About the image: 78 Tarot Carnival - Cirque du Tarot. A figure wearing a tight laced pink corset and a French blue shrug holds two knives, crossed. They have green/blue hair in a Marcel wave style. A red patterned blindfold covers their eyes, and a large, blue third eye is wide open in the middle of their forehead. Behind them is a wheel with alternating blue and red sections, like sections of a pie. Behind the wheel is a starry dark sky. Each Tarot card offers us a Gift, Invitation, and Challenge. Before you read on, decide which one you would like to know, then read on to see the answer. GIFT The Gift of the 2 of Swords is Clarity. Not blinded or distracted by what others want you to see, you perceive things as they are. INVITATION The Invitation of the 2 of Swords is Initiation. This is the beginning of a life-altering situation or relationship that will change you as a person. CHALLENGE The Challenge of the 2 of Swords is Defensiveness. Is being unwilling to let others know your truth a strategic decision to keep yourself safe from harm? Or is fear of vulnerability stopping you from moving forward? (If you picked the Challenge, the antidote to this is the Gift, so look at that too!) #TarotCraft #TwoOfSwords#DailyTarotReading #AllisonJeanTarotCraft "The Gift of the Two of Swords is that you can now see things as they are instead of being blinded or distracted by what people want you to see. Your inner knowing perceives the truth. We come again to discernment. The Gift that people may come out of this situation with is the Gift of discernment, and the Gift of trusting. Trusting in themselves, being able to tell truth from false, or things that will help them, from things that will hurt them."

This means that things can happen unexpectedly and rapidly and that change can be forced upon you rather than naturally evolving.

When the 10 of Swords appears, it's telling you that something is absolutely over and done with or that there is no benefit to be had from proceeding with a particular plan or approach. If it were to predict an actual physical death, I'd be looking for Death, along with Judgement in the same spread.
One view of the 9 of Swords is that it shows the negative things that happen in the mind – obsessive thinking, intrusive thoughts etc. It reveals inner pain, whereas in the 10 of Swords the pain is outward and visible.
