X of Swords/Ten of Air

The 10 of Swords is characterized by defeat and misfortune, possibly a betrayal by another.  However, it’s also a death to an old way of thinking – a new perspective is arising.  Like the saying says, it’s darkest before the dawn.  Old ways of thinking no longer serve you – you’re rising above those old thought patterns now.

XVI: The Tower.

Yikes.  Change is coming, whether you like it or not.  This is a big change – you’ve outgrown the old structure you built on both a physical and mental level.  You must destroy it.  Allow it to crumble in order to make room for the new structure.  Remember that by giving something up you stand to gain.
