@sacred_psychiatry: The Ten of Swords shows a figure lying face down on the ground with ten swords stuck in his back. In the Golden Dawn system that shaped the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, the Ten of Swords belongs to the last ten degrees of Gemini, the sun moving through the sign of the mind. The suit of swords belongs to air, the element of thought. Ten signifies completion. It's the final card of the suit. The energy has gone as far as it can go, and the next cycle will start over with the ace. This card is not describing something ongoing, but rather something that is finished. Look at the background of the card. The sky above is black, but along the horizon there is a band of gold light. That is dawn. The water is calm. Whatever happened is over. And a new day is coming up while he lies there. How many swords does it actually take to kill someone? One, maybe two, certainly not ten. The Ten of Swords often shows up when the mind has taken a painful event and is ruminating on it, magnifying the suffering. The mind running wild and unable to stop circling is shadow Gemini. The card may be asking whether the situation is truly as final as it feels, or whether your thoughts have added another eight or nine swords for good measure. Are you making a mountain out of a molehill? So when you draw this card, consider that something may have ended completely, that your mind may be creating more suffering than the situation warrants, and that the light is already coming up over the horizon.

I saw it in my reading yesterday and I said to myself, this indicates a near ending of a difficult cycle. I have for sure been tested the last two weeks.

This card can also be an indicator of a kundalini experience and each sword represents the healing power of each chakra along the spine.

My Midhaven is 28° Gemini. I can relate to this, I wonder how much of this is perceived of me by society?

I very much enjoy your content and so I wanted to share. Maybe sometimes it is in fact ten swords. I’m a long time domestic abuse survivor who has south node, Mars and Saturn all in late degree Gemini second house. It’s an exhausting journey and the card depicts it well. But my Venus in Pisces 11 house at 11 degrees 💜 helps. If that’s a scary card also please skip it 🤣 but do continue sharing.

I thought nine signifies completion and 10 signifies creation! No, I’m not correcting you. I’m just curious if you can elaborate on this.
