In our journey around daring to get our hopes up, how can we begin to tend to the feelings of worry, anxiety and overwhelm that can often arise? Queen of Swords can be an extraordinarily helpful and bolstering Anchor Card for the kinds of invitations that Nine of Cups brings to us, inviting us to slice through our painful stories, get closer to the heart of our emotions, thoughts, and feelings, and invite us to tend ourselves in loving ways.
