Ten of Swords is the last numeric card in the Swords suit. As number 10, it signifies an end and a beginning. But there could be more here. Read on.
Ten of Swords Meaning - General
With Ten of Swords, there is closing of a cycle and beginning of a new one. But you will notice that the card doesn’t evoke a very positive sentiment.
A person is lying on the ground with swords pierced into his back. This could be indicative of back-stabbing, bitching, or back-biting by someone. You might be facing betrayal from someone you know.
Ten of Swords can mean being in a situation of having reached absolute rock bottom in life. The pain is so severe that it feels difficult to cope. This is the final nail in the coffin.
One could be feeling chronic exhaustion and may even be facing a nervous breakdown. But the good thing is that there is only one way to move from here – Up.
Do you see the yellow streaks on the horizon? This is the darkest before dawn, and the sun is about to rise. So as a positive sign, this is a card that speaks of a new phase with renewed optimism and hope. The pain is over and there will be healing that will come your way.
Let’s take this one step further. Why would someone pierce 10 swords into a person when a single sword can do the job? Are we in a situation where someone is acting like a martyr?
Sometimes we get into a situation where we start prioritizing others over our own selves and our own happiness. We deliberately let others get ahead of us or make sacrifices thinking it is our duty to do so. Does this martyrdom serve us? That is a question we need to ask ourselves. Remember, with this attitude, fun goes out of life, and we start feeling constricted in our own narrow universe. We keep taking on more on ourselves, until we reach a breaking point.
Also, Ten of Swords in tarot could indicate someone playing the victim card. Is it you or someone else? Yes, there are 10 swords struck into you. You can choose to brood over it, feel self-pity and keep wondering ‘why me?’ But that is not going to serve you anymore. One needs to pull up one’s socks and be ready for the new cycle that is beginning.
