Ten of Swords - Tarot

                                          Sun and Moon Tarot by Vanessa Decort

Numerical value -10 – filling the cycle, union, integrity. It has the meaning of card no. 21 – world – freedom, wholeness; equivalent card – 10 – the wheel of fortune – ending of one cycle and beginning of a new.

     In the meaning of swards -10 represents end of cycle in life, a painful event which is over, and in the same time indication for new hope, beginning. There is nothing more to struggle. You have reached the bottom point. There is defeat, betrayal, loneliness, crisis, and loss. You lost your hope on a situation, something ends. It can be related to important aspect of life – carrier, relationships, someone valuable to you. This is time of death. In combination of Death card it can mean real loss of someone, or going through period of very hard transition.

     To remember the dark aspect of this card is to be very grounded in this time. Things can happen suddenly and can be shocking for you. Despite that loss and despair, you need to find balance and remember -the light is always there after the darkness. Always expect new beginning and rejuvenation after strong pain and crisis.

Spiritual question: what lessons I can learn from my painful experience and past? What qualities I need to work on and become stronger? I need to let go of the old and give way to the new. 

Remember that Swords bring the energy of release, letting go and cutting off everything from the past that is not in alihnment with who you truely are. In that way, 10 of Swords will bring more relief and release to a situation and end of hardship that you were in. The Archangel ruling Swords is Michael, and Archangel assiciated with the numerology of 10 - is Zadkiel.
