Something ends for good; the painful clarity of hitting bottom.
Ten of Swords upright
Something ends for good; the painful clarity of hitting bottom. Swords belong to air: thought, words and conflict. A Swords card points at a decision or a story you are telling yourself.
Ten of Swords reversed
Recovery begins; getting back up after the ending.
A reversed card is not automatically bad news. It can mean the upright meaning is weaker, turned inward, or flipped; the cards around it tell you which.
In love and relationships
A relationship ending for good; a break that can't be undone.
Work and money
A job ending or a chapter closing; the clarity that comes with hitting bottom.
Advice
This is the bottom, and there's something reassuring in that: there's no further down to go. Keep your first step from here a small one.
Is Ten of Swords yes or no?
