The 10 of Swords (R) can signify things in your life improving, overcoming obstacles and forgiving those who have wronged you in the past. With that, there’s also comes a recognition that you may have hit rock bottom or you may feel like you have no more left to give. If you haven’t been already, now is the the time to really release those things with the acceptance of knowing that things can only get better. The cycle can start again. But first, this release must be initiated by you. There is an opportunity presented here for you to correct what has hurt you but you have to make the effort to and FOR yourself. The 10 of Swords (R) is saying what happened was horrible but everyone has a part played in the responsibilities. Fatigue may have been keeping you from having any enthusiasm or your energy may be too low to motivate yourself but the 10 of Swords (R) urging you to act fast if you want to get the benefit of it. It’s up to you now to pull yourself together. For some of you, (Air signs in particular) change and a release of old attitudes and beliefs is very essential if you want to make the most of this chance. Keep in mind no one can do it for you. The time for self-sacrifice and self-pity is over. Learn from what has happened to you as a gentle reminder to make sure it never happens again. The Empress (R) indicates that you have lost your own willpower and strength because you have started placing too much effort and concern to other people’s. You might be neglecting your own needs—or even smothering the ones you love. On the other hand, you could be relying on others to take care of you and make decisions for you. Work towards building confidence in your own actions and connect with your feminine qualities. The Empress (R) indicates that you have been suppressing or ignoring your feminine side and you need to embrace it in order to help bring your masculine and feminine energies into balance again. Some of you tend to place too much focus on the material and mental matters of life instead of the emotional and spiritual. Or you may have placed too much emphasis on the emotional or material needs of others. Shift your focus to grounding yourself. Don’t sacrifice yourself so much. Make self-love and self-care a priority—rest and receive love. If you can afford it, totally re-invent yourself. The Strength (R) is also a sign that you’re lacking the inner strength that this card usually embodies. Stop comparing yourself to others and focus on your own path; learn to stand on your feet and remember you have all the inner power and strength to overcome anything. Let the Strength (R) be a reminder that you need to learn how to channel your raw emotions. Otherwise, you may act without thinking or say things you’ll regret later. Try to reconnect with this power you once had. You may have forgotten joy, happiness, and fulfillment that you felt when you were doing things with passion and love. Your heart may not be in what you do. Stop trying to control life so much, let go a little bit and see what life unfolds.

The Wheel of Fortune (R) wants you look and ask yourself if there has been any negative and repetitive patterns forming in your life. These problems or obstacles could be returning to you over and over again and that’s because the Universe is giving you the opportunity to correct and resolve them. Keep in mind, when the wheel begins to turn you may realize the things you’ve done in the past to caused the problems you have now. Remember that when you reach the lowest point on the wheel there is nowhere for it to go but up once more. Even though you may have missed out on an opportunity, remember that the Universe will always give you a second chance. Patience and understanding is required of you at this moment.

For others of you, The 2 of Wands sometimes represents being at a crossroads in your life and not knowing which direction to take. The Lovers indicates a choice—a choice between things that are opposing and mutually exclusive. This could be a dilemma that you need to think about carefully and make the best decision for your situation. The Lovers can also apply to your individual development; your own personal beliefs regardless of what the societal norms are. Be as true to yourself as you can be. Learn to love yourself before you can love another. True fulfillment comes within. You may struggle with a decision but the 2 of Wands urges there is more than just you to take into consideration. This decision you need to make may effect others. It may involve leaving someone or something behind. This can often cause turmoil and upset those around you but if they had been paying attention then they would have seen and known you were unhappy with past or present circumstances. The 2 of Wands requires time and asks you for patience in order for the situation to be seen clearly. Discovery is also another meaning for the 2 of Wands. Stepping out of your cocoon and exploring new experiences and worlds. This might seem tough and difficult especially at the beginning stages but the 2 of Wands encourages you to push forward.
