Three of Swords

As we go through different phases in our lives, we might come to the point where the emotional and mental wounds and feeling of being hurt comes to the point where we cannot really put up with that. The words people say, that hurt us, setbacks, sadness related to that, everything that has been putting us down brings this very moment when a release is needed if necessary.

But don't get entangled into the swirl of emotions you are right to feel at this stage.

The painful period is about to finish ad eventually will help you to become stronger and feeling more self-confident. This is also the time when there are last straws to be felt and drawn. There might be a situation when someone is going to try to criticise you or pierce your heart with something innapriopriate. Don't lose your energy over that. It would help to stay calm and distanced.

What triggers you and pondering on it might be a good lesson of attention.

Self-talk and inner dialogue are extremely important here. The power of words and the message they carry is crucial to the quality of your thinking. And in a long run - the quality of your life.

Working on how to deal with all those harsh words you are dealing with is an indication where you should analyse your actions and intentions. It will definitely result in something bigger but it will also help you to see a wider perspective of your being among others.

Moving on from a loss is another lesson here. Allowing yourself to grieve and understand your pain...

Two of Swords

The decisions that lay in front of us often come with a big burden of something bigger than the issue that is related to the contents of the actual issue.
We are bound to choose and often it is a choice between lesser and the bad or good option but quite often our sense of things is being literally blindfolded. It seems like we have two options that only seem equally worthwhile. The part needs to be played by both our head and our heart.
Which also means that two other cards need to be drawn. Not necessarily literally but in terms of a deeper analysis of the situation. To add a different layer to what we already know. To give an insight into what we only may think we know. To look closer at the problems that are often the after-effect of our deeds and past mistakes.
We might be missing on something we don't know. The possible risks of the situation. The details we omit for certain reasons.
We also avoid the act of making decison. Delaying it for no reason or maybe just out of fear of something we only think we know.
Unfortunately it's not the case of something that will solve itself. We need to put a conscious effor towards it. Difficult decisions rarely come with easy solutions.
Don't overhwelm yourself with the deluge of information. Be introspective. Be yourself and honest to yourself.

Ace of swords

There is a new wave of energy coming and you can slowly embrace it. It has a mark of an intellect and the air energy which is about mental understanding.
You come to the point when something that bound you to certain events in your life cease to have meaning and have a quality that has become an matter of letting go. It's definitely the time when your internal dialogue could implement deeper understanding of who you are.
It might be an excellent idea to create a new project or initiate something that you have held back from for a long time. A great moment for a proper breakthrough.
Mentalising all the forces that drew you back is almost a necessity that can help to cut the ties with all the unnnecessary doubts.
On an every day life level it's a good period to find justice or find the grain of truth in what we live up to.
You might get still discouraged though... A reality check of ideas might not go well. Are they ideas that really interest you? Or maybe it's the case of having too many of them on your plate.
Ace of swords invites you to feel more confident about yourself by re-examing your ideas and shaping them to the form of the life you want. It's about the goals you set - think of it - they can be really measurable, valid, pragmatical, forward-thinking.

Queen of Pentacles

As we have grown and transitioned from being a child to your young adult life and then from being a parent in a long term relationship, we start to feel certain roles that we play or start to see how they were played by people we loved and maybe they are no longer there.
One of those roles is the archeytype and embodiment of a working parent. Someone very stable and reliable and giving such as a mother, a nurtuting figure - giving abundance and provider of both love and stability in material and emotional level. A person who helps to thrive but also on other level is helping to create great connections and alignments.
Prosperity and security gained through hard work is about providing it to yourself and others but also generating generosity and hospitality to the ones we offer love. It's the time to create some certain level of balance on both emotional and material level that is sustainable and a resource that is replenished easily.
Nurtuting others means also nurtuting yourself - while you put yourself into this type of work - you need to create a balance on both sides of the coin - otherwise the fragile construct of work-life balance won't be working as it is supposed to. Understanding this is quite complicated when all the problems heap up and we are in constant process of finding  the solution by simply working more and providing the material resources. But all in all it is usually a short-sighted way of solving things.
On the other hand - your family and home may be taking over and you don't have the mind to take care of your work and focusing on the goals in that area.
The conflict as such is inevitable - the moments when you think and talk to yourself about what would be the best situation, is coming. You need to be prepared to face it and slowly think through what is the best agreement, best additional help to ask for. There are always solutions.

Knight of Pentacles

Work and goals create a special kind of set up which can be an outlet for us to shape a plan or strategy to use the first and reach the latter.
Knight of Pentacles reminds us getting there not by the means of speed but by the means of hard work, routine, perseverance, even some a hint of obstinacy. If you are a person who can plan naturally and know the best course of action then it will be easier to achieve the goals using those tools.
Being meticulous and planning even tiniest details can enhance achieving what we yearn for.
It ia also accepting responsibility without any grudges or complaints. After all this is what you have signed for. It may not be exciting but definitely something that can work.
This  card encourages you to steer away from daydreaming - instead creating a plan that will work.
You may also feel stuck in a position that you don't necessarily like. There is not much to do here but just endure. You may also be stuck in a rut a little bit - maybe a bit of fresh air can help - metaphorically speaking - let yourself open to new ways or trying something new.
There is a warning here - you may have become a perfectionist to the point of being increasingly critical towards others, especially in your work environment. Be careful not too hurt other people's feelings - they put a lot of work into what they do. Try to notice that and respect that.

Page of Pentacles

Our life path is all about manifestations.
We tend to meander from one to the other - planing to use those we have reached to steer us to the next one.
Manifestations can be varied in nature. We can receive gifts of material nature from the Universe. It can be related to our accumulated wealth, career, anything to do with material status and finally our health condition.
We may be dismaed by the potential outcome but in the course of things what really matters is the inspiration, the way we can induce and drive our energy towards achieving certain goals - in other words - it's us who are resonsible for the shape and the contents of the manifestation.
Page of Pentacles is a premise of something quite successful - it encourages us to spread the wings and open ourselves to something we give shape.
On the other hand - we might have all the useful tools and we are on a brink of intiiating something new but we seem not to be entirely ready to open this chapter. It may be the awareness of being not entirely practical or we simply need to step down for a while in order to find more ways to embellish our vision - to see everything as clearly as possible.
The final point is learning from our past mistakes. Things that we have already experienced - teach us the best - because we know that these were meant for us - to use them in building our strength and wisdom.

Ten of Pentacles

When we are at the stage of achieving the goal we have strived for and tried to reach for quite a while, we often ask ourselves all sorts of questions:
- What is out there to be achieved?
- Can I achieve anything more?
- Is that what we have achieved is enough?
- Are the resources I have gained, an excuse to splurge?
There is probably less to worry if we are actually asking ourselves those questions. Problems starts when in our self-righteousness we are set in a mind position where questioning yourself is not an option - especially one issue.
The issue, I mean, is the wealth being a trap. We have forgotten that wealth should be thought of as a byproduct of abundance rather than the actual goal. We forgot about this as we knew what are financial setbacks means, what are the periods without a proper income and financial instability. We mistake our feeling of self-worth with an actual feeling of balance. And all this is surrounded by the fact that there is wealth to be achieved.
There are always some sort of drawbacks that are yet to be revealed. Our marriage or relationship ceased to be a true partnership, our bussines might not be on the right track, our job security might be at risk. All these problems can stem from the fact that we are not with ourselves. We might also lose the feeling of being reassured what is our actual goal in life, which very easily can be turned into certain sort of monetization. Our heart's yearning take a back seat here. Money is becoming the goal itself.
We lose the connection with ourselves, being deluded by an idea of success while the real success is being not only in balance with ourselves but understanding the reasons behind our behavioural patterns. This is obviously quite a big challenge when we take the path of just plodding along.
