Quick hit: Cut, accident, surgical, sharp
Quality: Negative
Timing: Ten days, weeks, months, the 10th of the month, October; sudden, surprising, unexpected
Detail: The Scythe is a sharp card. Its blade cuts, severs, separates or harvests. It can point to accidents, peril or threats. It can represent surgery or even computer hacking. It’s abrupt and sudden.
