The Steampunk Tarot by Aly Fell

Righteousness will not win friends or influence people. There are many perspectives to choose from that are equally valid to yours. Today, it’s important to allow others to make their own choices. Even if you see the pitfalls or mistakes that may come their way, don’t assume they’re going to happen because they happened to you. You’re not the only one with the answers. Be supportive, without being critical or demanding.
