Did an Istikhara Prayer and Got Mixed Signals – Anyone Else?

Salam everyone, for the first time ever, I tried praying istikhara this Ramadan, totally trusting Allah to guide me in a big decision I had to make. Alhamdulillah, right after, things started lining up and I felt so at peace, like I finally had my answer. But then, after a while, everything flipped and started going the complete opposite way. Now I'm just super confused. Has anyone else had something like this happen after making istikhara?

This exact thing happened to me last year. I realized much later that the 'flip' was actually steering me away from a bad situation. Trust the process.

Been there! Sometimes the answer isn't immediate. Patience is part of the test. May Allah make it easy for you.

I totally get the confusion. My sheikh said sometimes things get harder before the right path clears. The peace you felt first is a good sign.
