The Ten of Wands card suggests that my power today lies in conscience. "He ain't heavy, he's my brother." I own responsibility for the baggage I have chosen to carry but I am ready to lay the weight of a burden or secret I have been hiding behind where it belongs in order to reconcile my conscience. Do I want to be right or alone? I am empowered by blind faith in fulfilling my purpose or greater good to "just do it," and I transform through in passion or direction in principle.

The Ace of Swords card suggests that you should stand up for yourself. Stick to the point, make yourself clear and compare your options objectively before answering or committing to take the next logical step. Understand or identify the cause. You get what you want by trusting your own personal convictions and inner voice. A strategy of asserting your independence, directing the questioning or getting right to the point could make you seem impersonal, indifferent or even bossy, especially if communications are related to romance or happen via cell phone or online. Sometimes you have to cut through the bull while protecting your privacy before you can establish trust or let down your guard. This is only reasonable. Keep your wits about you.
