Stabbed In The Back
Ten of Swords
[Ten of Swords]
Hi {NAME}.
You arrive at the path when you're stabbed in the back... The Tens represent that your relationship path comes to successful completion, or you'll start over because the relationship never achieved a successful completion.
Astrologically the Ten of Swords is related to the zodiac air sign of Gemini (adaptable, clever, quick-witted, duel, changeable), and the planet Uranus (strong mind, witty, speaks with frankness, has high standards, unpredictable).
The Minor Arcana represents your choices and actions throughout the realization of your destiny. The Swords usually indicate a struggle or conflict, or a possible decision that you'll make about separating from your past attachments. There is a desire to find the truth that will shed light on your situation, so you'll act on it and find closure.
The message from the Ten of Swords: "I've been through the worst time in my life, and this experience feels like I was stabbed in the back! Everything went wrong and turned into a nightmare, and I was left with a terrible sadness that won't go away. The pain still lingers like the first day it happened!"
About The Symbolism
The Ten of Swords is enumerated ten and signifies that struggles are coming to an end. The number ten also suggests that you arise from the ashes and enjoy a new beginning because all endings bring new beginnings.
The black sky represents the sad ending of a cycle. The Sun rising in the distance represents a new beginning. An Archetype, having been stabbed in the back, lies on the ground, near death. This Archetype has experienced drastic changes, disruption, failure, insecurity and mental harm brought on by the betrayal of a loved one!
All this mental pain results in the feeling that happiness is now impossible. The Ten of Swords represents closure with the situation and is an indication that everything has reached the worst and final stage, the ending of a very bad cycle.
The red reflection on the water from the rising Sun represents action and the timing of the situation. The sunrise represents an ending and a new beginning, bringing the imminent fading of darkness and marking the dissipation of worry that had plagued the Archetype. A new day with a fresh start is on the horizon.
The water in this card represents the River Styx, the sacred boundary which separates the living from the dead. It indicates the time when the boatman brings the Archetype's soul across the River Styx to Pluto's domain to heal because the path that he or she was on has ended! The nearby gray mountains represent the timing of a goal.

My Interpretation of the Ten of Swords
The Ten of Swords is not a happy card to see in your reading. It signifies that one is mentally suffering from a loss or an ending that was extremely painful.
Complete release and acceptance of the situation is necessary, a realization that everything has gone as far as it can go and nothing can change the outcome. There is no reason to hang on to something that was never going to work.
An entire dream shattered when a goal became destined to never reach fulfillment. The painful ending required help to overcome, in the form of friends and possibly even a professional. It may have been the end of a romantic relationship, loss of a job, or abandonment of someone once loved.
Repeated stressful relationships are extremely taxing on the mind, body and spirit. People will stab you in the back because they can. They want to get ahead and make you look bad because they have insecurities about themselves and want to look better at your expense.
Positive Position: A painful situation is ending. You may feel like you're at the sacred boundary of the River Styx, feeling abandoned and left to die. Someone you loved and trusted hurt you, and now you're waiting for the boatman to pick you up so you'll be able to experience a rebirth. The worst is over! You can recover from your mental pain by accepting the ending and releasing your hopes that the outcome can be reversed. There is no reason to hang on to something that will never work. You should reach out for help from friends or a professional.
Negative Position: You can't accept the ending of a bad situation and the pain still lingers. You can't move forward, are mentally stuck and can't let go of what happened. It is necessary to regroup, find the courage to start living again, and get the help that you need!
Timing is within 10 hours, 10 days, months, or the winter season.
With Love,
Safina
