As we crawl our way through this unending and miserable Pandemic, we can begin to see a light at the end of the tunnel. My oldest and youngest children are getting their Booster vaccinations today, which I'm very excited about. My friends have all seemingly avoided the big C this winter, which was very hard to do, and despite the news media saying "we will all get Omicron, the question is when?" I'm doing okay hiding out in my little cave and avoiding other humans. I have enough happy pills to keep me smiling instead of worrying.
We will get through this, and the getting through this is The Reversed Ten of Swords. It's recovery or finding one's way out of disaster. On it's most negative side, it is regret and an inability to move on, but it still implies that the worst is behind us now. I'm going to go pop some vitamin C and watch Chef. 
Upright, this Ten is pain, destruction, defeat, and a terrible end. There is nothing positive about this card. Even reversed, it can often represent clinging to disaster and not being able to move on.
However, there may also be some positives to the reversed interpretation. You could be rising above your difficulties, through the worst of a disaster, or your life could slowly be improving after a devastating event. This is one Tarot card where the reversed interpretation might be better than the upright one. Questions answered by reversed Ten of Swords: Who? A survivor What? An escape from disaster Where?

No positivity here today, sorry all. I'm only glad this card came up today--Nov 2, 2020--rather than tomorrow, election day. Egad, how depressing that would have been.  There is nothing to cheer about when the Ten arrives. Upright, it is pain, destruction, defeat and a terrible end. Even reversed, it can often represent clinging to disaster and not being able to move on. Skilled tarot interpreters are good at finding the card's positive messages, such as "there is nowhere to go but up" or "the future is bright," but in a practical and grounded sense, this card is pretty much the worst. Questions answered by Ten of Swords: Who? A dead person What? A catastrophe Where? The floor, the ground When? The middle of June; Ten days; The end Why? The situation is as bad as it could possibly be Yes or No?

Ten of Swords combinations With Death: Complete failure. With Nine of Wands: Have bravery in your defeat, we learn from our mistakes. With Page of Cups: (10 before Page) A terrible loss leads to a happy new surprise, like a baby after a miscarriage, or a great job after a layoff. (10 after Page) A happy surprise comes with problems. With Four of Swords: Make sure you've taken proper time to recuperate after a loss. With Knight of Pentacles: Hard work pulls you out of this defeating moment.
So there you go - today you can dig a grave, demo a room just because, eat some boring pasta, and watch Macbeth. Enjoy? |
