Finance, Money Matters Or Debt:

The reversed Ten of Swords can indicate that you have taken some constructive and important steps to improve your financial situation. This is a good thing. It’s easy to fall back into old, bad habits, however. Be vigilant and careful. You are on the right track; stay there.

Card Meanings: Surviving Disaster, Being Saved, Courage, Positive Energy, Worst Is Yet To Come, Good Health, Relapse, Things Getting Better, Being Beyond Help, Total Ruin, Pulling Yourself Together, Learning From Past Hardships, Fears Coming True, Over The Worst, Escaping Ruin, Despair, Rising Above Problems/Haters/Bitchiness

As I said in my first examination of this card, the Lord of Ruin is much more about what we invite into our lives with negative and unhelpful thought patterns, than it is about outside events. When we pay close attention to the things we wish ourselves, ensuring that our thoughts are as bright as possible, we attract goodness and positive energy into life. If, on the other hand, we are careless in examining what we think, feel, desire and dream of….allowing ourselves to slide into habits that diminish us, living more by fear than by love…..then we draw bad things into life. The trickiest bit about this positive thinking business is that its effects project into the future…and we are strongly affected by our experience of the present. If things seem to be going wrong, life is heavy and difficult, we tend to have negative reactions to things. Unfortunately, though, having those negative reactions in the present condemns us to further difficulties in the future.

So you can see it is essential to somehow break out of the downward spiral. Positive thinking is a habit. So is negative thinking. And, as with all habits, it can be very awkward to change the pattern. Constant vigilance is required. We need to monitor our thoughts and feelings VERY carefully. And as soon as we discover that we are starting to think dark thoughts we need to pounce, snatching that thought up and determining where it has come from. This applies as much to our deepest inner responses as it does to our responses to external stimuli. Life is always throwing the curve ball at you, just to see if you can catch it. And harmonising yourself with the rhythm of life is – beside being the greatest reward of all – a very big challenge. It does help, though, to try to interpret events in terms of your own reactions……this gives you a good reason to watch yourself carefully in the present. Try this – find something that you currently feel unhappy, frustrated, shocked, hurt about….. Take a good look at the overview of this…..try to separate the differing elements of the problem.

Angel Insights : Hank laughed. ‘She was a little shocked,’ he replied. ‘But I insisted that she take it. I told her not to worry: I was going to pick up an extra shift at work to make up for some of the money. So I didn’t earn anything today—I just worked a shift for a friend.’

Creative Tarot: With ten swords, the man is destroyed under their weight. The swords represent thoughts, ideas, fears. They are not useful because there are too many of them. The Ten of Swords is a card of defeat. There is nowhere else for his thoughts to go; they have destroyed him and his potential. The hope of the card is the gaze toward the horizon. His act of surrender can lead to a new beginning, but first the defeat must be felt.

Reversed Cards: What do you do with the ‘other half’ of the tarot deck: the reversed cards? Experienced and beginning tarot readers alike often struggle with interpreting cards when they’re upside down.

Reversed Cards: Here in the High Priestess card, we move from the singular to the plural, from one to two. The two is not an easy number to deal with, nor is it an easy number to work with, which seems appropriate for the High Priestess. The most important thing to remember about a two is that it doesn’t like being alone. It needs to be working with someone or something. Duality is the name of the game here in the world of the two. Two heads, two ideas, two worlds, two selves—always two, never one. And this is where the ego can cause problems. The ego is the one, the individual, the singular. This just won’t work here in the house of the two. I have always thought this is why some people struggle to make a connection with the High Priestess, regardless of whether she is right-side up or upside down. This is the challenge of the two. She knows things you don’t. She stands with one foot in the physical world and one in the vibrational. Whatever success your ego thinks it has had, the High Priestess knows you have yet to actually accomplish anything. The two and the High Priestess remind you that you are not just having this one physical journey. There is also the spiritual journey. Two selves, both trying to figure out who they are and why they exist.
