Romance, Love Or Relationships:

In relation to love questions, this is sadly not a good omen. Something about the love situation you are in is not quite right. Ask yourself a lot of questions, accept reality, don’t close your eyes to the truth. You cannot force someone to love you or to behave respectfully. If you have recently met someone new (and are looking for love,) keep looking. The contenders you’ve met so far are not who they seem to be.

The Ten of Swords does carry an unpleasant connotation, but it is also not necessarily the end of the world. When it appears, however, it is a clear signal to be careful about where you put your trust.

The difference between these two cards, 21 minus 15, is 6, the number of the trump card of Love.

Complete Book of Tarot: When reversed, the Ten of Swords suggests that something is preventing you from letting go of negative thoughts. You may be following bad advice or engaging in catastrophic thinking. Perhaps you are clinging to a difficult relationship or a bad situation that has only brought trouble into your life. You feel pinned down, but your worst imaginings do not match the reality of your circumstances. If you have been hurt or betrayed, you can either swim in the cesspool of anger and resentment, or let go of rancor and embrace forgiveness so you can move forward. Sometimes hitting bottom is a blessing in disguise, as it can force you finally to deal with your problems.

Complete Book of Tarot: As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. The images that appear on modern tarot cards are evocative of archetypal human conundrums, complex feeling states, and common life situations. Because the tarot is so effective at stimulating our intuition, it is a wonderful tool for brainstorming, shifting perspective, generating novel ideas, and developing creative solutions. If you are interested in using the tarot as a tool to enhance creativity, the following three books are highly recommended:

I belong to a weekly group to practice exchanging languages online. On one occasion the leader of the group left a message that she could not attend because her husband had suddenly taken ill and she needed to accompany him to the hospital. Concerned about her husband’s illness, I drew a single card from the deck: the Ten of Swords.
