page of pentacles

page of pentacles + ten of swords  

   With the Page of Pentacles being an earth card, our querent might be a responsible Virgo bringing about the end of a situation which negatively affects him or her.  This person accepts that they've been weakened and consequently that their dignity is decreased (Ten of Swords).  To effectively manifest ambitions, the querent must move beyond a dark circumstance, which has not only lessened their self-respect, but is also taking away their independence.

   All of this is consistent with a reading from earlier this week, about the strong querent who's being roped into a destabilizing situation / event - WILLPOWER TO TRANSFORM.  If we connect the two taroscopes, becoming or being prosperous has not been straighforward for this practical person.  They've needed to protect themself and their goals (Ten of Swords), defensive against ineffectual interactions with folks who aren't earthy and trustworthy.  I hate this, but today's reading confirms this strong querent has finally been defeated and ruined.
