The Ten of Swords is the energy we are being invited to pay attention to, making deliberate choices in order to see the results we’re longing for.

It’s a reminder that sometimes falling is inevitable. That at times, it feels like we have no support, like life is out to get us.

And in those times victim mindset will only make it harder to flow with life, to learn our lessons. To pick up the pieces.

While we don’t have control over life, and our feelings are always valid, shifting mindsets can shift perspective. Life is not happening to us, but rather for us.

The High Priestess is the potential energy we could have access to if we choose mindfully around where the Ten of Swords is showing up in our lives.

They are wisdom and ritual, embodied.

They are healing and transformation.

They are us, becoming our ancestors wildest dreams.

They are cycles and liminal space. Non-binary. The keeper of paradox.

Through embracing it ALL, they float, rather than fall.

The consciousness that wants to help us turn our struggles and sacrifices into wisdom and power is the goddess Eirene- peace. Tender and loving. Full of life.

Notice where the feeling tone of the Ten of Swords is showing up in your life.

Where do you feel like everything is coming undone and you have no support? Where are you sacrificing, collapsing, feeling powerless?

And what can you shift, either in mindset or in tangible reality that might align you more with peace, even in the midst of challenges? Where can you call in more tenderness? Is there support you can call on so you can feel held, either internally or externally.

And then think about the feeling tone of the High Priestess. What do they feel like in your body? Where does that tone already exist? Where is it starting to show up? Where can you orient more towards it?

Have courage, dear visionaries and wild hearts.
