Whether good or bad, things are not as they were previously. It seems as though you're headed for, or already in, a rough patch of sorts; but it's nothing compared to what you've been through before. Were you, or someone you know doing research of some kind recently? Maybe for a thesis, or something else important? It seems as though whatever energy you put out there will be returned to you, that is your best possible outcome, but is not necessarily the only one. Be positive, and your end result will be positive as well. It seems as though you might have some good news headed your way soon, as the card drawn here was not in reverse. I hope all is well. It's possible you have a person in your life who is telling you to go a certain way, if you've been hesitant to listen to them, you may want to try and hear them out more intently. Are you afraid, or is someone afraid for you? Being that this is an external influence, try and evaluate the people who know about where you want to go, and talk with those who seem to being worrying too much. You can do this. You'll be alright. Are you fighting with someone over what direction you're trying to go? It seems as though your final outcome will result in the end to that conflict, however, there is a possibility it could also create more. Be careful in how you deal with this. You can find each card's meaning linked to the name of the card itself. I don't know if my view on your situation was accurate, considering I am not able to tell what directions you've been wanting to go in life, but maybe if you read the card meanings yourself, you'll find the answer you're looking for. :)
