Understanding the 10 of Swords

This path you were on ends here when the 10 of Swords shows up. And if it looks a bit like rock bottom you are not far off the truth. You let your ego-mind get the better of you, fell for the illusion/temptation and got yourself all tied into knots. The good news is, it doesn’t have to continue to be this way.

For every problem, there is a solution and often the solution is simply to turn your back on the past. Why spend your precious life force energy on that which has been and is no more other than inside your mind? And if your worries are about the future, what you worry about isn’t real and doesn’t exist. You have now which means you have all the limitless potential of eternity. You have your connection to Source and the help of all the Angels–All you have to do is ask!

“The only victories which leave no regret are those which are gained over ignorance.”
~ Napoléon Bonaparte

So take ten deep, calming and centring breaths and feel those mind swords detach from your etheric, emotional and mental bodies now.

Ask Archangel Camael to grant you courage if your past actions have left you in a sticky situation. It’s what you do now that matters! Trust divine guidance each step of the way and keep putting one foot in front of the other. The only way is up!

Ask Archangel Uriel for clarity of thought and Archangel Michael to keep you safe from negativity (your own and that of others).

Affirmation: “I release myself from the past and future. I relax deeply right now, safe in the arms of the angels.”

The 10 of Swords in Love and Relationships

Ouch! You don’t want to see this card in a reading about love and romance. Just looking at it hurts. This is a card of unavoidable but (for the time being) necessary suffering.

Remember, it’s always darkest before dawn. Things are really at an all-time low now so there is no point in denying it. This card typically shows up around the time of a break-up in a love tarot reading, indicating the pain and mental anguish that comes from separating. The 10 of Swords differs from the 3 of Swords in that your mind is all over the place, whereas in the 3 of Swords, the pain in your heart is overwhelming.

Beware of self-fulfilling prophecies

If you’re not at the break-up stage yet, paranoia about your partner/love interest could be setting in. However, your suspicions could be founded in reality. You are finding out things you really hoped would never happen or your deepest fears are coming true before your eyes. With the 10 of Swords, it is possible that some of the things now materialising in your love life are self-fulfilling prophecies woven from a negative, suspicious and jealous mindset.

The good news with this card is that there is no way but up. If it doesn’t mean the end of a relationship (which it often does, to be fair), it does mean the end of something that had to die. Hopefully, it’s the death of a dysfunctional communication model. If you come out on the other side you have a very real chance of making a go of it.

This energy is different to the 10 of Wands because it indicates that you have really analysed the problem at hand… Unfortunately, your analysis has rendered you powerless to effect change. You can’t solve a problem with the same mind that created it.

Single and looking

In a single person’s reading, the 10 of Swords could indicate despair about ever finding the one. You could be looking to compensate for a lack of self-love through your relationships (coming across as needy) or you could simply be really unlucky in love. Either way, things are actually about to change for the better and the sooner you focus on loving yourself/self-validating, the sooner love will come to you.

Intimacy

Sexually, this card indicates pain as a path to pleasure. But please be careful when playing with sharp objects or melted candle wax. Also, beware of divorcing your heart from involvement in sensual games. You could be on a path to perdition that extinguishes the flame of love in your heart before the first rays of the sun make it over the horizon. Strive to understand your motives for exploring this path.

*Love yourself, love yourself, love yourself.*

The light of a new dawn

A reversal or the 10 of Swords appearing with cards of healing and love (Temperance and 2 of Cups, for instance) indicates that you can now see those first rays and perhaps even feel them warming your skin. Take a deep breath. It’s finally over. Your relationship is safe. Or you survived the divorce. Your faith in love has been restored.
