April 11 - Ten of Swords

Woe is me.

I was unpleasantly surprised to get the Ten of Swords again after I just drew it last Friday, so I pulled another card for clarification. It was the Two of Pentacles, but the Wheel wanted to come along, so I'm including it in the reading as well.

The message I'm seeing here is of being thrown off balance by an unforseen event and not being able to go back to the way things were before.

A very literal interpretation of this could be a fall or even an accident, especially one involving a bicycle or motorcycle. I don't have one of those, but I know people who do. Hopefully that isn't the case, but even if were, it shouldn't be serious given that neither Death note The Tower came up.

This reading might also apply to my finances. I've been doing a bit of a juggling act, so an unforseen major expense could be potentially catastrophic.

Now I'm just going to cross my fingers and hope for the best.

April 6 - 10 of Swords

Yikes! I never like pulling the Ten of Swords, but yesterday I watched The Passion of the Christ, and today is Good Friday, to this card makes sense as it captures the essence of Jesus's crucifixion.

I think this card is saying I should think about the topic of death and rebirth in my own life. Is there anything in my life now that isn't serving my greatest good and my highest ideals? What can I let go of so that I will be more aligned with what I'm trying to create?

Old habits die hard, but sometimes the reward is worth the sacrifice.

Update: I was really hoping that none of those typical, nasty Ten of Swords scenarios would play out today, but alas I had a very unfortunate confrontation with a customer service representative from my wireless service provider. Im still shaken up. Grrr.
