The 10♦️ is the card we hold when we have to come to terms with all the disappointments, the losses and all that we might grieve in life.
You may want to hold the K♦️ here too in acknowledgement that there will be grief and loss here.
Radical acceptance is the surrender we need to bear, when faced with the unbearable. This is the card where we become still and say: "let it be so".
Radical acceptance involves fully acknowledging and embracing reality without judgment or resistance even when faced with difficult or painful circumstances. It's a mindset that encourages letting go of the desire for things to be different and embracing the present moment as it is.
This doesn't mean passivity or approval of negative situations but rather a conscious choice to stop fighting against what cannot be changed. This is the ground we need for renewal and regeneration. The sibling card might be the 7♥️ which forms part of a cycle with 6, 8, 9 and 10 of hearts.
“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them - that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like”
