Interpretation of the Card
On the card, the grey sky is filled with clouds, and a man lies on the ground with eighteen swords sticking out from his back, depicting a tragic and pitiful scene that is truly shocking. The Ten of Swords is a bad card with a very negative meaning, including pain, sadness, and suffering, as well as any uncomfortable emotions. At the same time, the Ten of Swords represents situations that are "excessive," symbolizing the consequences of things developing too far.
The highlight of this card is the red long robe the man is wearing, symbolizing his love for life. Under the dull and oppressive sky, there is a gradually brightening dawn light, indicating that the darkness is about to pass. The water by the man's side is very calm, suggesting that the situation is not as bad as imagined. Although the person who died in the darkness cannot return, the dawn will still come as usual.

Upward Career
In the upright position, the Ten of Swords in career matters indicates something very simple — quitting, leaving the current work environment, which may be a transfer, retirement, or a period of self-reflection. Another meaning is to stop the current position and move to a better or worse one, which could also mean the possibility of a transfer. From the perspective of owning a company or a personal studio, the situation indicated by this card is often quite harsh and very sad and hard to accept.
Reversed Career
In the reversed position, the Ten of Swords in career matters suggests leaving the current work environment to develop elsewhere. It can also be said that the person realizes the current environment has become so bad that they can no longer tolerate it and have the idea of changing jobs. From the perspective of owning a company or a personal studio, it gives a feeling of starting over, which can also be interpreted as a change in business strategy or a re-evaluation of the market. There is a possibility similar to a comeback after defeat.
