10 of Swords as a Daily Tarot Oracle Card
Oracle Message: Something is amiss so prepare yourself.
There’s no getting away from the severity and harshness of the 10 of Swords, and there’s no denying it’s effect. The Medieval Scapini Tarot talks of treachery. That may be true for some of you – not everyone has your back. The difference with this version of the card is the swords being in full view of the characters – there’s no back stabbing here suggesting you know who and what has the ability to cause you pain and damage.
That knowledge gives you power, so it’s best to be prepared. Begin your day by checking over loose ends in contracts, making sure you’ve paid your bills – anything you have control over, make sure you take care of it. Keep your eyes wide open and be on your guard.
If you have an ongoing issue with a rival or colleague, do your best to take the moral high ground and don’t engage in or aggravate arguments. Gossip is a particularly nasty pastime with negative results and connotations. You reap what you sow. Make sure today, you have no reason to receive retribution.
