TEN OF SWORDS
The swords in the other cards of this suit merely surrounded the person; here they have actually pierced him. He lies in a desolate waste, a black sky above him.
Divinatory Meaning:
Though the Nine of Swords showed despair, the meaning here is even more serious. Ruin of plans and projects. Defeat in war. Disruption of home life. Tears will fall. Trouble will come in spite of riches and high position. Not a card of violent death. A suggestion to give charity freely to those in trouble.
Reversed:
Overthrow of evil forces. Some success and profit. Courage to rise again. In spiritual matters, looking to higher powers for help.
