Tarot Cards - The Ten of Swords

Divinatory meaning
Upright - Ruin, desolation, disruption, although generally this refers to a group rather than an individual.  Sorrow, sudden misfortune, accidents, muggings or personal robbery.  There is some cause for optimism; as the lowest point in the cycle, from now on things can only get better the worst is over.

Ill Dignified or Reversed - Only an illusionary lifting of burdens or release from afflictions as suffering will continue.  Sometimes death and violent and extreme change.  Only temporary good fortune.
