The category of life is:: Financial
My question is:: Will we get back on top of everything have had a rough year people ripping us off and had to walk away from a lot of owed money which has really set us back feel like we are about to lose everything
That’s just a yes-or-no question, and the answer is a clear ‘yes.’ The question isn’t that useful to you, though, so I have tailored and amended it to: Beginning now and up to a year from now, how well will I get out of this financial stall, and give me an idea how to do it.

GUIDANCE Wrecks change us. Wrecks change the people around us. Wrecks – ours and theirs – are turning points … are changes of direction … in the biography of our lives. These are the things we remember the dates of, and count down to. Pain etches landmarks on everyone’s life. Pain focuses us on what’s really going on. I am stronger than what lays me low. If I hadn’t crashed, I would not be where I am now, or who I am now.

Ten of Swords – Hermit – Knight of Pentacles

LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
……….………. Two of our Rider Waite Tarot cards are about focusing on something, looking at it, and being devoted to it. Hermit and Knight of Pentacles are two very different types of people. Hermit is the elderly humble servant of God, the service monk, whose focus is finding his people, bringing truth to them, and helping them. Knight of Pentacles is the very physical strongman, Mr. Macho Man, and his focus involves his self interest, and may even be obsessive. The other card makes the distinction and the difference between these two, Hermit and Knight of Pentacles, incidental: Ten of Swords is the devastating loss, the humiliation. The gist of our message today is that hitting bottom focuses us. Whoever we are.
…………………….Ten of Swords gets our attention because it lays us low. When we are overdue for a correction on our course, sure enough, ‘something’ happens. Ten of Swords represents that devastating correctional ‘something.’ In the same way that a person the spotlight is on, in our lives, is not necessarily a dominant personality, some Tarot cards just take over the spread without being major contributors to the story-line. Ten of Swords is such a card. Usually there’s drama around it.
Expect a feeling of disappointment to be the hallmark of Ten of Swords. Although it can be devastating, be ruin, be a near-death experience or a death, among today’s meanings are these lesser ones: pain, suffering, hurting, being sorry and sorry for oneself, feeling awful, ‘lay me low,’ screw-ups, powers are compromised, victim, and, mainly failure. Loss and failure are at the top of the rung in the dictionary of Ten of Swords.
…………………….Hermit represents the search, looking for and finding – investigating. It can be about the spiritual path, since a monk is in its illustration, and it is a religious – so in the same way Justice can be a lawyer and King of Swords can be enforcement (police), Hermit can be a professional religious person. It can be about a physical search, usually outdoors on roads. Another focus of Hermit is helping: He is looking for travelers to offer them a place to stay and a meal. Hermit also represents wisdom, maturity, advice (counselor, wise friend’s), and medical treatment as a healer or doctor. He is wearing what signified a doctor in his day. Hermit also means a person who come to, or who approaches, the other person: ‘He calls you. Hermit is the type of older person who has invested his time on earth wisely: maturity. Maturity is a dirty word these days.
……………………Knight of Pentacles is very physical in its intense focus; is about determination and ambition; is a strong man in his prime; represents that pig-headed stubbornness we recognize belongs disproportionately to the male gender (not just the human mammals, of course). So Knight of Pentacles represents drive. Stereotype is the stocky broad-chested muscular-armed oil field roustabout or diesel mechanic – the fellow with the assertive voice who is very outgoing and can be pugilistic,macho, or even a punk. But you like him. Usually. ‘Muscle.’ (That doesn’t mean he can’t be a hard-driving snarky lawyer or stockbroker.)
…………….……….. Hermit and Knight of Pentacles Today, with Hermit (who is seeking and understanding and investigating) at his side (and having his back to him), Mr. Knight of Pentacles is mostly about focus and priority. ‘First things first’ is Knight of Pentacles’ slogan. Hermit and Knight of Pentacles both ‘see that.’ Observing, watching, and being focused on something belong to both of these fellows. Together they can say ‘One thing is true,’ because Hermit is the truth as well as the seeker of it. ‘Fully realize (Knight of Pentacles) the truth (Hermit)’ is also here.
…………….………. Ten of Swords and Hermit Ten of Swords and Hermit can be a doctor focusing on pain or treating an injury. Ten of Swords and Hermit also describes understanding the downside, and even investigating a murder, because Hermit is an investigator.
…………….………… Ten of Swords and Knight of Pentacles _Ten of Swords and Knight of Pentacles are about focusing on pain, as well as about the kind of focus suffering contributes to life.
Just as physical pain alerts me to make a change to prevent some damage, psychic pain alerts me to something being awry in my situation or in my doings. I get a queasy feeling about something, and, from past experience, know to at least consider withdrawing from whatever it is. Something smells really good; it’s good to eat … or associate with. Listening to the barometer in my gut has served as a compass that is accurate most of the time. It’s easier to forgive myself if nothing bad happens when I thought it would, than when I charge ahead in spite of the flashing red light in the back of my mind … and crash.

Ten of Swords……….Ten of Swords is a very bad day. There are some only-mildly-awful effects to Ten of Swords, some mere disappointments. What you see is: stabbed in the back, done in, the bleeding victim. Ten of Swords often translates ‘failure’ and ‘loss.’ It can be feeling humiliated, feeling very sorry or devastated, or just feeling down. It is sometimes self-pity or a martyred act (in which case, look for cards about acting a role, and/or identify cards).
BUT. Put it in the company of other heavy cards in a question about peril or danger – cards like Seven of Swords, Five of Wands, Six of Wands, Tower and Devil, to name a few – and you’ve got yourself a murder or serious injury or assault. You seldom see a convergence of really-bad cards and nothing but them. I got 14 of them when I knew my house was going to be set on fire, and my attempts to prevent it were ineffectual. Tarot validated an extreme disaster. If there are no modifying cards that negate (cancel out) or soften the bad news, watch out.
.
Hermit………….Hermit is one of those broad-spectrum cards, with elements of its illustration creating meanings that have little to do with one another. You intuitively see that a person who has searched for many years has a lot of useful and practical knowledge about life – is ‘old and wise.’ The old man is out looking for people to help, and is calmly going about that task, so the ‘helping’ theme is fairly obvious. The investigation meanings, the medical meanings, the friend meanings, the journey or road-trip meanings: Those are not apparent from the picture until you know the back story.
.
Knight of Pentacles…………Knight of Pentacles, he’s ‘got one thing on his mind,’ and his picture says that. He is physically sturdy and compact – and so is the horse he road in on. Knight of Pentacles is tough. Priority One is a good portion of his meanings. ‘Focus’ is his favorite term. Determination, drive, physical strength, and force are in the picture here. He aims to succeed at some specific priority.
