Tarot Reading for Grief & Healing: Ten of Cups, Ten of Swords + Death Reversed (Five-Card Spread)

Welcome in, Witch.

This is a complimentary service reading I did inside a private group I’m part of, and I’m sharing it here for a reason: so you can see how I actually read. The pacing, the process, the way I connect tarot with astrology, numerology, symbolism, and elemental tone. No last names. No invasive details. No pretending a general reading is the same thing as a private session.

The Spread

This is a five-card spread, and I love it for quick reads because it gives us a beginning, a pressure point, and an outcome, with two bridge-cards that show how the story moves.

Melissa’s cards:

  • Ten of Cups

  • King of Pentacles (Reversed)

  • Ten of Swords Death (Reversed)

  • King of Swords

What this reading explores

When “happiness” becomes nostalgia, and why that matters Depletion, instability, and the King of Pentacles reversed as a drain on the soil Ten of Swords as rock bottom, mental overload, and surviving in small doses Death reversed as resistance, stagnation, and the grief that risks turning into decay King of Swords as the exit strategy: clarity, boundaries, discipline, and practical support

A note on care

This is spiritual work, not medical advice. If you’re dealing with overwhelming grief, trauma, or mental health crisis, get real-world support alongside your spiritual tools. You deserve both.
