A painful situation coming to a definite end; room to start fresh.

Symbolism
A figure lies face down on the shore with ten swords in their back, under a black sky. Yet a golden dawn is already breaking on the horizon over calm water. It's an unmistakable ending, deliberately dramatic, that makes way for a new beginning.
Yes or no?
No. In a yes or no reading, Ten of Swords leans towards no. Reversed it can soften: less a flat no than a “not yet” or “not like this”. Yes or no tarot
