Alright, let’s talk about this here 10 of Swords tarot card. Don’t go getting all fancy on me, it ain’t nothin’ complicated, just plain talk, ya hear?
Now, this card, the Ten of Swords, it’s like this: somethin’s gotta end. And lemme tell ya, it ain’t gonna be pretty. It’s like when the rooster gets caught by the fox, all them feathers flyin’ and then… silence. That’s the 10 of Swords. It means somethin’s finished, done, kaput.
- Maybe it’s a job. You know, the kind where you work your fingers to the bone and then they just up and tell ya, “Pack your bags, granny.”
- Or maybe it’s a fella. Yeah, them fellas, they can break your heart faster than you can say “biscuits and gravy.” This card, it says that relationship? It’s over. No more sweet talk, no more nothin’. Just a big ol’ empty space where he used to be.
- It could even be somethin’ else, like a deal gone sour. You know, when you shake hands with someone and they promise you the moon and stars, but then they run off with your chickens. That’s the 10 of Swords too. A promise broken, a trust betrayed.
This card, it’s like hittin’ rock bottom. You feel like you’ve been stabbed in the back, ten times over. Like you’re lyin’ on the ground, lookin’ up at the sky, and all you see is rain clouds. It’s a hurtin’ card, that’s for sure. It’s like when you plant your crops and then a big storm comes and washes it all away. All that hard work, gone in a blink of an eye.
But listen here, it ain’t all bad. See, sometimes things gotta end so somethin’ new can begin. It’s like when you prune a rose bush. You gotta cut off the dead branches so it can grow new flowers. This 10 of Swords, it’s tellin’ ya to cut off the dead weight in your life. Let go of all that pain and baggage. It’s heavy, ain’t it? Draggin’ you down like a sack of potatoes. You gotta let it go.
And that’s the hard part, ain’t it? Lettin’ go. We hold on so tight to things, even when they’re hurtin’ us. We think, “Maybe I can fix it. Maybe I can make it better.” But sometimes, there ain’t nothin’ you can do. It’s like tryin’ to hold onto the wind. You just can’t.
The 10 of Swords, it’s sayin’, “Stop tryin’ to control everythin’.” You can’t control the weather, you can’t control what other people do, and you sure as heck can’t control the past. The only thing you can control is yourself and how you react to things.
So, what do you do when you see this card? Well, first thing, you gotta let yourself feel the pain. Don’t try to push it down, don’t try to ignore it. It’s like gettin’ a splinter. You gotta pull it out, even if it hurts. Cry if you gotta cry, scream if you gotta scream. Let it all out.
Then, you gotta start pickin’ up the pieces. It’s gonna be hard, I ain’t gonna lie. It’s like tryin’ to rebuild your house after a tornado. But you gotta do it. One step at a time. Start small. Maybe it’s just gettin’ out of bed in the mornin’. Maybe it’s makin’ yourself a cup of coffee. Little by little, you’ll start to feel better.
And most important, you gotta remember this: it ain’t the end of the world. It feels like it, I know. But it ain’t. The sun will come up tomorrow, the birds will still sing, and life will go on. And you will too. You’re stronger than you think, ya hear?
Now, some folks might say this card is bad luck. But I don’t see it that way. I think it’s a card of closure. It’s a chance to start fresh. To wipe the slate clean and begin again. It’s like when the winter ends and the spring comes. Everything is new and full of life. And that’s what the 10 of Swords can be for you too, if you let it.
So, if you pull this card, don’t despair. It’s a painful ending, yes, but it’s also a new beginning. It’s a time to let go of the past and embrace the future. It’s a time to heal, a time to grow, and a time to become stronger. Just like that old oak tree in the pasture, you might get a little beat up by the storms, but you’ll still be standin’. And you’ll be even stronger for it.
Remember, honey, everythin’ happens for a reason. Even the bad stuff. It’s all part of the journey. And this 10 of Swords, it’s just one part of that journey. So, chin up, buttercup. You got this.
