from: The Base Cards for the Tarot Suit of Swords - Six through Ten
You may learn about some of the meanings and uses of the sword
cards in a tarot deck. This article highlights the cards six
through ten.
The Six of Swords is a symbol of purposeful retreat or
abandonment. Sometimes problems truly are too great to be
defeated. It may be necessary to remove yourself from the
situation, as the boat steering man in the tarot illustration is
doing. But this decision must be made rationally with
contemplation of the past and future. This card represents
moving on from painful things to find peace and happiness
elsewhere, all the while balancing thoughts and emotions.
The Seven of Swords goes into double edged sword territory. The
tarot card represents confidence and intelligence. The person
identified with this card is often a trickster or some kind of
con artist. They work solo, distrusting others. Indecision can
take them down various path before they choose one. This sort of
behavior can lead to a hollow victory or a loss if the card is
putting someone else in the position of trickster. If whatever
goals you have in front of you force a degradation of your moral
integrity, reset those goals. It won't be worth the price paid.
The Eight of Swords bears an illustration of a person tightly
bound. In a tarot reading, this card represents some sort of
restriction- often caused by the self. You may be paused in
inaction due to a lack of confidence or a fear of failure.
Something is preventing you from moving forward (or at all) and
needs to be overcome. Doubt and fear can only tie you up in
knots and render you immobile. But there is hope in this card.
The figure does not have their feet bound. They can walk away
from this if they drop the feelings that put them there in the
first place.
The figure on the Nine of Swords tarot card is in bed and just
awoken from a nightmare. Bad dreams are often signs of held unto
fear, regret or doubt. These feelings are deep, with roots in
the spirit. They need to be dealt with and conquered or else
they will take up permanent residence and you will never have a
sense of peace. Be aware that the mind can make things seem
infinitely more gruesome than they are. Conquering these demons
will not be as hard as you think but it will take effort and
strength. If this lesson is not picked up on, the punishment of
the Ten of Swords may befall you.
The Ten of Swords is what happens if the lessons of the other
Swords cards are not learned- annihilation. The harmful failure
or major disaster that brings about the feelings of this card
will be unexpected. It could be the result of some bad karma
coming back your way. Unfortunately, most of the time with this
card you'll just have to bear what hits you. On the other side
of this darkness is light- if you are willing to do some self
evaluation and see (and learn) what lessons you have missed thus
far. It is the culmination of all of the Swords cards and the
turmoil and juxtapositions contained within their sharp
boundaries.
