How might you interpret 10 of Swords and Temperance as advice for a way to behave?

Shut up already and be patient!

I like that: Temper the "drama queen" was the first thing that came to mind.

Initially I was tempted to see 10 of Swords like that, but because the two cards are meant to mean behavior, "It's over" isn't really a behavior. I couldn't make it work that way. What does the kitty cat in my Tarot of the Magical Forest 10 of swords do? He just lays there, quiet, dead. Maybe the cards are telling me to play dead lol.

Cute cards. For sure it is not to take yourself or the situation too seriously, even before I saw the cards my thoughts were running towards... It can't get any worse, so get creative and make it work for you instead of against you. Sort of that saying, "When life gives you lemons, do tequila shots... or make a pie."

Interesting. That cat looks unaffected by those swords, in a creepy kind of way.

I would say "feel the pain" - you know, weep deeply, feel miserable, etc. and then clean up when you're done (Temperance).

People need to cry and experience negative feelings to have them cleansed from themselves (and keep things balanced).

Ha, I definitely like this approach. 10 of swords does seem overly dramatic upright or reversed.

I like this. I logged off Facebook ;)

Interesting! Yeah, the cat does seem unaffected. My masseuse told me to make sure that I was experiencing my emotions fully. As someone with strong queen of cups tendencies, sometimes I worry about how to keep that balanced.

Thanks everyone!
