Answer:
GOOD FORTUNE, VICTORY, BAD NEWS, ENDING
Sacrifice. Victory at a cost, a lucky turn of events at a dire time. Bad news in the short term to overcome worse news (if we can believe it) in the long-term. A bittersweet accomplishment that was very much needed. At the same time, some luck/victory of the past is being subverted - something that was believed to have turned out well is showing itself to have been a bad idea. An era is coming to an end in an unsatisfying way at first glance, but it is the ending that must be celebrated - not the way things went.
You may or may not know that you are calling a new presence into your life, who looks upon you with great affection and will be a key inspiration to resolving certain conundrums you face.
