Ten of Swords

A figure face-down with ten swords in the back under a red dawn; rock bottom — but dawn is coming.

Upright meaning

A figure lies face-down on a shore, ten swords in their back, red sky pierced by a yellow dawn beyond. The Ten of Swords is the rock-bottom card — the worst already happened. Its hidden message is the dawn: nothing further can be done to you here, and the only way is up.

Reversed meaning

reversed · shadow

Recovery beginning; refusing to get back up; or fear of a fall not yet taken.
