Ten of Swords

This card is the “Actual Display” of your current situation. “The Ten of Swords” in Rider-Waite looks terrifying, with a man lying prone with ten swords in his back.

The dawn on the horizon symbolizes the coming light. On a practical level, this indicates you are experiencing a complete end, failure, or betrayal, but it also means liberation and a new beginning.
