The 6♥️ 7♥️ 8♥️ 9♥️ and 10♥️ work together. Perhaps lay them out in a circle as they are all part of a cycle

The 7♥️ represents the descent into the darker season. This is like the brambly thicket in our image. This is the season of wintering. Things may not make sense. This is an I-don't-know space. Like our card, we might not know which way is up. We can feel confused, lost and scared here. But the circle inside reminds us there is always a way forwards. Do not give up. You are not alone.

While you are here, you might want to spend a little time with the 10♣️ because this is the time to become small, to be humble. The darkness teaches about finding our right size, to surrender and to be still. This can feel like a place of emptiness but don't be fooled. This is like the dark earth, a place full of potential and mystery. A place which is unseen but where creation happens.

As human creatures we fear what we cannot see, we fear the unknown. So it is natural if you find it challenging to be in this place. If you need support when you are here, have a look at some of the other cards in the pack. How about the 5♦️, or the 10♦️ or K♦️? And remember too, this is part of a cycle so now is time to move onto the 8♥️…
