Tarology is an ancient teaching, a special system of symbols, which, by comparing life situations with archetypal images depicted on maps, allows you to look beyond the edge of the visible world and find answers hidden in the subconscious.
Short description
In the classic Tarot decks on the Ten of Swords card, the following is depicted: a desert area, a man lying on the ground, many swords pierced in his body, which leaves no hope for a successful outcome. His faithful dog barks, calling for help, but no one else is around.
In addition to the aforementioned name of the lasso, the following are also found: "10 Blades", "10 Sabers" and "10 Daggers".
Interpretation of the card in the forward position
"10 Swords" personifies failure, defeat, life collapse, misfortune and disease. To some extent, it is consonant with the thirteenth major lasso. The Tarot Card “Death”, like a dozen, can also portend the demise, loss and collapse of hopes. However, there is one significant difference between them. Unlike the thirteenth lasso, which portends a logical conclusion and the opportunity to open the way to a new one, a dozen Swords carries a shade of hopelessness, doom, and an unexpected calamity. This is one of the darkest lasso among other negative, as it symbolizes hopelessness, tragedy and the inevitable end. Man can’t change anything. The appearance of this card indicates the predetermination of fatal events, the inevitable disaster and an irretrievable loss.
The combination with favorable lasso in the alignment somewhat softens the negative meaning of dozens of Blades. But most often this portends only a slight delay. Most likely, this will not help to avoid failure.
In some cases, the aforementioned card may still have a favorable value. This applies to those cases when it characterizes the end of a dark strip. If before this a person had to endure a string of unpleasant events, then their ending can be foreshadowed by such cards as "Death", "Tower" and "Ten of Swords". The meaning of tarot is very multifaceted. Interpreting a particular card, one should not only read descriptions and interpretations, but also try to feel the essence of the lasso on an intuitive level. Archetypal images captured in the Tarot deck help penetrate the hidden corners of the subconscious and find answers.
Map interpretation upside down
The value of flipped cards, as a rule, is the opposite of the main one. In the interpretation of negative arcana, it can take on a slightly different meaning. As for the dozens of Swords, its value in an inverted position is somewhat weaker, but in general the essence remains the same. Arkan speaks of the hardships and tribulations that fell upon a person, but there is still hope to change something. You will have to make a lot of effort.
Love and relationships
There are several cards that represent the separation and the final breakup. One of the darkest is considered a dozen Swords. The meaning of the tarot is usually interpreted in conjunction with neighboring lasso. Sometimes the presence of favorable cards in the alignment levels the strength of the negative. But in this case, everything is much more complicated. A man will suffer a huge loss. The card portends a heavy breakup. She says that after this, a person will experience a strong sense of emptiness and depression. Some part of the soul dies forever. The feeling of disappointment is so strong that it can become a serious obstacle in life. There is a fear of a new relationship. Moreover, a person seeks solitude and tries to isolate himself from the outside world.
As for the further relations between the partners, in this case there are practically no chances for reconciliation. Both suffered an emotional shock, which may further impede the creation of new relationships. The Death Tarot card carries a similar meaning. But, unlike dozens of Swords, it symbolizes the end of one life stage in order to gain new opportunities.
An inverted position softens the situation a bit. It may mean hidden conflict and the likelihood of parting. However, at this stage of the relationship, there is still a chance to fix something.
Professional activity
In questions about the work and career of a dozen Swords symbolizes a complete defeat in the professional field. Perhaps it serves as a harbinger of resignation, an unexpected dismissal or financial problems, up to bankruptcy.
It can also mean burnout and health problems caused by many stressful situations and excessive stress. A person is physically and mentally exhausted, which is why he is not able to start work in the near future. The insidiousness of the situation lies in the fact that all the hardships in this case were unpredictable. The questioner did not have the opportunity to prepare mentally and consider possible solutions to problems.
It is also important to consider what the reverse position of the Arcana of the Ten of Swords portends. The meaning of the Tarot in an inverted position often implies the opposite of interpreting a direct position. Regarding the aforementioned card, she says that in the future a person will be able to overcome all difficulties. But perhaps he will have to start from scratch.
Spiritual growth and self-development
In matters of self-improvement, the card suggests that previous beliefs will not lead to success. For further spiritual growth, a person will need not only to revise his ideals, but also to think about further prospects. Both internal impulses of the person himself and external circumstances that will force him to change can serve as an impulse. If no attempts are made at this stage of life, over time this can lead to complete degradation.
The inverted position of the card describes a person who has already begun the path of self-improvement, but has not yet decided on further goals. Man realized his own mistakes and revised beliefs. But at the moment he lacks the determination to come up with a plan and take action.
Consciousness
At the level of consciousness, the map represents the destruction of the familiar picture of the world, the collapse of hopes and the abolition of former beliefs. However, do not take this as a tragic event. In some cases, the lasso symbolizes the deliverance from the shackles of the usual worldview, the liberation from the bonds of the old personality, the need to reconsider one’s own views, ideals and values. Sometimes this is an important step towards development. Getting rid of imaginary prejudices and destructive ideas will help to gain a new understanding of the world.
Portrait of personality
Fortune-telling, the purpose of which is to obtain a personality profile, has two sides. One is the current mood and psycho-emotional state of a person. The second shows a portrait of a person.
In the layouts of the emotional state and state of mind of a person, the “10 Blades” card speaks of emotional emptiness, distressing feelings and depression. Outwardly, this can manifest itself in different ways. People prone to solitude will seek to further isolate themselves from others, as this allows you to protect yourself from possible shocks. Others, on the contrary, may begin to show aggression.
If the purpose of the alignment was to obtain a personal characteristic, then a dozen Swords describes a person with a rather complex character. Outwardly, he is rude, sharp and impulsive. To others, he seems unemotional, prudent and selfish, since he does not let anyone into his inner world. Often, he acts only in accordance with his own judgments, without taking into account the opinions of others. Radical actions help him demonstrate confidence and independence.
In fact, all of the above negative qualities are just a way to protect yourself from the outside world and hide your own weaknesses. This is the mask under which the vulnerable, vulnerable and receptive personality is hiding. A similar method of protection was developed in connection with past experiences, losses and disappointments. Subsequently, it became an integral character trait.
The inverted position of the card speaks of a person who managed to overcome difficulties and at the same time not lose himself. At this stage of life, it is still difficult for him to recall past experiences, but he is on the path to success.
Health status
If fortune-telling is about physical health, then the “10 Swords” card speaks of weakness, exhaustion of the body, and in some cases an acute inflammatory process. Perhaps a terrible disease will overtake a person. The appearance of the card can serve as a harbinger of surgery, problems with the spine, motor apparatus, up to complete immobility.
In the matter of the psychoemotional state, lasso means a melancholy mood, depression, apathy, a complete lack of goals and indifference to the world around. In especially severe cases, when it seems to a person that there is nowhere worse, this condition may end in a nervous breakdown and suicide.
An inverted card portends recovery. However, this is only the beginning, and the rehabilitation process can take a long period of time.
Fortune telling
Fatal hopelessness, predetermined fate and the inability to change anything - here is a short list of the main interpretations, which includes a dozen Swords. The meaning of the Tarot extends to all spheres of life. The above lasso can predict any troubles and hardships. Regardless of what the question was about, whether it was breaking up with loved ones, a terrible disease, a complete collapse in the professional field, bankruptcy or a deep emotional shock, the card portends an unfavorable outcome. The man was in a hopeless situation. At this stage, it is unlikely to be able to do anything. The only way out is to find the strength to survive this.
Map of the day
One of the easiest ways to find out what the coming day predicts is to focus on the issue and draw one lasso from the deck. This layout is called the "Map of the Day" and allows you to get a general idea of the upcoming.
Tarot Card "Ten of Swords" portends an unpleasant day. A person feels exhausted, exhausted, and completely broken. But do not despair, because tomorrow everything can change.
Map of the year
This year will be very difficult. The questioner is expected by difficulties and all kinds of obstacles on the way. Disappointments and feelings of fatigue can befall.
The lasso in an inverted position portends an exit from a predicament and the end of a strip of adversity.
Tip
If the questioner needed advice, then a dozen Swords indicates the need to be decisive and get rid of everything that interferes with the development path. All past fears, false beliefs and insults hinder the movement forward.
