Is there a Tarot card that gives advice on ‘Conscious Uncoupling’?

And with ten swords sticking out of your back, the process looks to have the potential to be a bloody process.   And I must say quite a few clients get a fright when they see it.

Last week a client came for a tarot reading in Battersea.  She sat across from me on a beautiful sunny day in my conservatory and pulled the Ten of Swords as a best course of action in her relationship. Oh NO!  I was quick to jump in and assure her that the Ten of Swords is about transformation which comes out of letting go of control.  You are not going to bleed to death, however you are being asked to let go of controlling others, let go of your ego trying to control things.   She still looked worried.

Everyone talks about the Ego as if it’s a great big bully who controls us, and we all know bullies want things their own way, so letting go of control from this perspective is not going to be easy.

Letting go of any situation to allow a new chapter, and in this case a long standing relationship is probably not going to be comfortable either way.  However the ten of swords is actually alerting you, quite forcefully admittedly, that there is another way you can do it without bleeding to death, and that’s by not resisting, instead consciously letting go….. consciously not getting upset when our ego is affronted, and you can afford to practice that if it heralds transformation!

‘Conscious Uncoupling’ my client cried.  That’s what it means and that’s what I am trying to do.  What I want to do.  I want to end this relationship kindly, respectfully, without too many cuts to the ego’

 Swords are about truth, and boy how many times do we hurt people unnecessarily with what we call the TRUTH.  And everyone’s got their own version of the truth.  So lots of care and self-awareness is needed in conscious uncoupling.  As is when anyone has the Ten of Swords in a tarot reading.  I haven’t read the book on conscious coupling or tried it but I am writing this blog because my client sat across from me in Battersea and persuaded me that in her tarot reading that is exactly what the Ten of Swords meant.

I think she was spot on.   Thank you so much for the insight and very good luck!
