Card 64 The Ten of Swords
aka Daggers, Knives, Leaves, Quills etc.
Keywords: Challenging/Achievement
Beware a tendency to imagine the worst.
For New Students: With this nine the keyword, “Challenging” suggests that you stop and consider whether you are moving in the best--or simply the most convenient direction; while “achievement” reminds you that, whatever your situation, you have everything you need now to chart a better course. Whether it seems as if everything is happening too quickly, or nothing is moving at all, giving in to feelings of over optimism or that you are “carrying the weight of the world” on your shoulders is not in your best interest.
