Ten of Swords
The Sun in Gemini · third decan
Upright
ending · rock bottom · the worst of it
The collapse is complete, and the sun is already coming up behind it. Nothing worse is coming.
Reversed
recovery · resistance to ending · slow dawn
Getting up, unsteadily — or refusing to admit the thing has ended.
Why this astrology
The pips two through ten map onto the thirty-six decans, ten degrees of the zodiac each, so Ten of Swords is the sun in gemini · third decan — a planet working through a particular third of a sign. Aces are the root of their element and the courts carry it as temperament.
