Ten of Swords
 
This card shows the culmination of the same destructive pattern occuring over and over again. It is reflected in the blood-soaked dresses hung up by swords in the dark forest of the tortured mind. The figure lies submissively and yet in angst as the sword wielding being proceeds to stab. It is our choice to remain in the same pattern with the same outcome, or roll out of the way and do something fresh and different. There is nothing to lose at this point. Know that the past has once again reared its ugly head, and yet "Ten" is the end of a cycle, so take heart that after this it can only get better if you allow it. The pattern will be broken that has been holding you back from some signifigant growth, but it is only you who can break it. This is a chance to wake up to a new perspective, take responsibility for your new soulular growth.
