Today, Chiron, the Wounded Healer, stations, which means it will start the 5-month retrograde - an apparent backwards motion that is all but an illusion. Personally, I find retrogrades bring deep pauses which inevitably lead to deep insights.
What a beautiful card to have drawn on this day, ready for the “backward” motion of the Wounded Healer. Swords represent the mind, the mental plane, the words we speak and think, and the inner critic that holds us too tightly, or in this case, stabs us in the back.
One of my beautiful Tarot guides, Lindsay Mack, has said the following:
“Ten of Swords is a sacred death process to a kind of attachment to our thinking.”
The words below emerged to my inner critic.
I have died ten thousand deaths.
I will die ten thousand more.
For all the mean words circulating in my head,
I will challenge you for no more.
“Come in, take a seat.
Do you want a drink?
Let’s have a two-way conversation.”
“Oh, sure!”
What old stories is your mind too attached to?
How are the words in your mind stabbing you in the back?
What old stories are ready to die?
How can you invite your inner critic to have a two-way conversation?
A sitdown with your inner critic
A sitdown with your inner critic
A sitdown with your inner critic
