Image description on Ten of Swords Mermaid Tarot
No life is forgotten. Only the empty organic matter where it used to be (meaning the body used to be the place for the soul) and the history of the people who once lived will be told. That is how the story was made, through what was left behind. There is no need to mourn for what is lost, instead, celebrate what remains after each break, the pieces will be told. We are left with pieces of the puzzle, uniting what has and will be. The end will also be the beginning.

Meaning of Ten of Swords Mermaid Tarot in the upright position
The end is the end. There will be things in this life that we cannot really get over or can never go back in time to change. They are done, gone, and in some respects, permanently imprinted on the historical cycle. There is no way for the merman who has found himself collapsed on the white snow to get up. The life he once knew is over. The human life he experiences is also completed. He has now gone down in history for others. That is the nature of all living things in this world. This is part of that order. If there is no end and we do not go down in the collective history, there is no room for anything new. Things that never come back are wonderful sacred things.
While the upright Ten of Swords Mermaid Tarot feels uncomfortable, it is not necessarily the end of the world. You can still get a clearer signal, for example, be careful in placing your trust.

However, keep in mind, when one door closes, another door opens, things will soon go in a better direction.

In terms of work and finance, the upright card can represent failure. A big project you are working on could catch on fire at any moment.

Rejection is not a good thing. It is not even reasonable. It is all over. Everything that comes to an end has its purpose and effect. This is just the way things work. You can plead fervently. You can jump up and go crazy. You can even shout out the catchphrase “Why?”. None of that can change the fact that things that once existed no longer exist. Doors are closed, things are over, and the cycle is about to be completed. Fight that fact with everything you have, if you will, but it will not change the outcome.
