Overall impression is a sense of comfort, and a feeling of home and belonging. A man nearby you who is of stoic, reliable character, probably an earth sign. While your own nature might seem at odds with his at times, there is a sense of rightness in your being together and a feeling of bringing out the best in each other. A sense of both potential and familiarity that is at once nostalgic and comforting as well as exciting.
“close to you” might have been better phrasing, metaphorically speaking the last two cards jumped out of the deck. I imagine you are the queen of swords
taking your retreat from the forces of the outside world. to me this could also indicate a break from magickal practice, or a feeling of chasing your tail with no clear progress. it seems there is some kind of system or hierarchy which is holding you in sway. this could be a magickal system, your workplace, a social or religious group. do not worry. you’ll have a reawakening soon, and the next work you do will set the stage for very long-term changes in your life — you’ll be building a legacy for yourself. it will likely be related to the material world; finances or a general sense of comfort and contentment that will serve you for the rest of your life.
I’m the opposite - astrologically would be queen of swords, and this is certainly in my nature, but I tend to show up in readings as the queen of wands. must be that Leo ascendant hope it resonates, thank you for the feedback

you have a strong will, and inner reserves of strength that will drive you to incredible success if you can channel it correctly. currently, you run the risk of allowing your ambition to get the better of you. don’t bite off more than you can chew or you will find yourself caught completely in a tangle of your own making. the 10 of cups here is great omen for your future accomplishments and happiness. overall it seems that there are lessons you must learn and trials you must go through before you can truly reach the pinnacle of success. on the other side is a complete transformation which will change the very way you see the world around you.
