So I just did my *What Now* Tarot spread (for those times when you feel stuck, blocked) and I still have the cards out.
I wrote down the results in my Tarot Ā journal, what I think it means, and I’m still awed by how accurate and moving this spread was for me.
And one of my cards was the 10 of Swords. The one we all love to see š End of a cycle blah blah blah but that’s rarely satisfying to tell oneself or anyone else, but this is, after, a spread about feeling stuck. Is the “end” on the way?
Look at him. All those swords in his back. Feel it? Blood on the ground or is it only his cloak (this is a rhetorical question by the way). We don’t know for sure. He’s not looking at us. His head is turned. But his hand is in a mudra. It’s a sign.Ā He’s in transition. End of a cycle, yessssss. This card is most definitely an END.
Do we pull out the swords? How? Somebody has to help us. Save us.
I wrote this in my book: Gently. Don’t bleed out.
This was the third card I pulled, and for the position of “What To Do – actions or thought processes” and the more I tune-in to this card, the more this card feels like (a) death. That the changes to come (good ones – majority of clear positive cards in this spread) are… comprehensive. No Tower card here, but the Wheel of Fortune.
Acceptance. This card is telling me STOP holding on. You know how we tend to hold on to people or situations that blatantly SUCK? Well, stop it. Changes are coming.
In summary š when you see the 10 of Swords, make a sign and surrender.
Love, MP

This card fits. Today I feel far less stuck than yesterday, mostly because someone we thought would resist (by trying to involve us in false solutions) didn’t push us like we thought he would. Things will change. And life will probably get better in the place we love(d) and most likely have to leave. Acceptance is bittersweet but also empowering. As I write this, my progressed IC/MC axis is barely holding on to those last few minutes of the 29th degrees.
Off the subject (or maybe not), but last night we watched the foreign film “Poetry”, a drama we rented from the library last week. I wonder if you’ve seen it? The movie is about much more than poetry in the strictest sense of the word and more about a search to find beauty and meaning beneath the layers of apathy, chaos and corruption and of courageously facing, then naming, what others fail to see. It made me think of you Aliza, since you’re one of the few people I know who actually takes the time to write poetry. I’m a dabbler.
Korean movie? If so, I’ve heard good things about it. I haven’t written a poem in years though… I was writing plays but not this year….
Yes, that’s the one – it’s a Korean movie. Well written words can be like poetry.
