Tarot and Gratitude – The Lord of Ruin, Ten of Swords

Yesterday, the 20th of May, it was the Blasted Tower in the position of my future influences and today, I’m now looking at the Ten of Swords.

Initially, I feel uneasy, but the other cards are calming and profound. Let me explain but firstly, I begin with my gratitude journalling.

What I am grateful for

Today, I’m grateful to have gone shopping for some much-needed clothes due to losing weight. As a result, I now know that I have dropped two sizes since February, which is great news as I have been working on my health. I do need to take more care of my diabetes, and it is time I accept that I have this disease.

Again, I’m sitting in the garden while journalling and it’s such a beautiful place. I also did my self-Reiki here, which was interesting, but I did have some difficulty in fully switching off and being present. I was worrying about sun burn.

Mark is continuing his work on the arbour, and it really is going to be magnificent. I have a vision of fairy lights at night hanging down amidst the Wysteria, Orange Blossom, and Honeysuckle. It will certainly be a magical part of the garden.

I’m also grateful for the client enquiries that I am currently receiving, and the love of Reiki is most certainly felt.

Now it’s time to break down these cards and face some truths. Yesterday, I parked the Blasted Tower and today I’m facing the Ten of Swords. There’s no escaping my feelings this time.

Past Influences: Queen of Pentacles – Queen of the Thrones of Earth

This is me taking time out and enjoying my garden. I know that it’s doing me the world of good. Suddenly, a recent meditation has just instantly flashed across my mind.

During this meditation, read it here, I met ‘The One’, father of the Earth and I, his daughter. I learned that I have always been a spiritual healer and very much in tune with the Universe and the cycle of the sun and moon. This is the starting point of today’s deciphering of the tarot cards hence, no bad feeling about the Ten of Swords.

Present: The Hierophant with The Universe

Magus of the Eternal Gods with The Great One of the Night of Time.

Presently, these two cards most certainly fit in with my meditation experience. I can only describe it as a new awakening. More spiritual wisdom received that is truly enlightening. It is referencing my work, my vocation. Of course, this new knowledge is the beginning of something new. I must remain grounded, practical and ensure no more limitations. If not, I will ruin my work.

Future Influences: Ten of Swords – The Lord of Ruin

Hmm…!

Liberation and significant change are on the horizon.

Again, I’m uncomfortable with the idea of death and thinking of Mark and how much I truly love him.

If I refer to the other cards, the Ten of Swords isn’t a negative aspect. Even the Blasted Tower of yesterday’s reading doesn’t seem negative.

My biggest fear is losing Mark, so it’s no wonder that I will think that straight away. Instead, I’m feeling good things, like nothing I can imagine right now are on the horizon. Also, I have been feeling the presence of a loved one who recently passed, and she is confirming the strength of my psychic abilities. I wonder if this change relates to this.

Is liberation and freedom mine for the taking?
