The Freedom in the Fall & Honoring the Ending
By TMLD

The Ten of Swords often looks painful and it is. But what it represents is a blessing in disguise: the absolute end of something that cannot come with you. This is the final breath before the rebirth. The moment when all that’s left to do… is release.
The energy of the Ten of Swords appears when:
A relationship, belief, or phase is ending — possibly abruptly
You're exhausted and need permission to stop holding it all
A new beginning is trying to emerge, but something must be surrendered first
It invites you into radical acceptance, not of defeat, but of truth.
Let it end with honor, endings are part of life’s rhythm. This one may not be comfortable, but it is cleansing. There is wisdom in bowing out. Strength in letting go. And there is beauty in choosing to rise again, on your own terms.
