Inevitable change that opens up to freedom, levity, and more space for what the soul needs.
The energy in this card reveals evidence of outdated pathways or programming, inviting us to stay present and explore the possibility of a new, better system. One that ends a worn-out dynamic that has become unsustainable.
“Only to the extent that we expose ourselves over and over to annihilation can that which is indestructible be found in us.”
We’re tearing down to rebuild ourselves, picking up the pieces, and shaping them to our needs.
It is a bitter period of resignation, where we reluctantly let go of something we thought we depended on. But we’re reminded here that grief has meaning.
