Upright Meaning
The Ten of Swords tarot card marks an absolute and devastating ending — yet look closely, and the sky on the horizon is beginning to lighten. This is rock bottom, and rock bottom is actually solid ground. What is completely over is making room for something new to rise. You cannot fall lower than this.
Reversed Meaning
Reversed, the Ten of Swords suggests slowly recovering from a painful ending, resisting an inevitable conclusion, or narrowly escaping a serious crisis.
