The reversed Ace of Swords is a card that indicates rejection and disillusionment. When it appears in a reading it is interpreted as a warning, and may indicate that your friend Barbara shouldn't accept a job offer or other job situation, even if it seems attractive. It can be a signal that that particular opportunity is not meant for you or that there are hidden risks behind it. This card can also represent your friend who feels pressured and insecure about business decisions.
The reversed Ten of Swords represents a similar warning to the reversed Ace of Swords: it may indicate that your friend should decline a job offer or other job situation, even if it seems interesting. The reversed Ten of Swords can also indicate that your friend is facing financial difficulties or work-related problems, and can be a sign that her situation is getting worse. It can also be a warning against the hidden risks behind a job opportunity or against taking a job that is not suited to your skills.
In conclusion, the two tarot cards suggest that your friend Barbara should refuse any job offer or job situation, even if it seems interesting. There may be something hidden behind it, and it is important that you consider all possible consequences before making any decisions. The reversed Ten of Swords can also indicate that you are facing financial hardship and work-related problems, so it is important for you to carefully evaluate any opportunities and only make decisions that are genuinely beneficial to your professional career.
