10 of SWORDS
-10 of SWORDS-
A cat lies on the beach with ten spears in his body. The 10 of SWORDS, one of the darkest and most sorrowful cards in the Tarot, is so tragic that I could not draw his face…
Swords are the suits (groups) that represent “information, thoughts, and words”. If you have too much information or are too concerned about what someone else says, you may hurt yourself. In addition, “10” is a number that represents the limit or being beyond what you can do on your own.
I’m at my limit. It’s hard. I can’t express myself and I can’t move. This card represents such a meaning. However, when it is reversed, the card conveys hope: “The painful situation is over and the sun will shine”. It is a card that gives us courage.
