Embracing Healing and Renewal: A Morning Journey Through Tarot and Transformation

Ten of Swords

Hello, beautiful souls. Today, I want to share a deeply personal reflection that has been illuminated by my recent tarot reading. As a spiritual coach and alchemist, I believe in the transformative power of tarot as a tool for guidance and healing. 

This morning, I drew a spread that truly resonated with my current journey. The Four of Wands reminded me of the strength found in community and celebration, the Ace of Pentacles signified new beginnings and opportunities, while the Ten of Swords and Three of Swords spoke to the pain of endings and emotional wounds. Finally, the Knight of Pentacles grounded the reading with a message of patience, perseverance, and steady progress. 

The Ten of Swords has been a powerful mirror for me. It represents an ending—a necessary but painful closure that allows space for something new to emerge. For those of us walking the spiritual path, these moments of surrender can feel like being stripped bare, left to rebuild from the ashes of what was. It can be easy to focus on the betrayal, the grief, or the loss, but what the Ten of Swords ultimately teaches us is liberation. The dawn always follows the darkness, and the release of what no longer serves us is an invitation to step fully into our next chapter. 

Through this journey, I’ve also been reminded of the incredible strength of community. After withdrawing due to a painful experience, I was welcomed back with open arms and unwavering support. This is the essence of healing—not just doing the inner work but allowing ourselves to be held by those who truly see and honor us. 

If you’re moving through a Ten of Swords moment in your own life, I invite you to sit with these questions and I encourage you to think of them as journal prompts:

• What is ending that I’ve been resisting?

• What new opportunities are waiting for me once I release the past? 

• How can I invite steady, grounded action into my healing journey? 

Remember, every painful ending carries the seed of a new beginning. Trust that you are being guided toward something greater, and allow yourself to walk forward with grace, knowing that you are never alone on this path. 

With love and transformation, 

Una
