A little more about Ten of Swords...
The Ten of Swords symbolizes the end of a cycle, being a card that suggests a relatively difficult time. In the card, we see a man with 10 swords embedded in his body. All of them are on his back, symbolizing deception or betrayal. The dark sky shows that there is no escape from this situation and there is a general feeling of pain, loss or hopelessness.
A bitter end is looming and whatever you lose is likely to have no return. But, if you look closely, the sea in the background is calm and some rays of sun begin to appear in the sky, suggesting that hope is not lost, the sun will eventually rise and any suffering is temporary. Every new beginning emerges from an end, and with every defeat, the seeds of a future victory are planted.
