10 of Swords Transformational Potential
When this card comes into your spread you are at a low point about the situation, however from here you are able to take an improved path. Allow yourself to find your depths of spiritual resource and heights of spiritual support. You can do this by being alone and allowing your feelings to come through and then sending yourself love from the highest place. Meditation will also help at this time. The situation itself is about to change and what you will lose is not of value – to the contrary, you will gain a good deal of healing and insight as you let go. Joy will return. Allow yourself to trust.
