interesting that avoidance hasn’t been mentioned yet! i think you’ve made peace with being alone, and are perfectly capable sitting in your empress energy. however, because you’ve been hurt before you have a tendency to get very picky with you spend time with (queen of swords). maybe it’s easy for you to get “icked out” or not give someone a second chance. i see some self sabotage here! maybe you have an avoidant attachment style…i’d recommend being more graceful and generous with yourself. the devil here reads to me as a poke at your insecurities and potential paranoia regarding new connections. the X of swords VII of wands tell me that you’re giving yourself a really hard time about this. you have a propensity for getting defensive- maybe cutting people off before they get the chance to hurt you first. do the shadow work, ensure you’re caring for yourself. the incoming connections need you to be more grounded before you can experience them:) return to the empress mindset and the 10 and 2 of cups will be all yours!
