Ten of Swords Tarot, the sign symbolizes failure, it will happen suddenly or a huge misfortune will occur. You shouldn’t resist, you need to understand that this is true, the main thing is to remain calm and withstand a heavy blow. Perhaps this indicates the end of a friendship or the end of a relationship, or in specific cases the end of a business, everything is real. Let's look at the meanings of the cards:
- Direct position of the card. This symbolizes the completion of something, the end of something that can no longer be returned. In any case, this lasso means personal defeat. Perhaps someone will strike from behind. But do not despair, this card can also mean the discovery of new opportunities. And yet, it shows the completion of a childhood dream and its realization.
- Reversed card position. This card in an inverted position speaks of the same changes as the upright one. But it indicates that the whole situation is getting worse, you will have a lot of thoughts ahead of you and you won’t be able to make decisions for a long time. Sometimes this lasso indicates your uncertainty, but you can achieve success.
These values must be interpreted correctly.
Ten of Swords – Love and Relationships
Ten of swords in combination, the card means a break with people, partners will destroy relationships. This means leaving the past or the moment will become a turning point. Here the 10 of Swords Tarot indicates the breakup and end of a relationship. This discrepancy will be final for the couple.
Both partners will be disappointed in the relationship between the sexes and will feel hopeless even in future relationships with their partner. When a similar 10 Tarot appears in a reading about feelings, it means a lack of sympathy.
If the card is upside down, it indicates the restoration of mutual relations. Even if a divorce has already occurred, these relationships can improve and life can be painted in bright colors.
10 of Swords – work and career
The 10 Tarot layout reveals many conflict situations that consume a lot of energy. The alignment also indicates how the pressure is on your team and why you cannot cope with the tasks assigned to you.
It may indicate your immediate dismissal or the termination of successful projects. The layout will tell you why business is not working out.
Meaning in relationships
Ten Tarot layout, considered the darkest. It requires correct interpretation; its understanding is connected with neighboring arcana. In certain cases, the presence of favorable karis removes dependence on negative ones. But in fact, this card foreshadows separation or great loss.
She says that the person will feel the deepest disappointment and enter a depressive state. Part of a person’s soul will perish irrevocably and a feeling of uncertainty will suffocate him before he understands what is happening. The person will begin to be afraid of new relationships and try to find solitude.
There is practically no chance of reconciliation with your partner. But if the card turns out to be upside down, then this changes the matter. Some hidden conflict is implied, but the relationship needs to be returned to the right direction.
Spiritual growth and self-development. This card speaks about spiritual growth:
- A person must reconsider ideals.
- It requires believing impulsiveness.
- The questioner must believe in himself and take action.
If the position of the cards is reversed, this means that the person has begun to develop himself. He now understands his past mistakes and has drawn conclusions. But determination is not enough for him.
Personality portrait
Fortune telling the goal of obtaining personality characteristics has two sides. The first is today's decision, and the second shows a portrait of a person. A layout of 10 Tarot cards convinces a person that he has emptiness in his soul and enormous depression.
Outwardly, this manifests itself in different situations. Those people who like to be alone will begin to move towards this even more, but some are capable of showing aggression. If the questioner wanted to get a description, then 10 of swords describes a person with an extremely complex character.
Element of air in 10 Tarot
The element of air in Tarot cards is located in the minor arcana, it dominates the suit of swords. People of this element have certain abilities:
- They are gifted with intelligence.
- They have enormous willpower.
The element of air gave birth to the elements of fire, as well as water, it is actually conciliatory. The air instantly changes and abstracts and these people are very good at solving problems.
The suit of swords is fighting. Often Air people have an internal conflict, a struggle of passions within themselves - Mental struggle. But they also conflict with the outside World. They constantly argue, provoke, bully, brag, love to prove they are right, seek the truth, often touch a nerve, and are capable of creating trouble for other people and themselves.
When a person of the Air Element appears, one becomes alarmed.
They are very sociable people; contacts, communication, and negotiations are important to them. They can be confrontational and swear, but due to the fact that they have highly developed mental abilities, they always calculate everything, therefore they are excellent diplomats.
This means that they do not argue and make scandals everywhere, but where it is not costly, where it will not harm them. If they estimate that having now had a fight with their boss and sent him on a trip around the world in all 4 directions, by the end of the working day they will find a dismissal order on the table, then they become correct and self-possessed:
- Logic is very developed. Women's logic and the logic of blondes nervously stand aside if the Element of Air appears on the stage of Life.
- Good memory. “I’m not vindictive, I just remember evil well.”
Signs have a terrible ability - a tendency to remain aloof, alienate. They are not sociable and can be closed, indifferent, distant, cold, insensitive and unemotional people.
Insensitive, because it is not common for people of the sword suit to feel emotions. They do not like to talk about feelings, romance, and often avoid close relationships. Their mind, as well as intellect, prevails over all human feelings.
Tense, confrontational, calculating, insightful, articulate, very decisive. They resolve conflicts harshly, they will not think about “What will he/she feel if I say this?”, even such a thought will not occur.
Death card
This card shows equality. Rare people pay attention to the boat, but this card indicates the restoration of normal life and the death of the old everything.
Past relationships will not return, and everything in this card points to a crisis. And only God knows how it will end, but your relationship will definitely change, you must understand this.
Astrological meanings
The main meanings of the Tarot arcana are:
- If the card is in an upright position, then this means the beginning of a new life path and great success. Most likely, your cherished wish will come true.
- The wheel of fortune in relationships is in an upright position. This means that life together will improve and normal relationships will begin.
- Arcana Tarot in the upright position for work, this means promoting you and improving yourself.
- Arcana Tarot in the upright position, then you will get rid of diseases and if your attitude is positive, then you will be cured of everything.
In any case, you need to compare all the factors and decide for yourself what to do and what to do. You need to understand the pros and cons, and then make a decision about using Tarot cards.
A person who is aware will come to the right decision. You don’t need to consider yourself stupid and trust just anyone. It is necessary to learn to see imaginary values and understand true ones; people often hold on to what is of little importance. There is no need to live with an eye to the past; sometimes it is useful to burn old bridges.

Description of the Tarot card Ten of Swords
The Ten of Swords Tarot card typically depicts a defeated person, with ten swords piercing the body along the spine. They pour white light around the figure, dispelling the darkness. The sky is black, but across the river it is already dawn: a new day is approaching. This symbolizes the transition of spirit into matter, which destroys everything perishable in order for the eternal to appear.
General meaning and interpretation of the Ten of Swords Tarot card in fortune telling and readings
Direct card position
The Ten of Swords in an upright position represents completion, the end of something, a time of hopeless loss, the collapse of hopes, an artificial and sometimes violent end, that is, one that comes at the wrong time. In any case, this Arcanum means personal defeat, failure, collapse. Most likely, the person has already reached the very bottom, reached the end of the road, found himself in an intellectual dead end. Perhaps someone stabbed him in the back when he didn't expect it. However, at the same time, this card is open to change and new opportunities. A person stops fighting, accepts the inevitable and entrusts himself to fate or circumstances. Previous ideas and thought patterns no longer work and are rendered useless. This may seem like a complete disaster, but in fact the direct Ten of Swords also means liberation, relief and the end of negative processes.
Reversed card position
In the reversed position, the Ten of Swords says the same thing as the upright card, but aggravates the situation with a long period of painful thoughts and uncertainty. Sometimes Arkan speaks of the lack of results and the impossibility of further progress towards the goal. Moreover, an obstacle can consist not only in an obstacle, but also in success.

Less often - small changes, for example, moving to another job within the same company or sudden cancellation of a previous assignment. Extremely negative course and development of business, significant losses, bankruptcy, collapse, force majeure.
Reversed card position
As in other areas, in the area of career and work, the inverted Ten of Swords does not lose its negative meaning and symbolizes unpleasant and depressing events, loss of control over the situation, and irretrievably lost business.

In the sphere of personal relationships, the direct Ten of Swords turns into its most dangerous, crisis side.

Short description
The idea of drawing a map, in my opinion, does not raise any doubts. Brutal murder. There is a version that Pamela Smith depicted on this map the scene of the murder of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, and used the mise-en-scène from Tennyson’s play “Thomas Becket.” Marcus Katz and Tali Goodwin write about this in their book.
According to legend, a storm arose after the assassination of the archbishop, and this legend is reflected in the play. We can see the beginning of the storm on the map. True, many interpreters believe that this is not the beginning of the storm, but its end. And a light stripe on the map indicates dawn, rebirth and other positive things.
Sometimes, for example, in the “78 Doors” deck, the card is generally interpreted as an acupuncture session. However, my experience shows that if ten swords are driven into a person’s back, and one of them is certainly in the head, this is unlikely to contribute to healing and recovery.
If the researchers’ guesses are correct, then the 10 Swords and the Hierophant are united by a common character. This is indicated by the blessing gesture of the right hand, the same for the Hierophant and the 10 Swords.
It is also believed that the brown shirt of the 10 of Swords is nothing more than a hair shirt, which, according to the ecclesiastical fashion of the time, was worn by Thomas Becket.
The hair shirt was woven from camel hair or sheep's wool and worn on a naked body, and the tough wool constantly pricked, reminding the monk of patience and humility.

Basic meaning
The meaning and interpretation of the Tarot card 10 (Ten) of Swords according to Rider Waite is unexpected. What I cannot understand is how Waite turned his pen to write: “But there is no aspect of violent death here.”
On the other hand, when you argue with the king and tell him that he is categorically wrong, dying from a sword in the head is absolutely natural.
But overall, Waite gives a sad range of meanings for this card. Pain, misfortune, tears, sadness, devastation. However, Waite views the meaning of the Tarot card Ten of Swords inverted as extremely positive. Advantage, profit, success, benefit.
Modern meanings of the card indicate collapse, catastrophe, destruction and other not very pleasant processes and events. However, the map, for all its tragedy, does not indicate the scale of the collapse and disaster.

Meaning in relationships
Let's look at the Ten of Swords in matters of love and relationships.
Open - hole card
Open card. What happens comes from outside and regardless of your desires, hopes and confidence that you are in control of what is happening.
Relationship intensity
Huge peak load. A lightning strike that a lightning rod cannot handle. Not only the fuse burns out, but also all household appliances.
Map as a scenario for relationships: love, family, relatives, work
First of all, the card indicates an unpleasant moment in a relationship. Quarrel, scandal, breakup, fight.
In a working relationship, this could be a sudden dismissal or bankruptcy of the company.
Literary characters will not just fight with this card, but will literally kill each other. In reality, such tragic events occur much less often than in novels.
The scenario is highly dependent on the time interval considered. The card may indicate a final breakup or a disagreement for a week. Or maybe this is a serious scandal, after which the relationship changes significantly.
- in combination with the card: Losing a lawsuit
- in combination with the card: Not enough strength to cope with the problem
- in combination with card: Fatal destructive passion
Psychological condition
The card speaks, firstly, about the event, and secondly, about the emotional perception of this event. And whatever the real event, subjectively a person perceives it as a large-scale catastrophe, a complete and final collapse of all hopes.
When a person, for example, gets his little toe caught in the corner of a closet, the world is filled to the brim with monstrous pain and for several minutes the person is plunged into a local apocalypse.
The map says nothing about the scale of the disaster. A severe bruise, a falling concrete slab turning a person into a flat pancake, or a tsunami washing away half a continent into the ocean - all this is the same card. In fortune telling, it often turns out to be problematic to compare the real degree of destruction and the subjective experience of the disaster. Some tarot readers tend to downplay the scale of real events, while others exaggerate the nightmare and horror as much as possible.
It is important that the Ten of Swords reflects the immediate reaction to an event. The same person at another time, under other conditions, might not have reacted to what happened at all.
In combination with the suit of Wands
- in combination with the card: Shattered Idyll
- in combination with the card: Nightmare Past
- in combination with the card: Destructive clash with power
Importance in health matters
Trauma, accident, fracture, head injury. “War is a traumatic epidemic” - Pirogov.
Shock therapy. Defibrillator. Break a malformed leg. In psychology - thanatotherapy.
The condition is very bad. Wild pain. Death. Acute, instantaneous destruction. Blood loss, open wound.
Either final death, or a very acute and severe crisis from which it will be difficult and difficult for a person to emerge.
- in combination with the card: Your illusions will destroy you
- in combination with the card: Feast in Time of Plague
- in combination with the card: Friendship leading to death
Business and finance, in professional activities
Stability, controllability, controllability
The meaning of the Tarot Ten of Swords in matters of work is that the situation is stable - there’s nowhere else to go. This is the point. You have achieved it. The process has stopped, we have the result. The reason is an external event, the control is also external: it was not you who left work, it was you who “left”.
Default. Caesar's body on the steps of the Forum after being killed by Brutus. The map doesn't directly say what exactly collapsed or what the scale of the destruction was, but the plans won't be implemented, that's for sure. But we can, without panicking, assess the size of disasters and find out how destructive they are for business, and the course of life in general. This is some kind of control, but after the consequences of fatal events you need to survive collapse and death, and only then hope for revival.
Ways to Increase Income (Key to Increasing Income)
The card itself indicates the destruction of the source of income. Panic on the New York stock exchange. The whole country is sliding into depression, all savings are devalued. If anyone manages to profit from this, then there are only a few of them.
Default, denomination, “Black Tuesdays”.
General state of finances and trends of changes
The general condition is terrible. Beethoven, Symphony No. 5.
10 of Swords - first hour in prison. What prospects might there be? At best - 8 swords: 2 months in captivity, already adapted.
Positive and negative impact of the card on income
This is an external and completely uncontrollable event. It is not related to your mistakes, does not depend on whether you are good or bad, and no matter how hard you try, all your plans will not come true. You may or may not receive signals in advance; You can be mentally prepared, or - bang - shot in the back.
Anyway, nothing depends on you. To survive, to get out of this situation for active people is 1 chance in a thousand, for passive people it is 1 chance in a million. That's all positive, the difference is not fundamental. Throwing a burning coal from hand to hand, a children's game.
- in combination with the card: Total destruction of health
- in combination with the card: You can run away from trouble
- in combination with the card: No matter how hard it is - grit your teeth and endure
Do nothing. Think about how to minimize losses.
Card of the day Caution
Your actions are doomed to failure.
- in combination with the card: Lose all money and other resources.
- in combination with the card: Destructive assistance.
- in combination with the card: Paradise swept away by a hurricane.
Questions to ask when drawing a card
- The destruction of what in your life are you most afraid of?
- The destruction of what in your life would make you happy?
- Who are your enemies who are ready to stick a knife in your back?
- For you, is defeat the ruin of your whole life or new opportunities?
In any case, this card means personal defeat, failure, catharsis. Possible loss of health, condition, social position or honor. Most likely, you have already reached the very bottom, reached the end of the road, found yourself in an intellectual dead end. Perhaps someone stabbed you in the back when you didn't expect it. However, at the same time, this card is open to change and new opportunities. You stop fighting, accept the inevitable and entrust yourself to God, fate or circumstances. Previous ideas and thought patterns no longer work and are rendered useless. This may seem like a complete disaster, but in fact the card also means liberation, relief and the end of processes - like savasana, the corpse pose that completes a set of yogic exercises. Struggle and straining your will will get you nowhere.
Perhaps you have back problems or are seeing an acupuncturist. You may be extremely tired, sick, or stuck in a rut. You carefully selected the facts, but they turned out to be empty and useless. A new day is dawning for you - if only you are ready to leave the old rubbish behind and move forward.
Traditional meanings: misfortunes, tears. Devastation, ruin. Complaints, grief, disappointment. Sadness, pain, grief. Fatigue. Ending. Failure. Changes in social and economic status. Unforeseen misfortunes. Shaked faith. Losing a friend. Enemies.
Reversed Ten of Swords
The Ten of Swords reversed speaks of recovery and rebirth. The darkness recedes, and the swords seem to fall out of the man’s back. The blue sky appears above the golden strip of the horizon. You've changed your perspective, and everything looks different now, but you can't fool your feelings - you still feel as if you've avoided near death or serious trouble. Liberation and exciting change are coming. Stress relief and a feeling of great relief are likely - your inner sky will be cleared of storm clouds as soon as you give up the habit of constantly reasoning. The worst has already happened and is left behind. If you are recovering from an illness, remember that relapses are still possible. Recurring health problems are also likely, especially with the spine and immune system, as well as chronic fatigue syndrome and skin tuberculosis (lupus).You may still feel doubt and suffer from low self-esteem, which generally makes you question new achievements. You may be very worried about the future.
One lady who received this card said that she felt as if she was lying on a bed of needles and nails as punishment for some offense: “You laid the bed yourself, now lie down yourself.” Another querent interpreted this card to mean that it was time to rise from the bed of nails, symbolizing self-pity. And while dramatic change is likely, reacting to past pain can get in the way of true progress.
Now you are most concerned about the need to patch up security holes and correct existing weaknesses in the project. In some cases, it may be possible to deny that the problem is truly serious. You may refuse to let go.
When projecting this card onto other people, they will seem to you like weak losers who can easily be sacrificed. You may even believe that they got what they deserved because “only the strong survive.”
From a shamanic point of view, this card can indicate the separation of the astral body from the physical - in dreams, astral travel or near-death experiences. In terms of initiation, this may be a test associated with ritual murder, dismemberment or destruction of a material form for subsequent rebirth. You have to enter this new state, despite the fact that you know nothing about it.
Traditional Reversed Meanings: transitory advantage, favor, benefit. Mercy, kindness. Strength, authority, power, influence. Temporary achievements. Transient success. Profit. Some improvements. Unexpected financial success or promotion. Recovery.
The Ten of Swords Tarot card represents the end of the struggle. Even the illustration of Arcana itself indicates this. Thus, traditional Tarot cards depict a person defeated in battle. Ten swords pierced his body. In the background, dawn is a symbol of a new day.
Ten of Swords - a strict and serious card
This illustration is fully consistent with the meaning of the Arcana itself. But it's not that simple. The Ten of Swords is known for its severity and seriousness. And the end of the struggle for a person is a failure. If other cards indicate events that can be changed, then 10 swords is not one of them.
General meaning of the card in layouts
Most cartologists consider the 10 of Swords to be the scariest card. And what is important, danger to a person is possible, both with its general meaning and in combination with other Arcana. It will not be possible to prevent certain predictions.
Complete failure in your personal life, at work and in relationships with loved ones - all this is “evil fate”. Any actions will not bring any benefit, but can only bring the inevitable closer. 10 of Swords Tarot meaning is determined by the general interpretation of all cards in the layout. Arcanum is always the end of luck, financial well-being, love and one’s own perseverance. A person is like a victim of his own life. You can't escape fate.
It is very difficult to compare the Ten of Swords with other cards in terms of its significance. Only “Death” can compete with the sinister Arcana. Like the ten swords of the Tarot, “Death” promises death. Only the nature of such failures is different. There is only one exception. If a person is already going through a difficult period in life and the cards show this, then 10 of swords can become a point in this “black streak”. The beginning of a bright future is a rare card meaning, but sometimes very significant and necessary for people who use Tarot to solve their problems.
Physical and psychological significance
Tragedy is not the only possible outcome when falling into the 10 of Swords layout. The “finish line” refers not only to events that occur in the World around a person. It is important to correctly interpret the entire situation.
Psychological and emotional experiences are also common to people. We are all like sponges, absorbing everything we see, hear and touch. And the slightest violation of this “ideal” can cause various indignations. So, it is possible:
- stress;
- psychological exhaustion;
- severe depression;
- mental illness.
Stress is a condition that affects all people
Any emotions and emotional experiences must be supported by something. So, provocateurs are: loss of loved ones, separation from loved ones, serious illnesses, etc.
For a person who is destined to go through the “inevitable,” it is important to keep himself “in control.” Often, severe painful consequences end tragically. It is even possible to attempt suicide. The important thing is that nothing lasts forever - everything will definitely end. Everyone has to overcome difficulties in life. The better people tolerate them, the faster everything will return to normal.
The meaning of the card is often associated with Bible stories. Just like Christ, everyone bears his own cross.
And any road has thorny paths that are difficult. A person gets tired, kills himself, torments. He is driven only by the hope for a better existence. But everything was unsuccessful. Death is the only outcome.
But you should not accept “death”, in the most serious sense of the word. Death is the end before the beginning of a new life. Even the fallen warrior depicted on the 10 of Swords card indicates this. The deep night is killed by the first rays of the sun. New day - new life.
What does the upside down position of the card mean?
An inverted Ten of Swords card indicates reverse events. That is, the meaning of such an Arcanum indicates that “there will be no end” or it will not happen in the near future. Sometimes, in layouts with such a card there is some futility. But such a concept is far from the worst fact among all possible ones. There is always time to think.
If such a meaning is associated with a career, then this is often a common routine. There can be no talk of any progress in work or achievement of positive results. What is important and interesting. Peculiar obstacles can be expressed not by the presence of problems in life, but by excessive success or positive abilities of the person himself.
Astrological influence on Tarot decks has always had a great influence on solving everyday issues. Thus, the Ten of Swords belongs to the sign of Cancer. It is characterized by:
- love relationship;
- attachment;
- home improvement;
- New acquaintances.
This zodiac sign comes under the influence of Jupiter. Thus, the Ten of Swords has:
- good luck;
- success;
- victory.
It is “victory” that makes it possible to understand the meaning of the inverted Ten of Swords card. Victory is the end of the Struggle, calm and fatigue. The winners, having achieved their goal, reap the fruits of the past - rest on their laurels. That is, this is “inaction” and “life without progress.”
The Ten of Swords falling at a time when a person is lonely is a good sign
Some tarot readers have high hopes for the Ten of Swords. The card is especially beneficial in moments of loneliness, illness, poor financial situation, etc. But it is worth “soberly” assessing the situation. Any life changes, even if they are positive, can be fleeting. And if a person is sick, and he clings to any chance of his existence, one should not expect global improvement from Arkan.
Recovery, healing, remissions - all this is very important, but you cannot fool fate. A person lives as best he can. Even if things get better, you shouldn’t “give up,” because “inaction” is the main concept of the inverted Ten of Swords. At such moments, fate can play a cruel joke.
Combination of the Ten of Swords with other Arcana
The Tarot card 10 of Swords is the Arcana that few people would like to see in the layout in front of them. The main interpretation can often be distorted due to the influence of neighboring cards on the reading of the entire prediction. Some Arcana can even reduce the “importance” of the Ten of Swords itself.
Concentration and the ability to correctly formulate the meaning of the entire layout is the main task of any cartologist. Thus, the concepts of one or another prediction can provide the most accurate information about the “coming end.” The Ten of Swords in combination with other cards can give the following meanings:
- The Empress is a tough fight.
- Two of Wands - self-confidence and personal strength. Reduces the power of the Ten of Swords.
- Hanged Man - tragedy, sorrow. Sometimes this combination indicates suicide.
- Death is the direct concept of this word. Sometimes it indicates a person’s own death, and sometimes the death of loved ones.
- The Chariot is self-affirmation.
- Six of Wands – pride, leading to success.
- Nine of Cups - fear is not justified, everything will be fine.
- Four of Pentacles – disappointment from a gift.
The Ten of Swords, which fell together with the Four of Pentacles, is a disappointment from the gift
Also, the combination of the Arcana with the Eight of Swords is more psychological in nature for the person himself. The meaning of such a coincidence in the scenario is powerlessness, severe psychological stress and falling under the influence of others. Such predictions are typical of workaholics who work for the benefit of other people.This combination of Arcana makes it possible to correct the course of one’s affairs, which cannot be said about other interpretation options. Also, falling into the layout of the Two of Cups is considered correctable. Meaning – dissatisfaction with surrounding affairs. There is no talk of any serious consequences. This is how the direct meaning of the Ten of Swords weakens.
Love and Ten of Swords
Issues of love relationships worried people of all ages. Everyone wants to love and be loved. Loneliness has never attracted anyone. Tarot reading is one of the most effective methods for solving “Amorous affairs”. So, when the Ten of Swords appears, the meaning of the card is associated with “giving up something valuable.” Any person uses his own mind as a tool for breaking things.
This comparison has a hidden meaning. What if nothing is broken? Repairing something that is whole and not broken is an attempt to change something that already works well. So, the mind is a “shovel” that digs a grave for relationships. And if a person is already lonely, his behavior can repel others. Until such people begin to look at the World in a new way, it is unlikely that anything will work out.
The breakup of a love relationship does not always bring big emotional and psychological problems. Sometimes people tend to harm each other. Such relationships are meaningless. And the Ten of Swords advises to quickly finish processes that no one needs. Only after the end of a relationship does something new begin. Thus begins a period of liberation, a kind of healing. Such a variation in interpretation will only have a positive effect on the life of the fortuneteller.
Although the 10 Swords card is one of the most terrible Arcana, one should understand the correct formation of interpretation based on a particular case. Not every newcomer to working with Tarot can understand that the “end” is not a fiasco in the war, but just a lost battle, one of many. So in the professional field, this card may foreshadow a demotion or dismissal.
But this does not mean that a person will not be able to find a new job. Especially if “Peace” appears in the reading. This combination is the junction of a white and black stripe. Having parted with something old, a person will quickly find a replacement for it. It’s the same at work. If you lose your position or main source of income, do not despair; a solution to the problem will come soon.
When using Tarot to solve your problems, it is important to be able to correctly divide your own values into primary and secondary. Many may simply turn out to be something imaginary.
Living constantly looking back at the boundaries of the past is not an option. The constant desire for the best, the unknown and the useful makes it possible to correct at least something in your existence. People should at least sometimes “cover their tracks” and only then will the Ten of Swords not seem such a terrible card.
