Alright, let’s talk about this Ten of Swords card, you know, the one with all them swords stickin’ in a fella’s back. Looks mighty painful, don’t it? But it ain’t always about stabbin’ and hurtin’, though it sure can feel that way sometimes.
What’s this card meanin’ when you’re thinkin’ ’bout what someone’s up to? Well, it’s kinda like this. If you’re askin’ about someone and what they got in their mind, this card poppin’ up ain’t always sunshine and roses. It could mean they’re lookin’ to end somethin’. Like, for good. Finished. Done. Kaput. Maybe it’s a job, maybe it’s a friendship, maybe even… Lord have mercy… a marriage.
- It’s like when you pull up a weed, roots and all. Ain’t no growin’ back from that.
- Or like when you finish eatin’ a pie. Nothin’ left but crumbs and a happy belly, or maybe a tummy ache if it was too much.
Now, don’t go jumpin’ to conclusions just yet. It ain’t always bad. Sometimes, endin’ somethin’ is the best thing you can do. Like, if you’re stuck in a bad spot, this card could mean someone’s lookin’ to break free. They’re tired of bein’ stuck in the mud, you see. They wanna move on, find somethin’ better, somethin’ that don’t make ’em feel like they’re carryin’ a sack of rocks up a hill.
If you’re thinkin’ about an old flame, you know, that fella or gal that broke your heart or you broke theirs, well, this card might mean they’re lookin’ for some closure. They wanna tie up the loose ends, say their piece, and finally move on. It ain’t always about gettin’ back together, mind you. Sometimes it’s just about puttin’ the past to bed so you can sleep peaceful at night.
But here’s the thing, sometimes this card shows up when someone’s feelin’ like a victim. They’re playin’ the pity card, you know? Like, “Oh, woe is me, look at all the bad things happenin’ to me!” They might be exaggeratin’ things, makin’ a mountain outta a molehill, just to get some attention. Watch out for them folks, they’ll drain you dry if you let ’em.
This card can also mean someone’s just plain exhausted. They’re at the end of their rope. Tired, worn out, feelin’ like they can’t take another step. They might be lookin’ to quit somethin’, take a break, or just crawl into bed and sleep for a week. And you know what? Sometimes that’s exactly what a body needs. Rest and peace is good for the soul.
And then there’s the times when this card means someone’s hittin’ a dead end. They’re stuck. Can’t go forward, can’t go back. It’s like bein’ trapped in a room with no doors. But even then, there’s always a way out, even if you gotta break a window to get there. This here card just means that you can’t keep going the way you are going, something got to give way.
So, if you see this Ten of Swords when you’re askin’ about someone’s intentions, take a deep breath and think about what’s goin’ on. It ain’t always easy, but the cards are there to guide you, not scare you. Look at the whole picture, not just the swords. And remember, even when things look their darkest, there’s always a chance for a new dawn. It might be painful at first, like pullin’ a tooth, but after it’s over you can start healin’. And that’s the truth, whether you like it or not. Just like plantin’ seeds after you clear the field, always something new comes after the end.
Sometimes you just got to let something die so something new can grow. Like that old rose bush in my yard, had to chop it down so the new sprouts could come up. Hard work, but worth it in the end. Same with life, I reckon.
