This is the card of sorrow, suffering, and heartbreak. You may be going through a particularly painful experience, such as the end of a friendship or love affair. Things may feel catastrophic, and it's true that nothing will be the same again.

While undeniably painful, this card holds the key to healing and growth. Tears and woe open us up to the possibility of new beginnings. Such grief literally creates more space in the heart. Now is the time to look through tear-cleaned eyes at your life. Like a river whose course is changed by a flood, you will be a different person after this experience. In our willingness to touch the depths of our misery, we transform.
