TEN OF SWORDS

Like a handful of cards from the swords suit, the Ten of Swords suggests a difficult and sometimes painful ending to a situation. Unfortunately, not everything works out as well as we planned.

This card will highlight the pain endured by a difficult situation but just remember, you’ll survive it. In fact, it’ll probably make you more stronger and more wiser next time.

The Ten of Swords can indicate arguments, strife or bad choices. It may suggest a messy breakdown or breakup of a relationship or the wounds of public embarrassment. Relationships, jobs or deals may end suddenly.

You are feeling the pain of this loss and wondering if you’re ever going to get through this.

When the Ten of Swords appears in a Tarot reading, you may be the object of a deception or manipulation by another person. You feel as if you were stabbed in the back and suffer from the actions of someone else. The pain inflicted runs deep, not because what they did is hurtful, but because you know deep down that this is the end of your friendship as you know it.

Try not to take the victim position hoping people will save you from misery. You can’t change another person’s actions, but you can change your reaction.

The Ten of Swords is about letting go and acknowledging the present circumstances. You don’t fight change anymore but encourage it to happen even though it causes you initial pain and hurt. You recognize that there needs to be a transition to promote renewal, so you encourage it to happen rather than combat it.

The good news is that the Ten of Swords represents the final ordeal – from that point no further suffering can fall upon you. The hour before dawn is darkest, and you have to feel the full effect of what’s happened before you can move on and start over. It might not be the easiest thing you go through. But it won’t last forever either.

Have a look at what happened to you and what you can learn from the experience. The hurt and pain will disappear as you do, and you’ll soon see that it all had to happen so you can grow into your fullest potential.
