Themes:
abandonment, loneliness in a relationship, sadness and grief, accepting the power of fate, the widow
Interpretation of the card:
A woman, dressed in black as a sign of mourning, sits on a stone. In the background, symbols of her loss can be seen, such as broken pillars and a bleak, desolate, barren landscape. In the past, it was an unwritten law to wear black clothes after the death of a close relative. The surviving spouse usually had to openly show that they were grieving for a year, and were therefore not yet open to a new relationship. This custom was useful as it indicated that the widow/widower was ready for a new partner after their deep and lonely mourning period.
The meaning of the Sadness Symbolon card
1) As a single or first card︱ The problem
WHAT IS THE SUBJECT?
You have strayed far away from your own inner truth. You are repressing pain within yourself, unconsciously hindering the healing process. It is crucial for you to reconnect with your inner self, specifically the part that deals with grief stemming from your relationships. Only by facing and mourning the loss of the person you have lost, will you regain your enthusiasm for life. Healing can only occur when you allow yourself to grieve and express your emotions through tears.
2) As the next card︱Way through the problem
HOW TO DEAL WITH IT?
During your journey, you may have to say goodbye to a relationship or partnership. A period of sorrow and loneliness may lie ahead. It is important to remember that all things are temporary, which will help you maintain your courage during this difficult time. Ultimately, you will come to understand that this process was necessary in order to regain the energy you had invested in your partner.
3) as the last card︱Result
WHERE DOES IT LEAD?
It is ultimately up to you to take responsibility for your relationships. As you progress on your personal growth journey, you will come to realize that your reliance on your partner's emotions and reactions was a form of illusion. By learning to rise above the complexities of your relationship and not placing blame on your partner for mistakes, you will become stronger and more self-sufficient. It's important to take responsibility for own actions and emotions, and try to work on them, this will make the relationship healthier and help to grow as a person.
