"Jan and Liam, I did a Celtic cross spread and the
10 of swords came up. I always reference my cards on your web site to
make sure I understand the meaning. I came across this paragraph in
the link "about the 10 of swords": Most often, the 10 of Swords should
be interpreted as an unexpected, shocking and traumatic upheaval. But
it's worth looking for clues about how you might be able to lessen the
impact. If you find cards like the 9 of Cups or the 8 of Swords, then
it's probably better to give the dust time to settle before making an
assessment. Things often look a lot worse than they really are. With
the 8 of Wands or the 5 of Disks, you might feel that clear communication
would resolve difficulties. My question about this is: Did you really
mean 9 of cups in the excerpt? It would seem more logical to me for
it to be the 8 of cups. Thank you," Susan

replies:
Hello! No I did mean the Nine of Cups but I can see why you would have
thought that this was not so. As you know, Tarot cards are rather like
onions, every time you peel off a layer you'll find another layer beneath.
The principle that all things have their moment of resolution runs through
(to certain degrees) the Eight, Nine and Ten of Cups. There's always
an aspect of awaiting the right moment with these cards - measured hesitation
you might call it. I really must get around to writing the next layer
of this particular onion, mustn't I? :-)
