Three of Swords

A fact that cuts.

  • 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.
