78 Notes to Self: The Tens
The Tens by Ginny Hunt
So if nine is the finale, why the ten? Because ten is neither the end nor the beginning, but a transition between an ending and a beginning to a higher order of things. See, the number ten is the start of a whole new order of numbers and the culmination of the numbers that come before it.
All the base ten numbering systems in existence from ancient times such as Hebrew and Greek systems use the number ten as this natural transition between the numbers that come before into the numbers that come after. A look at the number values assigned to the Hebrew and Greek letters show that the letters were given values from one to ten, then increasing in tens to 100 then increasing by 100’s and so on. Numbering by tens is natural for us given our ten fingers which are quite useful for adding and subtracting. You have to re-use fingers when you get past ten, so it starts a new “order.” So ten represents “completeness of order.” It symbolizes a cycle has completed and all is where it should be. As such it represents the perfection of divine order. (read the full post)

Great show!
Thanks Ginny for your insightful thoughts on the 10’s. I am living a 10 of swords and it helped me to think about it a little bit further.
