Card #46 — Forgiveness
“Don’t carry their crap.”
The Forgiveness card is a release. It reminds you that holding onto resentment keeps you chained, while letting go frees your spirit. Forgiveness is for you, not for them.
Message
This card calls you to set down the heavy bags of anger, bitterness, or betrayal. Carrying the weight of what others have done only keeps you tied to the pain. Forgiveness doesn’t excuse their behavior—it liberates you from being defined by it.
You are not responsible for healing others’ actions or making sense of their choices. What you can do is choose to reclaim your own energy. Release the grip of the past so your hands and heart are free to receive what’s meant for you.
Forgiveness is not a one-time act; it’s a practice. Each time the old wound rises, remind yourself: “I’m not carrying their crap anymore.” Your freedom is more important than their guilt.
Affirmation
I release the weight of resentment. Forgiveness sets me free.
