Ten of Swords Tarot Card Meaning
Endings, rock bottom, and a coming dawn
By Marie Mystic
Ten of Swords Upright Meaning
A figure lies face down with ten swords in the back, while dawn breaks on the horizon. Upright, the Ten of Swords stands for a painful ending, rock bottom and the end of a difficult chapter. It looks dramatic, yet the sunrise says the worst is over. Let what is finished be finished, and allow yourself to rise slowly.
Ten of Swords Reversed Meaning
Reversed, the Ten of Swords can suggest recovery, dragging out an ending or slowly getting back on your feet. You may be ready to stop reliving the pain. Accept what has ended, and build from here a step at a time.
