Ten of Swords
Element: Air
Among all the Swords cards, the Ten of Swords signifies the greatest harm. It reflects peak negativity and despair—close to the breaking point. When this card appears, remember the duality of tarot: every card has both light and shadow. As the saying goes, “When things reach an extreme, they reverse.” Much like the sine curve, after the lowest trough comes the rise. This card symbolizes your darkest hour—nothing that follows will be worse, only better.
