Ten of Swords

Brief Description

The Ten of Swords signals a painful nadir characterized by extreme duress, martyrdom, and self-pity. It points to being stuck in a victim mentality and reaching the lowest point of a cycle. In reversal, it indicates release, that the worst is over, and positive signs of recovery. Reversed, it can herald a return to strength and feeling on top of the world as circumstances improve.
