Kitchen Table Tarot

10 of Wands, 5 of Wands, 6 of Swords [The Lightseer Tarot]

Hello, friends. I hope whatever time of day it is, and whatever you’re experiencing right now, that you feel safe and loved. I know quite well that this isn’t always possible, but please know there is an abundance of love for you here.

So, let’s take a look at these cards today. If this message is for you, I hope that it helps place some things in perspective; if not, I hope you may still find value. Taken together, these are reflecting exhaustion and Going Through It. The passionate path you’ve been on has taken you far, through challenges and reward, teaching you a lot about what it means to be successful. It still comes with responsibility, and you may not have anticipated carrying so much at this point. But you can delegate—a load shared is a load halved, and you don’t need to be stoic as the journey winds down. If you aren’t careful about relieving the burdens, or if you’re taking on responsibility for the actions of others, the conflict that ensues may confuse you and extend the journey beyond its natural end. You will find yourself reaching for past glories to illustrate your capability, not acknowledging that they happened in a different time, place, and you. Continuing to carry everyone else’s problems or staying in a flatlining relationship will create discord in all areas of your life. To get past that conflict, you must accept when a journey has run its natural course. Not every traveling companion is here for the long haul, and though it’s painful to part ways and go solo, it will hurt a lot more to stay where you no longer fit. Your mental wounds and trauma cannot heal when they are constantly being picked open by insensitive or dismissive people who claim to be doing it out of love. Leaving harmful things behind can be difficult, especially if they are habitual or represent security. But until you do, cycles of resentment, conflict, and exhaustion will be the only travels you know.

None of this is as hopeless as it might seem right now, but if it resonates, I am truly sorry for your suffering. It matters, and you matter—don’t let anyone tell you differently.

Love and light to you, and remember, you are always welcome at my kitchen table. -KTT 🌻💛
