With an old friend of mine giving me a tarot reading, neither of us having too much experience with it came into some confusion. My friend was doing a Horseshoe-type tarot reading to answer the general question of 'How will my future progress?' and for the third from the left card (Positive Influences to the question) I received the 10 of Swords. From all the knowledge both my friend and I had of that card we could not understand how this quite negative card could be referring to positive influences in a horseshoe setup. If possible interpretations could be messaged to me it would be very appreciated thank you.
