tortured and defeated

  

ten of swords + five of swords  

We've got a querent for whom the death of something feels very dismal, which is an understatement...  Today's martyr is feeling both tortured and defeated, perhaps even self-defeated, as if their own difficulty (or difficulties) fucked up and sabotaged something important to them.  On a mental level, this person is thinking about how they "stabbed" a situation to death, indicated by the overwhelming presence of fifteen swords. Feeling bummed and bottomed out, today's querent cannot envision any sunshine or happiness in their future.

Yesterday we had Ten of Swords in the first position.  Connecting the two taroscopes, it'd seem "an extremely interesting" relationship dynamic has become a bleeding and dying one.  These two cards alone don't clarify whether it's the boyfriend figure or the S.O., but today one of these people feels the loss of the connection more deeply than they felt it yesterday.  It could be the guy who had been in a joyful mindset yesterday, while today his attitude and energy have drastically dropped, as today's infestation of swords shows deep disappointment.

Today's cards come from Mythic Tarot.
