Feelings Lens
ending · rupture · final truth
Read the emotional pattern
A painful pattern may have reached its limit. Focus on the real circumstances and needed closure rather than using the card to declare a predetermined ending.
Separate feeling from inference
Use this lens to explore the emotional quality of a situation. A card cannot verify another person’s private feelings.
- Name the feeling this interpretation brings up in you first.
- Write down the other person’s observable words and actions separately from your explanation of them.
- If it is appropriate to ask, choose a direct question that gives the other person room to describe their own experience.
A question for your side of the connection
What becomes possible when I stop requiring this exhausted situation to give me a different ending?
