Three of Swords Tarot Card Upright and Reversed Meaning - COSMARA APP

Three of Swords

Keywords: Sadness, Unpleasant Memories

[Upright Interpretation]
The Three of Swords is the card of heartbreak. Under rainy weather, there is a low immersion, various thoughts and ideas passing through the heart. The heart is tangled and cannot get out. Feeling the pain brought by various injuries, myriad thoughts arise, thinking only of sad things. The individual is in a state of self-pity. The theme of the card is heartbreak. If there is illness, there may be heart disease. On the other hand, because it is Swords, it may carry thoughts of self-criticism and self-harm. In relationships, taking the failure of the relationship as one's own responsibility, attributing the cause to oneself, various thoughts of "I am wrong," "I am bad" linger in the mind. The individual bears too much responsibility in the relationship, placing too much emotional pressure on themselves.

[Reversed Interpretation]
The Reversed Three of Swords could mean gradually moving out of the emotion of sadness. The loosened Sword slips from the heart, the pain in the heart begins to heal gradually, stepping out of the Upright Three of Swords situation. From another perspective, the Upright Three of Swords leans towards self-harm, whereas the Reversed Three of Swords could possibly mean hurting someone else's heart. On the Reversed Three of Swords, it also represents the present continuous tense of pain and sorrow or the possibility of coming soon. However, the difference from the Upright position is that the Upright Three of Swords represents willingness to face such pain, while the Reversed Three of Swords is unwilling to face and intentionally ignore such feelings. At times, avoidance or resistance may occur. At this time, it will only prolong the time of pain and sorrow, increasing the pain oneself.

In relationships, the Reversed Three of Swords can represent oneself or the other party refusing to forget past hurts, causing the feeling of pain to hurt oneself repeatedly. Although one understands this should not be done, or is trying hard to change this situation, one still cannot let go. This card represents current and future situations.

In career matters, many times it represents constantly trying to find ways to change some things or feelings, but unfortunately, humans are small, and the environment is great. The feeling of powerlessness will continue to strike oneself time and again. For those with their own companies or personal studios, mostly some crisis has occurred currently. Although one tries hard to find ways to improve, unfortunately, the terror of the environment makes efforts slowly become ineffective. Coupled with the shaking of confidence, internal strife and external troubles appear.

[Detailed Meaning]
Interpretation One: The appearance of the Three of Swords represents the emergence of sadness or pain, or the current situation causes oneself pain and sorrow. This situation is the result of a chain reaction; some things happening on the external reality level caused discomfort on the inner spiritual level. Although this card brings pain and sorrow, it is also a good card for learning and a good card for examining oneself. Because at certain times, crisis is opportunity. If this card appears in the Future position, it counts as a good warning sign......
