pursuit of happiness

   

ten of swords + eight of swords  

“Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”  -Declaration of Independence 

With themes of failure and destruction (Ten of Swords), today's tarotscope is not positive.  We have a querent who is restricted and powerless.  This person is staying in a limiting situation, because he or she is unaware of where else security lies (Eight of Swords), but by quietly staying put, this person is becoming mentally defective.  In some way, our querent is taking the "cheap" route, but this is lowering their mental abilities.  In the midst of their conflict, when seeking solutions to these problems, this person will need to spend more money.

Today's Swords highlight that this querent should take action to improve their mental health.  Current mental illness is worsening because of the fear from being restricted and powerless.  This querent is in a cycle of suffering, where insecurity strengthens a mindset of impotence, which further decreases their confidence, and on and on.  This querent must remember and trust that they are a smart person!  They must overcome and move beyond their current obstacles!!  This person may have forgotten that they deserve and can have a better situation. 

If there had been some issues regarding certain friends, those issues are now history and squarely in the past.  Today's querent should let go of the misery caused by those issues and false friends.  Do not get stuck and hung up on unhealthy relationships.  If those folks are not in the querent's life any longer, then that may very well be a good thing, because those friendships were holding the querent back from taking important actions (the Swords suit).
