10 swords inverted. Mary Greer. "The Complete Book of Reversed Tarot Cards". Open - closed card

The Ten of Swords tarot card depicts a man lying on the ground with his face covered in mud. His back is pierced with ten long, bloody swords. The red cape covers the lower part of the body, and his upper one is bare. The sky above a person is gloomy and dark, which carries the meaning of suffering, loss and bitterness.

However, despite this horrifying picture, there are positive aspects to this map. The sea, next to which the wounded body is located, is motionless and serene, and the sun's rays break through the mountains in the distance, foreshadowing the dissipation of darkness. Each new beginning comes from the end, and each defeat gives strength for a new victory. What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger.

  • inevitable end.

The Ten of Swords is most often a harbinger of unexpected failure or disaster, due to which a force beyond your control suppresses your inner state without warning or mercy. Sometimes you can change the course of this impending disaster, but more often than not, you have to accept the inevitable and accept the blow of fate. The card may indicate betrayal by a person whom you completely trusted and did not expect such a stab in the back. You are filled with incredible pain and shock from such an act.

As such, the Ten of Swords is often associated with a sense of "victim". You feel powerless as your life declines and comes to an abrupt end and you feel external psychological pressure and attacks. You crave pity from others with a little sigh, "Poor me!" You use this difficult time to portray yourself as a martyr, demonstrating to the whole world that your interests and desires were at stake, but it was you who suffered as a result.

The Ten of Swords also indicates a difficult, painful experience, heart loss, grief, or vice versa, rebirth.

However, the saving grace is that you have a new awareness and a positive sense of relief that the hardship and pain will soon end and become something new. The end will come, a new stage will come, the restoration and purification of the spirit. And despite the fact that the Ten of Cups at first glance seems negative, it gives hope and indicates that the troubled period must end.

The Ten of Swords calls for letting go and accepting the current situation. Such is the order of fate, fate. It is useless to act and change anything. This is the end, and you can't call it happy. Ten of Swords predicts failure, defeat, defeat (at work, in personal relationships, in finance and business). This may also affect health, which will be undermined in the light of current events. Everyone understands everything, but it doesn’t make it easier.

This is the Arcanum of physical and psychological torment, misfortune, loss, ruin, devastation. If there are any improvements on the horizon, they will be short-lived, plans will collapse without starting, or will not bring the expected result. An irreparable and hopeless outcome will undermine your resolve. If everything is fine with you, the Ten of Swords promises problems and difficulties, and if everything is bad, the troubles will end.

The Ten of Swords reflects completion, defeat, liquidation, exodus, conclusion. The end of a difficult period is expected, although such a final often causes difficult, painful mental states, this is not always the case: just a large number of swords speaks of the great possibilities of the Mind, which decided to "put an end" to something. This may include personal relationships, emotional attachments, but adverse situations and periods of life, addictions or protracted difficulties are also allowed.

Whatever it is, you're in the middle of a breakup. And only by the context of the surrounding cards, you can find out what this parting will entail - the pain of loss or calm.

The only positive news that this card reports is the end of a difficult and gloomy period. It's all behind us, it couldn't get any worse. However, now (modern interpretations) - misfortune, longing, sorrow, experiences, tears, troubles, torments, torments.

When this card appears after an unpleasant situation, you should think about what happened, why it happened and what experience you can learn. True wisdom comes not from without, but from within. The Ten of Swords is a sign that the pain you have endured has not gone in vain. Use your inner, positive strength to be able to draw wisdom from any defeat.

Reversed Position

Keywords

  • recovery;
  • revival;
  • fear of ruin;
  • inevitable end.

The Ten of Swords in the reverse position indicates a painful completion of something, after which rebirth and restoration will follow. The sword is a symbol of Reason, thoughts, plans and views, this card is very appropriate in the field of mental transformations. The card indicates that there will be a massive re-evaluation or complete elimination of your previous views on life, on yourself and on what is important, and perhaps this will affect plans for the future.

Such changes will bring suffering, inconvenience, mental trauma, but the reassessment of your entire life that has taken place will bring a lot of positive to it. It is important to understand: instead of dwelling on the painful ending, you should change your attitude to the situation, adapt to the circumstances, accept the inevitability and gain strength, patience, and courage, survive difficult life trials. And only then will you see a faint light and be able to take a better place in your life.

The interpretation of cards in an inverted form, as a rule, has opposite meanings to the general. If Arkan is negative, then its inverted position gives hope for improvements, positive changes. But the Ten of Swords does not lose its negative essence even in an inverted form, the meanings in their strength may slightly weaken, but the essence remains still bleak.

Arkan portends suffering and misfortune, and a faint hope for change, but a person must try very hard for this.

The Reversed Ten of Swords also indicates that you are resisting the inevitable ending because you are concerned about how painful it will be for you. However, what you are doing is delaying the inevitable and making it even worse because you keep trying to delay something that is destined to happen for your own transformation. For example, the relationship has already come to an end, but you are still drawn to your former lover because you can’t let go. This only increases the pain and delays the moment of completion. You must understand that in order to start something new, you need to complete the old.

The Ten of Swords reversed often indicates a fear of ruin, even if it hasn't happened yet. You always think of the worst case scenario. This only creates unnecessary anxiety for you, and it is important to make sure that the true state of things is true, because in reality everything is not as bad as it seems.

Love and personal relationships

direct position

In the context of love, if you are in a relationship, the Ten of Swords is not a positive omen, as it indicates breakups, divorce, separation, bitterness, or loss. If this card refers to a breakup, you probably already know that the relationship is in serious trouble. There may be treason, indifference, consumer or selfish goals in a relationship. Alternatively, the card may simply indicate that you are overly dramatic, drawing attention to yourself or playing the victim in front of a partner. This behavior can be the last straw in a relationship.

The person will face a great loss. The card predicts an imminent separation, which will cause severe stress and emptiness.

The soul will die forever. Heartache, loss and grief will be too strong, and may become a hindrance in later life. There will be fear of future relationships. In addition, a person in his pain strives for peace and loneliness, deliberately isolating himself from the outside world.

Regarding the continuation of relations, there is no longer any hope of reconciliation and reunion. Partners are in the grip of emotional shock, negative feelings, perhaps in the strongest delusion, but this is enough for the relationship to end.

inverted position

The Ten of Swords in an inverted position should not be taken as something terrible and terrible. Yes, regardless of the location of the card, it is constantly dominated by a solid negative, but in this position, the card portends a new stage, renewal, transformation, calmness and hope for the best. But for this you need to go through a difficult period filled with difficulties and problems.

This card is temporary, everything bad in your life is coming and going. This will be followed by the restoration of relations and the reunion of partners after a long separation. Or you will meet a real person who will become your protector from all evil and ill-wishers that have been poisoning your life for a long time. You may have to lose a lot, the loss will be very painful, but with it all your hardships and difficulties will go away. Such a loss will become a kind of atonement for future happiness.

A card in the reverse position slightly softens the state of your affairs. There is a hidden problem in the relationship that leads to separation, but there is little hope of changing anything.

If you are single, the Ten of Swords indicates the beginning of a recovery period after an unpleasant breakup, and overcoming the despair caused by the breakup of a relationship. You have become stronger, anger, hatred and bitterness have been ill. But there is a danger that you will give up, give up, and again fall into complete despair, not wanting to accept the inevitable.

Career

direct position

In the professional arena, the Ten of Swords is not a good omen. It indicates that you are in an impasse at work. Your time in your current position is coming to an end. Prepare for layoffs or layoffs. Management does not hide the fact that you are looking for a replacement.

The card suggests unsuccessful negotiations, projects, deals, signing contracts, loss of clients, loss of a job, severance of business ties. Everything is leading up to the end.

The card indicates that you may have overdone it on the work front and brought yourself to exhaustion. If you have your own business, Arkan promises collapse, failure, ruin.

Reversed Position

The Ten of Swords in this position suggests a lost battle, but losing does not mean the exact outcome. The map may emphasize that there are currently no results of your labors yet. There are external obstacles and difficult circumstances, but there is a chance that they will disappear soon. A person will endure difficulties, accept any conditions, and understand what his true calling is. He will be able to find for himself the type of employment that will suit him.

Perhaps you will meet an authoritative patron and new career opportunities will open up for you. If you have your own business and you are in a crisis, breathe a little easier: try to stay afloat for some more time, and things will go uphill again.

Health

direct position

Regarding health, this Arkan does not bode well. The card represents chronic fatigue, physical and moral exhaustion, collapse and nervous breakdowns. Inflammatory manifestations in the form of fever, fever, unconsciousness can be observed. The map suggests doing acupuncture, in matters of health, many sharp swords on the map are represented by needles.

The red fabric on the map implies an attitude towards gynecological problems and bleeding: miscarriages, abortions, difficult births, loss of innocence. In men, violations of the reproductive function, replenishment of the genital organs due to hypothermia are allowed.

The card warns of acquired immunodeficiency, due to the frequent use of strong antibiotics and other drugs, skin and mucous membrane lesions are possible.

Reversed Position

The Ten of Swords in the reverse position is encouraging for better health and recovery from serious illness. However, the card can represent near-death, inability to survive, and suicidal thoughts that overwhelm you, so you should carefully look at the surrounding cards for confirmation. If you are struggling, seek support! There are many people and organizations that would be happy to help you.

The Ten of Swords advises you to take some rest. Don't make unnecessary moves. Do not look for unnecessary things. Your life is already full of dramatic situations that are like a hurricane, and it is not known whether it will go into the field or touch your home. In the face of such unpredictability, protect yourself, hope for the best, and wait.

Sometimes an extreme turn of events serves as a pressure relief valve for all the unexpressed and unresolved energy that has built up. Trust this process, although it may seem rather drastic now, but once it's over, you can already assess the damage and begin to restore the destroyed and create a new one.

Strong combinations

With the Empress: in vitro fertilization.

With death: it's all over.

With the Devil: You cannot let go of a situation or a relationship that is over, attachment to a painful situation.

With the sun: you need to talk about the situation in order to understand it and gain clarity. There is always something bright in tragedy.

With 5 of Wands : The fight becomes tedious, ruthless, no change for the better even if you act.

With seven of swords: someone wants to destroy you.

In a tarot deck, each card has its own meaning and interpretation. Some symbols have multiple interpretations. The intuition of the questioner himself will help to choose the correct value. The meaning of 10 swords in the tarot must be sought based on the theme of the alignment and the position of the symbol in it. The interpretation of the suit is also important if small lasso fell out in divination.

Description of the suit of swords

All cards of the "deck of a small secret" in the tarot are divided into four suits. Each of them is responsible for a certain area in the life of an individual. All suits contain both positive and negative symbols. The suit of swords was no exception.

Swords are the most difficult suit in the tarot. Their responsibility extends far beyond material factors. Swords are the internal energy of a person. His thoughts, aspirations and desires. These are actions aimed at the surrounding world. After all, actions are the embodiment of human thoughts.

The suit is often called blades, sabers, spades or spades.

The suit of swords is not in vain depicted as a weapon. Every man needs his "sword". The enemy in the battle will be the character himself. He has to fight with his own desires, passions and plans.

The sword in the tarot represents the power of thought. This thought is still immaterial, therefore in the zodiac series it is identified with the element of Air. The responsibility of the trigon is contacts with the outside world, the ability to interact, get out of conflict, and also defend one's point of view.

In a playing deck, swords correspond to spades. Like swords, they are credited with will, intelligence and self-control. This is the third suit in the deck. She also has the largest number of "complex" cards, which are not easy for beginners to interpret.

10 tarot swords

The combination of the ten and the suit of swords gives this card a double meaning. The symbol represents the completion of a certain stage., but the suit paints it in negative colors. Tarologists call this card the Inevitable End. Its meaning is also read in the image itself.

The picture shows a dead man lying on the shore of a reservoir. Ten swords are stuck in his back. The handles are made in the form of crosses. If you look closely at the character himself, then the fingers of his right hand are folded in a ritual gesture, signifying the end of the action.

The atmosphere in the picture is dark and gloomy. The sky is black, but dawn breaks on the horizon. Night time here symbolizes the deepest sadness and tragedy.

At first glance, the card symbolizes an irreparable loss. The man died, and his death was violent. But the symbolism of the card points to some nuances. Dawn, igniting the horizon, reminds of the change from one stage to another. "Dawn is always followed by dawn."

The card symbolizes feelings when the positive aspects of the event are not visible behind the bitterness of experiences. A person has known failure and does not see an opportunity to fix everything. The map really points to some "dead" factors. But behind them always comes something new. The Ten Sabers card completes the number series of the suit, which further reinforces the meaning of the transition to a new stage.

The symbol captures the experiences of a person who suddenly lost everything. Whether it's a relationship or a career, his loss is too sad and great. Perhaps the cause of this event was aggression and other negative feelings, since the suit of swords often indicates them.

Value in the correct position

In the correct orientation, the Ten of Swords card represents the completion of a stage that happened out of control. This is a sudden collapse, loss, or other destructive event. In this case, the symbol does not indicate a pause or slowdown, but a complete completion. This is a fateful event that led a person to a dead end.

The main meanings of the map:

  • Feelings of despair, depression.
  • loss of ideals.
  • The unexpected end of a certain period in life.
  • Termination of action as a result of external influence.
  • Parting with something dear to the heart.
  • Change of type of activity.
  • Excessive haste warning.
  • Depression, stress.
  • Robbery victim.
  • "Worse than ever".
  • Severe illness.
  • A long road, perhaps by water.

Curiously, the Ten of Swords card is so strong that it is practically not weakened by other, even the most positive, arcana. They may somewhat level the meaning of the symbol, but its destructive interpretation still remains.

The lasso of the Chariot next to the Ten indicates a person's self-confidence. She reminds that all is not lost as long as the querent believes in a happy ending. The Two of Wands indicates some chance to change a seemingly insurmountable situation. A sharp act can help in this, which can be characterized by the phrase “make or break”. Ten cups in a layout speak of luck that accompanies a person, despite frequent failures.

Interpretation in the wrong orientation

In the wrong orientation, the card represents the same completion of a certain stage. However, 10 swords turned upside down take a slightly different angle. Its meaning is positive, since the card speaks of victory over the situation. She describes the final battle, in which both the army and the forces were lost. But the battle is won, even if the price of winning is high.

The main meanings of the inverted card:

The victory over circumstances predicted by the Ten of Swords will not be especially bright. The situation is a dead end, although its outcome is not too fatal.

Neighboring arcana in the layout affect the Ten, so you need to read the combination of cards together. So, the Two of Coins shows a person's disbelief in his own success. The Empress in the layout speaks of the need to sacrifice something valuable for the sake of victory. The Hierophant advises to rest after work. You need to take a short timeout to restore lost strength.

Job and money breakdown

The main meaning of the Ten of Swords in a career scenario is the collapse of an undertaking. This is a failure in the matter of interest to the questioner.

Sometimes the symbol indicates sabotage. The card may also mean an unwillingness to take responsibility. The result will be a sudden change of scenery. There may be dismissal or loss of position. Strengthens this value of the lasso Emperor.

The card often symbolizes an excessive load of cases that a person simply cannot complete. In this case, we are talking about exhaustion, physical fatigue and spiritual devastation. Tarot advises not to save crumbling plans. You need to succumb to fate and let go of what cannot be saved. The card teaches to "leave on time."

In the layout for work, the Ten has many interpretations. Therefore, it is especially important to pay attention to the arcana adjacent to it. The magician demonstrates a complete failure in the chosen field of activity. The moon is a crisis situation that has a negative impact on a career.

In the wrong position, the Ten of Swords has a slightly different meaning. This is a single battle in which the questioner lost. However, this defeat does not determine the outcome of the entire war.

Dawn on the horizon of the map reminds you that today's loss is only the foundation for tomorrow's victory. The question of a career is the only area where the Ten Swords card has such a positive interpretation. She predicts excellent prospects in activity. The appearance of an influential patron is not excluded.

The world next to the inverted Ten speaks of the imminent retreat of problems. In the near future, the questioner will find his place under the sun.

Divination for relationships and love

In the layout of personal relationships, the card speaks of a certain event that will destroy the existing love relationship. This event will block all positive emotions, plunging partners into anxious thoughts and disappointment.

For a lonely person, such a card can mean deep sadness, disappointment in the opposite sex. Regardless of the marital status of the questioner, the card indicates the impossibility of correcting the situation. To overcome the crisis, we will have to live by the new rules. The old mindset no longer works.

Neighboring arcana will help interpret the 10 tarot swords. The meaning in the relationship of the combination with the Priestess speaks of a certain secret of the past, which will soon become well known. The Hanged Man indicates the betrayal of a partner.

In an inverted orientation, the symbol prophesies the same feelings. 10 swords remind us that all trials are sent to us from above, so they must be steadfastly endured. No matter how sad the querent is, later this grief is transformed into harmony and happiness.

The card speaks of the transience of time and calls to let go of the past. Sometimes she predicts a new partner, with whom all feelings will be only positive. But often the symbol also indicates the possibility of restoring the old relationship if the chosen ones can change their attitude towards this union.

The Death card in the layout demonstrates the imminent deliverance from problems and the beginning of a new chapter. Arkan Moderation says that troubles leave the questioner.

Health analysis

The card indicates the exhaustion of the body. The health of the querent is undermined by chronic diseases. The symbol represents immobility, so the card is often read as a harbinger of injury to the musculoskeletal system. It may turn out that the problems will be caused by inflammatory processes. In matters of health, the suit of swords often portends surgical intervention.

In the description of the psycho-emotional sphere, Ten speaks of a depressive mood, apathy. A person is so immersed in his own experiences that life seems unbearable to him. In severe cases, the card indicates a desire to commit suicide.

Combination with Major Arcana

In any layout, not only the position of the Ten of Swords is important, but also the cards adjacent in the layout. So, some symbols change the meaning of this lasso.

The combination of Tens of swords with major arcana:

  • Jester. Unexpected events, operation, murder.
  • Mag. Termination of professional activity, change of occupation.
  • High Priestess. The querent will suffer from slander or blackmail.
  • Empress. Damage to something valuable. Cesarean section.
  • Emperor. Loss of an existing position, leaving, dismissal.
  • Hierophant. Feeling empty and meaningless, tired.
  • Lovers. The breakdown of a love union.
  • Chariot. Terrible accident, death, accident on the road.
  • Force. Harm caused by drugs.
  • Hermit. An attempt to protect oneself with the aim of rebirth, a change of priorities.
  • Wheel of Fortune. The final battle in which the questioner is waiting for a fiasco.
  • Justice. Punishment for committed deeds.
  • Hanged. Bedridden disease, inability to move.
  • Death. Natural ending or rebirth.
  • Moderation. Gradual release from problems.
  • Devil. Deepening into one's own vices, loss of oneself as a person.
  • Tower. Ailments, separation, injury with a sharp object.
  • Star. Faith in recovery from failure.
  • Moon. Uncertainty, prolonged illness, being in a coma.
  • The sun. The crisis will recede, but it must be overcome.
  • Court. The end of the karmic period.
  • World. Finding the meaning of life.

Tarot cards are magic that cannot be explained with the help of logic. Intuition will become an assistant in reading symbols, since with its help a person can contact the world of the invisible.

The answer of the deck should not be taken categorically. Cards only warn and help find a way out of the situation, but never indicate the uncompromising nature of the situation. The fate of a person is only in his hands.

Direct position

The Ten of Swords represents an uncontrolled completion of something, an unexpected collapse, disintegration, collapse, as well as energies that act destructively. This Arcana describes situations in which it is not about difficulties and not about forced stops, but about a complete impasse and hopelessness. Finita la comedia is the leitmotif and the main idea of ​​such a card. Moreover, it can be quite rightly argued that all this is the influence of rock. And even at its best (for example, in combination with some of the Arcana of the deck), it only slightly weakens its influence or delays it in time. By the way, these are her combinations with the Chariot (here we are talking about the great power of self-confidence, which is able to overcome a lot), with the Two of Wands (the ability to take risks, act unexpectedly and break through the wall), with the Nine of Cups (an extraordinary luck and luck, despite any particular problems).

Reversed position

In the inverted position, the Ten of Swords indicates a very difficult, problematic period, which, however, ends with an unconditionally black streak in life. Such a card, as well as this Arcana in a direct position, speaks of a lack of success or positive results, but at the same time it loses its fatal dead-end meaning. That is, in this case we are talking about the fact that, although at a high price, the goal will be achieved and the desired will be obtained.

The clarifications that other Arcana of the alignment bring to the main interpretation of the inverted Ten of Swords may be interesting. So, the Two of Coins will tell you that a person does not believe in success, the Empress - that for a successful outcome you will have to sacrifice something valuable, the Hierophant - that after resolving all problems, a person may need a rehabilitation period to finally return to the normal rhythm of life.

Love and relationships

Direct position

For the sphere of personal relationships, the Ten of Swords symbolizes the rupture of the union, the behavior of partners (or one of them), which leads to the destruction of that valuable - feelings, memories, etc. - that is in their relationship. That is, the Ten of Swords are circumstances associated with mental pain, suffering, a sense of hopelessness. And yet - a big disappointment in the opposite sex.

In combination with other cards of the deck, the Ten of Swords allows you to find out additional points of the situation that is considered in the layout. For example, the Priestess here will tell you that a person’s troubles will be associated with the unpleasant secrets of the past that have surfaced. And the Hanged Man clearly indicates betrayal.

Reversed position

Inverted, this Arcana calls not to see the situation exclusively in a black light. Despite the fact that here we are also talking about the negative as the dominant of this Arcana, it also contains the beginning of renewal, peace and success. True, all this can come only after a problematic period, which volens nolens needs to go through.

Such an Arcana emphasizes precisely the momentary nature of the current, not particularly positive state of affairs, that is, its temporary nature. Many tarologists associate with him such processes as the restoration of relations after a protracted conflict, as the acquisition of such a partner who will become a real shield from unfriendly people or bad circumstances that spoiled life for a long period. Paired with Death, the Ten of Swords indicates a loss, with which, however, many of the current problems will also go away, so that the loss will become a kind of atonement for future joys. And if in the layout next to such a card Moderation fell out, it means that the problems are already disappearing at the moment.

Career

Direct position

In career spreads, the Ten of Swords is interpreted as sabotage, as a refusal to fulfill the obligations assumed, as the collapse of business ventures. In a certain context, this card can mean dismissal, and completely unforeseen (especially with the Emperor).

Other meanings of the Arcana are exhaustion due to constant overwork, attempts to embrace the immensity. In addition to these interpretations, the Ten of Swords symbolizes a situation where nothing can be corrected, but you can still have time to “slam the door” loudly.

Together with the Magician, such a card speaks of the fiasco of this professional activity, with the Moon - of a crisis that can significantly spoil the situation with a career (or business).

Reversed position

The inverted Ten of Swords for career spreads symbolizes a lost battle, which, however, does not yet decide the outcome of the entire war. That is, such a map should be interpreted as a lack of results at the moment, as difficulties or restrictions, which, however, will be removed after some time. If, along with such a Ten, the World fell out, then this indicates that, having gone through difficulties, the fortuneteller will find his true calling and find for himself exactly the activity that suits him best.

Another interpretation of the inverted Ten of Swords in the layouts for the professional sphere is completely optimistic. According to him, a person receives an influential patron or (depending on the essence of the matter) opening career prospects, but all this is somewhat delayed in time. And in combination with the Sun, such an Arcana means a way out of the crisis.

You need to learn to distinguish between real and imaginary values, because sometimes you hold on tightly to something that, in essence, means little to you. Throw away sentimentality and the habit of living with caution. Burning bridges behind you is sometimes both useful and pleasant.

Description of the Tarot card Ten of Swords

On the Ten of Swords Tarot card, as a rule, a defeated person is depicted - ten swords pierced the body along the spine. They pour white light around the figure, dispelling the darkness. The sky is black, but beyond the river it is already dawning: a new day is approaching. This symbolizes the transition of the spirit into matter, which destroys everything perishable in order for the eternal to appear.
