Mirror Dragon Tarot Part 13
The Center card this week is the 10 of Swords. The central focus for the week is about facing the dark truth of how we think ourselves into traps. In working with the Swords, we look directly at how our cognitive thought patterns and accumulated knowledge dictate our actions. The ten brings us to the depths of that place we end up when we listen to our head at the exclusion of our heart. The tens are the apex of each suit, and in the Swords this means logic divorced from reality. Pure thought without regard to outside influence, inner feeling or consequences which may arise. Yes, this sounds dire and it often is. Sometimes we need to get to the very underbelly of an experience before we’re able to knock the ineffective, or even destructive, thinking out of the way and climb back up out of the hole we’ve dug ourselves into. On the positive side, this is the perfect place to make a new start.
