This is not a time to try to hold on to things, ideas, situations, or people which may have run their course in your life. You must make room in your life/heart/emotions/spirit for new things to come to you. Time alone will be helpful. Have you done all the healing that you need to do? The answers you seek are within you, although you may need help to bring them to the surface. Talk with someone you trust.

Reversed Cards: The Three of Swords is linked to the planet Saturn. Saturn is the planet of limit and restriction. In the upright position, we could explore the limit of Saturn being expressed via grief or sorrow, but here we see its blocked. There is no way to release it from this position. You are locked in. You made your decision in the Two of Swords, and now you are stuck with that decision here in the blocked aspect. And guess what? It sucks! It is causing you all sorts of pain and anguish. But under Saturns cruel gaze, you are going to have to suck it up and just get on with it. Despite how much pain this is causing you right now, you have no choice but to see it through to the end.
Complete Book of Tarot: Lets do an experiment. Take the Tower (trump XVI) from your tarot deck. In Llewellyns Classic Tarot, the scene depicts a tower struck and shattered by lightning. Two occupants of the tower fall headfirst toward the rocks below. In mythology, the thunderbolt is a favorite weapon of the gods who evidence their displeasure by hurling bolts of lightning at mortals below. The Greek philosopher Heraclitus believed that the sky god Zeus represented the ordaining pattern of the universe and that Zeus thunderbolt symbolized divine force steering the course of events.

Complete Book of Tarot: This method makes use of the entire seventy-eight-card deck divided into thirteen six-card spreads (13 x 6 = 78). Choose a significator card to represent the querent. This can be done by matching the querents personality to one of the court cards, or in any other way you and the querent see fit. Shuffle and cut the cards, and then reassemble the deck. Beginning with house 1, proceed around the wheel placing one card in each house and one card in the center of the wheel (13 cards in all). Continue this process until the entire pack is used up. You will now have thirteen stacks of cards, one stack in each house and one stack in the center of the wheel. Each stack will contain six cards.
