From the Slow Tarot, the Ten of Swords; from the ROAR Oracle, the Mirabal Sisters:
The Ten of Swords is the end of a cycle, when the intellect realizes it doesn't have everything nicely boxed as it thought. Seeing this lady on the floor in her kitchen suggests a possible "death" from toxic positivity. This mindset emphasizes extreme positivity in all situations, to the point of denying and invalidating negative emotions and experiences. Encouraging statements are used to ward off anything that looks remotely gloomy or detrimental. But suppressed emotions only serve to activate the body's stress response. The Mirabal sisters are considered national heroines of the Dominican Republic for standing up to the brutal dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo. Their message is that we need to stand up for what is true, no matter how difficult that might be.
