Three of Swords

Meaning

This card represents acceptance of or facing the pain and sorrow.

Tarot Reading

A heart is pierced by three swords together, with a dimly lit rainy day in the background. It is a striking image that visually speaks to the meaning of the card – heartbreak. However, the image keeps a certain harmony in the chaos, because the three swords seem to have formed a symmetrical shape inadvertently. It tells people repeatedly that sadness is something that everyone must experience, and it will make people grow up. As long as you accept your grief calmly, it will be transformed into your growing strength. The picture only describes the appearance of a broken heart, but does not describe the cause of heartbreak and the healing process. You shouldn’t lose sight of what happened just because of your emotional injury, which leads to delayed healing of wounds.

Conjecture

The Sword tell the Conjecturer to recognize the sadness properly and let it become something good for your life.
