Ten of Swords -

Much like Death of the Major Arcana, for those who draw the Ten of Swords, the shock is often one of the first things to be felt. No one wants to receive ten blades in the back. Unfortunately, the Ten of Swords is a portentous card that symbolizes something coming to an end. Of course, once you know what is looming, you may be able to avert the situation entirely; but oftentimes, you have to accept your fate. This may also come in the form of backstabbing from someone you trusted with your life. These “victim” scenarios are very much associated with the Ten of Swords. You feel powerless against external forces.

There is a positive note, though. When the suffering is over, you will experience a release so profound that a new you will awaken—stronger and more hopeful than before. Know that whatever darkness awaits you, your troubles are by no means permanent. The pain will end, and from there, you will rise. Further good news is that this is as bad as it will get. Nothing is waiting in the shadows or any new revelations that can further increase your stress. All of the cards are on the table.

As stated before, the Ten of Swords is a card that is about letting go of the circumstances surrounding you so you can pick yourself back up. Learn the lesson, then apply it to your success.
