Previous cardTen of Swords
Tarot card meaning:
Though the Nine of Swords showed despair, the meaning here is even more serious. Ruin of plans and projects. Defeat in war. Disruption of home life. Tears will fall. Trouble will come in spite of riches and high position. Not a card of violent death. A suggestion to give charity freely to those in trouble.
Arthur E. Waite - The Pictorial Key to the Tarot :
Ten of Swords card divinatory meanings:
Whatsoever is intimated by the design; also pain, affliction, tears, sadness, desolation. It is not especially a card of violent death.

Authority, overseeing, secret service, vigilance, spying, examination, and the qualities thereto belonging.
