10 of Swords

Element: AirAstrology: Sun in Gemini

A figure lies face-down with ten swords driven into the back, while in the distance a golden dawn breaks. It is the absolute ending, the worst outcome, rock bottom reached. Yet nothing more can go wrong: the pain is over and a new day begins.

Meaning

In the light · upright

Liberating ending, hitting bottom and being reborn, accepting closure, dawn.

In shadow · reversed

Ruin, total betrayal, victimhood, dramatizing the ending.

Mantra

It has hit bottom: now only the dawn remains.
