Okay so the rest of the year.... It's not going to be easy lol. If I can sum this up it's "Ok, but did you die?" Keeping in mind we all have free will depending on what you believe so take this more as something to think about moving forward instead of something set in stone.
I think you have a King of Cups energy and I think that's going to be put to the test. The Kind of Cups is pretty chill, able to keep calm in difficult circumstances, can work through any storm and has an ability to keep his/her feet on the ground. Usually people with this energy have put a lot of work in to be emotionally solid not only for themselves but for the people in their lives. People with this energy have a good balance between their intellect and their emotions and they tend to be so certain of who they are and how they feel that they're not really swayed by any chaos that happens around them. It's a really great and admirable way to be. I don't know you personally, but I do get this vibe off of you so I am assuming that this card will represent you.
You'll see that you have two 10 cards - the Wands and the Swords. 10's are completion carts and they generally happen after some hard fought battles that will really test your will. This is why I'm saying that you may be in for a wild ride this year.
First, with the 10 of Wands we have to ask, who wants to carry 10 fucking sticks around all the time? Who wants the burden of trying to keep them all off the ground? Why keep picking up more and more sticks? Why put in all this extra work and take everything on alone? No one does but so many of us do and a lot of the times it's something we unconsciously do. Someone has to do the work, right? You might find yourself over time taking more and more on. More workload, more responsibility, more burdens on your shoulders. It doesn't just have to be work related either, this could be in your personal life as well. Generally people who get into this 10 of Wands energy find themselves running around like a chicken with their head cut off and forget to take a breath once in a while. People who do this usually end up running the risk of burning themselves out and burning themselves out hard. So if you're finding that over the last little bit you've had more piled on you it's time to start re-prioritizing that so you don't weigh yourself down to the point you can barely move. This kind of re-evaluation ties into the 4 of Pentacles which asks you to think about what's actually important in life. You're going to find yourself circling around to the idea that your time and your health are EVERYTHING and that all of the shit you've been carrying around and trying to do and accomplish is a huge drag on your life and something you might have to consider letting go of.
Usually the 4 of Pentacles is materially focused but I don't really see greed or financial hoarding in you. This can also be money slipping through the cracks. I see this happen with people who work themselves to the bone and then don't have time to do the most basic things for themselves. This can turn into overspending on food or alcohol or entertainment or other vices to try to take the edge off of working so hard (I mean do you see that cheesecake in the Devil's hand? lol). It ends up putting people in a cycle of lacking in self care and it ends up driving them further into the ground which leads to further habits that continue to deteriorate the situation and before you know it you don't know how in the fuck you got where you are and you don't know how to get out again. So be very aware if you're starting to feel burned out in any way and also be aware of you're heading down a slippery slope that you may not know how to get back out of it.
So the Devil Reversed speaks to thing we indulge in that aren't really for our greatest good. This can be the way we treat ourselves, the way we think, how we act under stress, corners we want to cut to try to make things easier but that actually make things harder in the end, etc. The fact that it's in Reverse tells me that you're not actually headed for a full break down but have a chance at a big breakthrough. I hate that word but I don't know what else to call it. It all sounds cheesy to me. Anyway. I think you might be in for an opportunity to face down some fears and to work through some of what might lead you to taking on more than you need to in your life. It might lead to firmer boundaries. It might lead to shifting gears. It might lead to heading in a completely different direction and I think it will but I'll get into that with 10 of Swords. I think this is something a lot of us are going to go through with this pandemic. We are all having to understand that the way we were living before isn't necessarily sustainable and all of the hard work we put in and the blood sweat and tears have amounted to... what? Everything is starting to come to a standstill and we all have to confront the ideas that we have about how we're living and what's important and we all have to draw a line with what we want our life to look like when things open up again. What will we stand for?
So, 10 of Swords - something is getting cut off and it's going to be cut off abruptly. For some people this will be getting laid off. For others it's the end of relationships. It could be a project could end. A contract could be broken. I don't know exactly what it is, but something will end. If something like this happens it's important to remember to go with the flow. Do what you need to do of course, but don't get attached to what you think things should have been because it just prolongs the discomfort. Whatever it is, it's actually of benefit to you and once it's done, it's done. The picture on this card is perfect. I don't know if you're familiar with Golden Girls, but Dorothy's husband walked out on her after decades of marriage and she was devastated. They had a chance to get back together but when it came down to it she realized that she was so much better off alone and that it had opened up so many new doors for her in her life and she knew she could never go back and it would never be the same. It's that kind of vibe. It may be shitty but it will be one of the best things to ever happen to you.
Anyway - I am not a psychic so I can't really say this is how it will all play out but given what we're going through globally it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of people would get a similar reading for how their year will go. I would say in the end it will all be to your benefit even if it feels shitty along the way sometimes. But it's really all up to how you choose to approach things as they arise. I think that's the way it is for most things anyway.
