Do your best to rise above your pain.

Ten of Swords

The tarot card of the day is the Ten of Swords.

The Ten of Swords shows a man lying face down, apparently dead, with ten swords piercing his back. A red cloak covers his lower body, indicating that he has died with honor.

The person lying down, defeated and bleeding, might also represent a feeling of helplessness and being trapped by emotional or mental anguish since Swords represent strife and the mind. The image shows a person pinned down by his thoughts.

There is hope despite this situation; the sun rises above the horizon, bringing a new sense of hope and opportunity. The calm sea in the background suggests that even in turmoil, there is still a sense of peace and tranquility.

Let Go of the Past

The Ten of Swords represents a painful yet inevitable conclusion. For example, a romantic relationship may end, your job may get cut, or a contract may be breached. It is like this ending has come out of the blue and rocked your life.

You didn't expect it, but now it is here, cutting to the heart and leaving you feeling as though the world has fallen apart. You may be mourning the pain of this shocking conclusion and wondering if you will ever love again or find work or trust.

You may feel like you've been stabbed in the back. Someone close to you has betrayed you, spread lies about you, or even worse, has taken advantage of you.

The pain inflicted runs deeper than just physical wounds; it also goes to your core. You feel as if your heart has been broken, and nothing is left of the relationship you once had with this other person. You're grieving the loss of the connection you once knew with this person.

The Ten of Swords suggests that you need to let go of your past and accept what happened. Of course, nothing can change what has already occurred, but you can choose whether you react to it or not.

If you react negatively, then you may suffer further consequences. However, letting go of your feelings and emotions will make you feel lighter and happier. This represents letting go of the past and allowing yourself to move on.

Stay Strong

The Ten of Swords shows you that the worst is over. You have to survive the ordeal and stay ready to face whatever comes next. The darkness is behind you, and the light is ahead. You may feel like you've lost everything, but you haven't. Instead, you have learned something valuable about yourself and are stronger because of it.

Don't let the pain claim your peace. Instead, think about what happened and why it had to happen. Then, try to understand why the situation unfolded the way it did. This will help you gain perspective and move past the trauma to claim your happiness.

Once you have done this, you will realize that all of this was necessary to bring you to the point where you are today. As a result, you are ready to take on the future with renewed strength and confidence.

This means that you need to accept that something is changing in your life, whether it is a job, relationship, health issue, etc. You cannot stop this change, but you can choose how you react to it.

If you resist change, this could indicate that you are holding onto something that needs to go away, and you're making it harder for yourself. So instead, let it go and move forward.

You may be going through a difficult moment in your life right now. Instead of believing that your end is near, this is the time to persevere. You have to bring out the last ounce of courage and face the challenges head-on. Claim your successes by overcoming whatever it is you are facing. Running away will only make things worse.
