind him stands The Hierophant. Hmmm.
I turned the deck and checked the card sitting with the Ace of Swords and find The Hanged Man.
Then, I checked the card in front of The Magician and find the 4 of Swords, Then I looked to see who had The Magician’s back and was greeted by the Knight of Cups - Jack of Hearts.
The High Priestess - This card tells me to trust my inner knowledge and intuition, rather than my conscious mind. That I should pay attention to my dreams. She also tells me that I do not have all the information and that I should dig deeper. And that I should move out of my comfort zone. She also tells me to protect knowledge, since knowledge in the wrong hand can cause major damage.
Ace of Swords - Spades - This card tells of a new beginning and even if I am worried or afraid that I should do what needs to be done anyway. That I should seek justice and truth and to not worry about any setbacks in progress. To stand up to the challenge before me, while focusing on clarity, insight, vision and honesty.
The Magician - This is a card that signifies regeneration and that it is within me to make a difference. That rather than dwelling on being victimized I should be aware of my own higher energy and power as well as any resources whether those are material or spiritual and then to tap into them to bring about the greater good. This card represents a call to action.
The Empress - The Emperor - The Hierophant all back up The High Priestess. These cards tell me that I am doing the right thing and have the blessings of my father (The Hierophant ) and grandfather (The Emperor) as well as the original sentinel who’s marked the area with his sign.
The Empress - My Own Card - Tells me that I am on the right track and that the power of love protects me as well as the significance of the power of love radiating outward from me to others. However, it is the power of my love that makes me vulnerable. (This make great sense to me since, even though what has been done - I do love he who‘s done the deed - T) She also tells me that things take time and to continue to nurture. This card tells me to trust and follow my intuition, to trust any messages as well as any warnings.
The Emperor - This card signifies to me the qualities of my paternal ancestors who’ve come before me. They have already established our family line. It represents my plea for their authority, wisdom and advice. It tells me that they do understand my need for their guidance, while also having the ability to tap into the/their spirits. They will guide me, and I must stick to the plan. It also tells me that I need to take time to rest in order to ground myself.
The Hierophant - This card signifies doing the right thing and playing by the rules. It is also one of my cards, which explains the feelings of being upset about the rules being broken no matter who is in charge. It is a card that represents the feelings of keeping balance for the entire group. This card backs up the feelings of being responsible and organized as well as taking the time to rest and gather strength.
The Hanged Man - This card tells me to be calm and sit still - to wait. It also tells me that I should let go of that which holds me back. (Letting go of the natural respect I have for T - he should in some way not be respected as an uncle as much as I‘ve been taught or that I feel.) It is time for deep contemplation as well as research. Things will change given time.
4 of Swords - Clubs - This card tells me to take the time to rest, while opening myself up to dreams and contemplation in order to gain a better perspective and to meditate for more answers or a better understanding. It is a reminder to me that yes, I am tired and I do need to slow down and rest in order to gain the strength I will need.
Knight of Cups - Jack of Hearts - This card is a messenger card and the message is good news. It is a reminder to me to not become too over-emotional. It speaks of the ability to read the feelings of others and with it a better understanding of whom the sentiments come from. It is another card that encourages me to be open and trusting of intuition and spiritual messages.

So, I just wanted to share with you - that you are right. The things that have come to pass are things that were meant to be (even if it hurts)
But, just because these things have happened, does not mean that they will stay the same. Things will change for the better. Things just take time and present themselves in their own time and there is no need to struggle (even if it PO's you off and causes upset). Calm down, relax and gather what's needed, while planning.
Whatever isn't dealt with here will be dealt with there.
( A message that my dad gave me to give T, but the time has not been right for me to do so, besides with the way I was raised not an easy thing to do, but T will know these are his brothers words and not my own. That is, He told me to tell T this: "We're all Waiting For You. We are going to have an as$-kicking party when you get here; and your the a$s!")
