If we keep our hearts open to experience, it also leaves us open to having our hearts broken.
It’s hard to see or feel the pain of a broken heart, so working through that broken heart can take many forms. It can feel cheap to think that it will ‘build character’ or ‘make you stronger’ when the pain is still in the heart. But as those feelings are processed, they make room for something new.
Our tarot reader has done tarot readings for Leo, Cancer, and Pisces to see beyond this painful experience working through their broken hearts.
The drawn cards represent:
- Working for You: What is working for you right now.
- Working against you: What is currently working against you.
- Your Hopes: What do you hope for?
- Your Fear: What you fear is happening.
- Advice: A piece of advice on where to look next or how to handle a personal part of the experience.
