For me, the Ten of Swords has always been about finality — like, the door is shut, locked, and maybe even burned down. 😂 It’s not always negative, but it is always conclusive.
I’ve never personally read it as "the worst is over," more like "this is the worst — and now you have to move on." It’s brutal, but clear. No wiggle room. I’ve seen it show up in breakups, job losses, and even ego deaths during major personal shifts.
The key, I think, is context. If it’s surrounded by supportive cards (like The Star or Six of Swords), I lean more into the "light at the end of the tunnel" vibe. But if it’s next to The Tower or Five of Pentacles? Yeah... buckle up.
