10 of Swords

December 12th

My story:
Being stabbed in the back. But even though someone else commited this dishonorable act, you might be the one to blame. The whole stabbing in the back thing might be just your imagination. Putting aside all that is in your head, try to think about what you might have done to cause that person to act that way. The root of the problem might be in your own behavior and other person's actions are just a rebellion against you trying to control them.

General Meaning:
Hititng rock bottom. It's time to let go of an old situation and move on to something new. the experience of betrayal of trust or being backstabbed by associates means you may have been expanding beyond your personal jurisdiction and trying to control too much. letting go of some outmoded habit will set you free. Don't expect others to do your bidding; you will be disappointed by their rebellion.

King of Coins

July 29th

My story:
It's a person who refuses to see life from different perspective, someone who is unable to see the obvious, and as a result takes themselves further from what they want, instead of taking themselves closer to their wish fullfillment.

This person has been burned in the past and became obsessed with security to the point that it makes them seem crazy. They have been either deprived of love and compassion and thus getting to the point that they demand it from all, or they have had so much of it, they forget to stop and appreciate all that was given to them.

For me, personally, this card has came up more than once in a reading for this one person who is very stubborn and refuses to see other people's viewpoint and as a result pushes peple away and creates conflict. His beliefs are damaging to himself and others but no amount of evidence seems to prove it to him. It is too important for him to be right, more important then having normal relationship with others. His way or the highway is his motto.

General Meaning:
A man who sees life from his own perspective, often setting his sights on long term gains. His need for security leaves him boxed in at times, and narrows his view. He has either come from money and has no understanding or sympathy for the poor, or has come from a place of want, which has damaged him and made him obsessive about wealth. His intuitive judgement of human nature is not too good, so he uses a set of prescribed criteria to judge who he will associate or do business with.
