Combination of card Four of Pentacles and card Ten of Swords
The combination of these two cards suggests the end of a difficult period and the start of stability. The Ten of Swords symbolizes the end of a painful period that has left lessons and experience. The Four of Pentacles, in turn, speaks of stability, confidence, and reliability. This could relate to financial stability, resilience in relationships, or self-assurance. For example, if you went through a tough time at work and finally received a promotion, this is what this combination represents.

If the Ten of Swords is upright and the Four of Pentacles is reversed, it may indicate that you have finally overcome difficulties, but instead of achieving the desired stability, you are now in a state of uncertainty and even fear of the unknown. You might fear that old problems will return or that new ones might emerge. For example, after successfully completing a difficult project at work, you worry that a new, even more challenging project might arise.

If the Ten of Swords is reversed and the Four of Pentacles is upright, it means you are still overcoming difficulties but can already see the light at the end of the tunnel. The Four of Pentacles in this context indicates that stability is near, and you will soon enjoy it. Imagine you are renovating an apartment—it's a challenging process, but you can already see how it will look in the end, and that makes you happy.

Finally, if both cards are reversed, this combination suggests that you are in a state of chaos and instability. You may be unable to overcome difficulties and see a way to achieve stability. This could be related to financial problems, unstable relationships, or lack of self-confidence. You might have lost your job and don't know how to find a new one, or your business may not be going as planned.
