I had felt that an ominous message was coming for 2 or 3 weeks. I did a tarot spread one morning, before the mail came, to see if I could expect something nasty (in-law problems, long story).
An envelope from my mother-in-law arrived.
It gave me a terrible feeling of dread because the tarot spread had told me that “yes”, I could expect unpleasant news. And also, the “Card of the Day” was the 10 of Swords, never a good omen—backstabbing, surgery, illness, death…that is usually what this card brings to me. I shudder when I see it pop up in a reading.
I took the letter that my mother-in-law had sent and went to have lunch with my husband during the noon hour. I gave the letter to him, sitting there on pins and needles while he opened it…
It was information on sporting events!
(Sigh of relief)

The Ten of Swords has never been one of my favourite tarot cards but generally I know that no matter what comes, there’s no where to go but up from this point on.
