Sensitive Breakup Spread

On This Day

Henry VIII married six times, beheading two of his wives. Catherine Howard was only eighteen years old when Henry sent her to the guillotine.

Henry VIII told his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, they would separate on this day in 1527. The king, upset with Catherine’s inability to produce a male heir, engaged in a salacious affair with Anne Boleyn. Catherine was banished from court and forced to take residence elsewhere. Till the end of her life she ascertained her right as Henry’s only lawful wife and England’s only rightful queen.

Summation of Spread

Three tarot cards embody the emotions and situations of any breakup. The Tower is indicative of shocking change and loss of control when a relationship deteriorates. The Three and Five of Swords reflect damaged feelings, especially with a third party in the mix.

Are you ready to call it quits? Breakups are never easy for either party. The Sensitive Breakup Spread helps to evaluate the situation, explore all options, and conduct the breakup in the most graceful manner possible.
