The 10 of Swords in the context of romantic feelings

BryanDeen

Hello!

I'm curious about whether I'm interpreting the 10 of Swords correctly in this situation. The question revolves around what X feels for Y. My initial impression is that X might be afraid of getting hurt. To confirm, I drew a clarifier and received the Page of Cups, reinforcing the idea that fear is a significant factor. I'm not entirely certain if I'm on the right path here. Using the Victorian Romantic deck, the image isn't too negative. I'm almost inclined to say that X feels they can endure challenges and hardships with Y, maybe even go through hell and back together.

I may not be acquainted with your particular deck, but I recognize that this card can be unsettling in the RWS and Thoth traditions.

For me, this card often signifies, "You're overthinking this. You've discussed it thoroughly and spoken enough. The time for words has passed." It suggests shifting towards a less intellectual approach. The suit of Air has fulfilled its role, matters are resolved, and it's time to move on to the next adventure. 🌬️✨

While your deck's 10 of Swords may appear less severe than others, it's a card that shouldn't be taken lightly in terms of emotions or any other aspect. I sense that "X" is feeling worn down by an ex who hasn't been fully overcome yet – reluctantly reentering the dating scene because it seems like the expected thing to do, without genuinely desiring or expecting to form a love connection. The 10 of Swords often conveys a profound sense of exhaustion and hopelessness; "X" may be emotionally numb at the moment, finding it challenging to feel much, if anything, for someone new.

If the other cards paint a positive picture, "X" might be open to casual interactions like friendship, dates, or perhaps something physical. However, "Y" should be cautious not to raise hopes too high for an emotional attachment or romantic feelings from this particular person. 🌟

The 10 of Swords represents melodrama, embodying the sense of being 'stabbed in the back' or feeling restrained by negative emotions. Recently, the Page of Cups has been appearing, indicating someone highly emotionally driven, perhaps to the extent of overlooking logic.

This doesn't seem to be a healthy relationship.😔

It seems like "X" is currently dealing with lingering emotions from a past relationship, and the 10 of Swords reflects a sense of exhaustion and emotional weariness. While open to casual interactions, it's crucial for "Y" to manage expectations, understanding that "X" might not be ready for a deep emotional connection or romantic involvement at this time. Taking things slowly and allowing space for healing could be key in navigating this situation.

Thanks, everyone! 🌹 The individuals are just beginning to date, and the remaining cards are overwhelmingly positive. However, when I came across that particular card, I couldn't help but wonder if X sees Y as perfect for them. It could imply that they're overthinking, perhaps excessively, about progressing to the next stage but not taking any concrete actions. I'm also considering the possibility that it signifies a fear of being rejected.
