Contemplative Tarot: What to Do with Darkness

Shadow, Self, and Soul:

What are these dark felings? The Tower suggests that something in my foundational beliefs is shifting. Maybe I’m being asked to believe that conflict doesn’t mean everything is ruined—that even real upheaval can lead to growth.

I wonder. I ask myself: What are these dark feelings revealing? Can I still feel my longing for joy, for connection, for peace? That longing is part of me—and it points me back to the vision I hold of emotional harmony and belonging (Ten of Cups).

My soul reminds me that emotions aren’t obstacles. They’re signals. They guide me toward what matters. So I choose to keep going—not forcefully, but faithfully (Knight of Cups). I let my heart stay open, and I let my soul guide me, even through uncertain waters.
