Family, Friends & Relationships:
In general, when The Ten comes up in relation to a question as to whether you can believe what a person is telling you, or trust that a situation is stable, this is a pretty clear answer of ‘no.’ However, try to bear in mind that whenever a door closes, another door opens. You are being guided to a situation that is better for you. Trust yourself and trust in the universe.

It is over, and it is meant to be over and stay over. But you wont let it be done, which means you are also blocking what is waiting to come to you once you drop the dead weight of the Ten of Swords.
