The Ten of Swords is a Painful Card that carries a harsh and brutal message. It means that you have reached a point of no return. This failure can be brutal – especially if the Map is associated with The Tower – or be the logical conclusion of a long descent. It can also be the result of betrayal. Either way, this is an ordeal and you feel like you are ‘hitting rock bottom’.
Experiencing “the end” is difficult and painful. The Energy of this Card is that of loss, of completion. You realize that you will never look back and this realization is bitter.
Sometimes the Ten of the Sword indicates that you feel persecuted by the circumstances. You may think it was your fault, that you did not contribute your actions to this terminal situation. You may be tempted to play the archetype of the Victim, asking for support and compassion from those around you.
On the positive side of this Energy, the Ten of the Sword indicates that “It is over!” : the bad period has passed. Painful circumstances no longer have a hold on you and you are now free to move forward in any direction that suits you the most. The Ten of the Sword therefore also marks a moment of liberation, a breath. With that relief comes a hope for renewal and the ability to capitalize on what you have learned so that you don’t (again) fall into the same difficulties. This is especially true when the Ten of the Sword is accompanied by an Ace in the Draw.
The Ten of the Sword indicates that your financial situation is deteriorating. It’s time for you to take action. Forgive the person you were for the mistakes that were made. Adopt a positive attitude so as not to repeat these mistakes and to move towards a healed situation. The Ten of Swords can also warn you against those who would like to take advantage of you and your money. Be very careful in your financial choices and in your investments. If the opportunity sounds too good to be true, it probably is … even if someone you trust brings it to you.
The Ten of Swords is a Card that symbolizes an irremediable and painful end.
If you are in a relationship, the Ten of the Swords can mark the end of your story or the end of a relationship project that is important to you. You are going to have to grieve it and it can be painful, especially if the loss has been abrupt. You may need the professional listening of a therapist to support you through this ordeal. This dialogue should allow you to foresee that, as difficult as it is, this ordeal can give way to “something else”, beautiful things.
If you are looking for Love, it is important to let go of your past, forgive those who have hurt you, and forgive yourself for any mistakes. Without this great reset, you cannot be able to welcome the other back into your Heart. You may need the help of a therapist to do this necessary work.
Your health, both physical and mental, is not in the best place at the moment. Take some time to value what you are doing and change your life accordingly.
