What do I most need to get through my di

What you most need is not a strategy for winning the divorce — it's your own footing, held warmly, while the facts get sorted out on paper.

Past — Five of Wands, reversed. The fight didn't stop when the marriage did. It went inward: arguments rehearsed against yourself, every disagreement a verdict about your own adequacy. Reversed, this is conflict that has nowhere left to go but at you.

Present — Queen of Wands, upright. This is the card that answers your question. Warmth, self-possession, standing on your own ground without becoming cold to get there. Not a hardened stance — a *located* one: knowing which parts of you are still warm, and which room you've stopped wanting to argue in.

Future — The Moon, reversed. Under those conditions, the fog lifts rather than thickens. What's coming is fewer things you're afraid of, not more things you're sure about. Reversed Moon is clarity arriving as fog recedes — slowly, and not as the relief you expected.

The shape of the three: two Wands in fire, one Moon in water. The whole reading is about heat — where the anger went, and whether it warms your life or just dries you out.

Two checks, and both are about paper, not cards. If what a lawyer or mediator tells you comes back as a clear number, a date, or a specific line — then the Queen of Wands stance holds: you negotiate from warmth, you know your terms, and you stop litigating with yourself. If what comes back is still vague, or you can't afford one yet — then the Moon reversed is not about your future at all; it's about your own picture of the future, and the fix is getting the facts onto paper, not deciding how you feel about them.

What the cards can't tell you: anything about the legal or financial reality of your divorce. That's a lawyer or a mediator's job, not mine.

One step, before the week ends: write down the single question you've been avoiding asking whoever actually knows the facts — your lawyer, a mediator, or a family adviser — and send it in writing, then get the answer in writing. A deadline you can see, or a number you didn't expect, is worth more here than any amount of deciding in your head.
