Daily Card: 10. Scythe
🌅 Morning Energy
The daily card sets the tone: the day begins with a sharp twist — like a sudden cut through your usual rhythm. You might wake up with a clear urge to change something, end a cycle, or walk away. This could be a spontaneous decision, an unexpected event, or even a shift in mood. Be ready to act fast — today may demand quick thinking and decisive action.
🌞 Midday Flow
The Scythe’s energy brings rapid changes. You might need to close a chapter, let go of something, or face a sharp situation. It’s a moment to clear out what no longer aligns with your path. If there’s a decision you’ve postponed, this might be the ideal time to make it. Still, be cautious — rushed actions can lead to lasting consequences.
🌙 Evening Mood
By day’s end, you may feel a strange mix of relief and emptiness. Moving forward often requires leaving something behind. If the evening feels sharp or emotionally intense, give yourself space — today may have brought necessary, though difficult, change.
⚠️ What to Watch Out For
Don’t act purely on impulse — a sharp cut can leave scars.
Some connections end not to hurt us,
but to help us breathe again.
Don’t fear the cut — fear staying tied to what no longer belongs.
The Scythe isn’t a punishment — it’s permission to begin again.
Cut gently. Let go with gratitude.
| QUESTION | REFLECTION |

| What do I need to end or release today? | It may be time to let go of a relationship, habit, or task that’s holding you back. |
| Is my decision impulsive or intentional? | Take a few quiet minutes to check: is it wisdom or emotion driving you? |
| What feels too sharp in my life right now? | Too much pressure? Too fast a pace? Words that cut too deep? |
| How can I make the transition smoother? | Maybe talk to someone or choose a gentler plan. |
| What new beginning is waiting once I clear the space? | The Scythe opens the way for something new — what could be born after this shift? |
