I’m getting flashbacks of tearful anger, tossing trash bags of junk out to the curb. It’s (thankfully) been a very, very long time since I’ve been in that place. Thank the Gods!
Still, I remember. And I feel very much for anybody in that place.
The Zombie Tarot’s version of the Three of Swords always conjures up the phrase, “Done like dinner.” It’s that breakaway time when there is nothing left to salvage. Even more graphic than it’s more traditional brethren, the heart pictured here has a huge fork in it, with a chunk cut out already.
Ow!
We don’t need to be talking romance. This card often speaks to romantic breakups, but not always. A breakup is a breakup and it can be of any sort—with jobs or ideas or institutions or beliefs. Hell, you could “break up” with your own self image, if it comes to that.
The salient feature is that of severing, a separation, the kind of change where it feels like everything is different and there is a hole left where something that seemed important once resided.
It’s painful sometimes, but also part of life. New cannot arrive if old has not departed. Accept whatever separations come (as if you had a choice), and keep moving. Always, always keep moving.
Are you in the process of separation?

Oh my gosh. So, this was the card Oct. 29 last year, too. Except I accidently had the date Oct. 29, 2013. Weird. And kinda spooky.

That is totally spooky! Yikes!!!
Kinda cool too!
Blegh. Here I was thinking that this card luckily wasn’t for me today. But then the day unfolds and people start poking forks in what you’ve put your heart and soul in. Nothing to do but accept.
