X of Swords

This cards scares people when it shows up, almost as badly as the Death card.

Remember that the number Ten is a completed cycle. This helps in explaining the card.

Each Sword falls into a Chakra point along the spine. The changing colors in the sky tell us that darkness is being lifted. The bottom color is blue, the color of spirituality and mental awareness. There is a narrow strip of brown telling us that he has used logic to get past this difficult time. The yellow says that the figure has pure energy to get this done. There is a hint of gray, for the wisdom learned and finally, the black is saying that they have tried everything and are now ready to get up and start again. The fingers are in the shape of the “Okay” sign. He is aware that the hard times are almost over.

It looks like he is bleeding, but that stands for the purification process that he has endured. And, what a process it has been! There were many trials and tribulations for this person.

Another side of this card is the back problems that the querant might have. Look to the other cards to see what health issues are present.

This card also speaks to the feeling of isolation and loneliness that is almost unbearable.

In reverse: This expresses carelessness and negative thoughts. It says to me that there is intentional harm being done to one’s self. Do they drink too much? Are they involved with drugs? Are they working to the point of exhaustion?

This will represent suicide, either attempted by the querant or someone that they care deeply for.

Rejoice! The bad times are almost over. You will be rewarded.
