Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with tarot cards lately, just for kicks, you know? And today I did a reading where the “outcome” card was the 10 of Swords. I’m not gonna lie, seeing all those swords sticking in that guy’s back, it kinda freaked me out a little.
So, first, I pulled the cards, laid them out in the spread, just like the little booklet said. I’d been feeling a little stuck lately, like I needed a big change but didn’t know how to make it happen. I was just hoping for some clarity, some kind of sign about what to do next. And bam, 10 of Swords pops up as the outcome. Talk about a mood killer.
Naturally, my first reaction was, “Oh crap, this is bad.” I mean, who wants to see that as their future? But then I took a deep breath, tried not to panic, and really looked at the card. I started to think, maybe it’s not as awful as it seems. Like, yeah, it looks brutal, but that guy’s down, right? He’s hit rock bottom. Maybe this is just saying that something in my life needs to end so something new can start.
- I spent some time just sitting with the card, trying to figure out what part of my life felt like it was over.
- What was I clinging to that was actually hurting me?
- Was it a job? A relationship? Just a way of thinking?
It took some serious soul-searching, you know, some real digging deep. And you know what? I started to realize some things. There were definitely some patterns in my life, some old habits, that weren’t doing me any favors. They were holding me back, keeping me stuck in the same old rut. This card, this scary 10 of Swords, was actually giving me a wake-up call. It was like, “Hey, you need to let go of this stuff that’s not serving you anymore.” It wasn’t easy to face that, not at all. But it was necessary.
It was kind of a relief, honestly.
Like, okay, this might be a painful ending, but it’s an ending nonetheless. And after an ending, there’s always a new beginning, right? That’s what I’m choosing to focus on now. I’m still not sure exactly what the future holds, but I’m feeling a little more hopeful, a little more ready to move forward, even if it’s a little scary.
This whole 10 of Swords thing, it’s definitely not what I expected, but I think it’s what I needed. It forced me to look at the things I needed to change, and that’s a good thing. Maybe those swords aren’t so bad after all.
