10 of Swords

When the 10 of Pentacles makes it's appearance in a reading, many times I receive the question, "...does this mean I'm going to die!!??!!??"  No, I say, no one is going to physically die, but this could mean there is an end of a cycle or situation and the beginning of a new cycle or situation.

Seasons, people, and situations come and go out of our lives, sometimes they can be painful, even when we know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that  the end is inevitable.  There could be a period of lament, sadness, even mourning, which is normal.  Everyone reflects on the past and how things ended; however, we cannot stay there.  We must know that a new day is coming - as the distance of this card shows.  Skies to clear, peace does come, a new day does dawn, which is full of promise, hope, and rebirth.  Today could be your day to start again and try something new.  Go forth and conquer!
