A key aspect of reading your own tarot is interpreting cards. For a beginner interpreting a single card can be fine, as there are plenty of resources to help you out, however interpreting two or more can be very tricky.
However, if you have been practising single card readings for a while a 2 card spread will be a great introduction into reading multiple cards.
As you’ve found this page, you’re probably wondering how to interpret the 10 Of Wands card and 5 Of Swords card together in particular.
The 10 Of Wands card and 5 Of Swords have unique qualities and will interact with each other in different ways depending on what kind of reading you are doing.

The meaning of the cards will depend on what kind of reading you are doing and the question you asked the deck. This is a guide covering the general meanings of the cards and how they relate to each other.
Common 2-card spreads
Whilst it’s great to know who these two cards interact with each other, it’s important to note that the meaning will depend on the context of your spread
The most common 2 card spreads I recommend to newer readers are:
- The 2 card cross (otherwise known as “The Fool’s Journey”)
- The 2 card “Yes or No”
“The Fool’s Journey”
Setup: The two card cross is where you place two cards face up, one placed vertically and with one laying horizontally over
Interpretation: The 2 cards represent a “situation” and a “challenge”. The first card will describe the situation you are in with the second horizontal card being the “challenge” crossing you (literally crossing you in this case!)
Reading: Using the overviews in this guide is a great way to start. First, look at the meanings of the 2 cards, and see how they might relate either as your “situation” or “challenge”. Once you have that you can look at the general overview for how the two cards interact with each other.
The benefit of this spread is that it can give clarity when you’re feeling uncertain or anxious. Once you have clarity of thought, and a strong idea of what your challenge is you can find solutions to help your situation
The 2 card “Yes or No”
Setup: The 2 card “Yes or No” is where you place two cards face up side by side, whilst asking your deck a “yes or no” question.
Interpretation: Each card in a tarot deck has a “yes” or a “no” meaning. Look at the meanings of each card, and you will have your answer.
The benefit of this is you get a stronger yes or no compared to a single card draw. You may find you often get a mix of “yes or no”, and this is fine. It simply means there is doubt, or things are not yet clear.
Yes or No meaning
Both 10 Of Wands and 5 Of Swords mean “No”. If you are asking a direct question, then be under no illusions, the answer is a negative one. If you draw 10 Of Wands and 5 Of Swords the answer to your question is “NO”.
The “Yes” and “No” meanings can differ from reader to reader. The meanings here are based on what I believe are the generally accepted definitions.
What does 10 Of Wands mean?
Health: The 10 of Wands Tarot card can be a sign that a person is stressed and overburdened with responsibilities to the extent that their physical and mental health is suffering. It can indicate that a person is doing too much, physically or emotionally, and they are feeling overwhelmed. This overburden can manifest in physical fatigue, headaches, insomnia, and poor appetite. The 10 of Wands is a warning that a person needs to step back and reevaluate how they are managing their life to ensure they are taking proper care of themselves.
Finances: The 10 of Wands Tarot card is symbolic of financial instability and being weighed down by debts and obligations. If a person is constantly feeling financially burdened it can lead to stress and depression. It’s important to keep a handle on debts and not let them become too overwhelming. It may be difficult to pay off debts, but it’s not impossible with wise budgeting and careful management of finances.
Relationships: When The 10 of Wands Tarot card is present it can indicate a person is overburdened with too many relationship responsibilities. If a person is feeling weighed down by too many relationship obligations it can lead to feelings of isolation and disconnection. It’s important to take time for yourself and take a break from the intensity of relationships. This break can help restore balance and clarity in relationships and provide a person with the perspective and energy to approach their relationships with more ease and mindfulness.
What does 5 Of Swords mean?
When it comes to health, The 5 Of Swords Card can indicate that someone is not taking proper care of themselves, which could lead to physical and mental health problems. It could also signify that someone is using unhealthy coping mechanisms, such as drugs or alcohol, to deal with issues. In addition, it can be indicative of a victim of physical or emotional abuse, or someone who has experienced trauma that has not been dealt with in a positive way.
In regards to finances, the 5 Of Swords Tarot card can suggest that someone is not taking a responsible and mature approach towards their finances. It may signify someone who is not handling their finances responsibly, such as by taking on too much debt or making poor investments. It can also hint at someone who is not being honest about personal finances or is otherwise not taking a mature and responsible approach towards them.
When it comes to relationships, the 5 Of Swords Card can indicate that someone is engaging in bullying behavior, or is in an abusive relationship. It can also signify someone who is being taken advantage of financially or emotionally, or someone who is being treated unfairly in a relationship. It can also suggest that someone is not taking a mature and adult approach to relationships, and is instead acting out of emotions or impulse.
Conclusion
