Universal Rider Waite Matrix of Light Tarot Polarity Wellness Tarot
I pulled from three different decks, each exploring a different angle of the “caring vs. not caring” theme. Here's what came through:
Caring Too Much vs. Not Caring Deck: Universal Rider Waite
10 of Swords (Caring too much): Painful endings, over-identifying, or overextending ourselves emotionally.
5 of Wands (Not caring): A struggle, or competition — are we checked out, or just tired of the conflict?

Prince of Wands: Bold and compassionate energy. Confidence through empathy.
8 of Disks: Practice keeping healthy boundaries. Stay on course with the original intention.
