Three of Swords
A fact that cuts.
- Arcana
- Minor Arcana
- Suit
- Swords
- Element
- Air
- Heartbreak
- Painful truth
- A clean ending
Upright
Something you did not want to know has surfaced and it hurts. But this pain came from truth rather than misunderstanding, so the view clears once it passes. It corresponds to ending a relationship or being clearly refused.
Reversed
The wound beginning to close — or the opposite, holding the pain and replaying it. Repeated recall is not healing.
Advice
Let it hurt as it hurts. Just do not take it out again every day.
