Three of Swords
Upright
heartbreak · sorrow · grief · separation · painful truth
Three swords pierce a heart in a storm-dark sky. The Three of Swords is unambiguous — grief is present, a painful truth has landed, or a separation has occurred. Do not minimize this. Feel it fully, name it honestly, and trust that grief is not a permanent state.
Reversed
healing · recovering from grief · forgiveness · releasing pain
The acute pain is beginning to soften. Healing from heartbreak is underway, though it is not yet complete. Forgiveness — of yourself, of another, of a situation — is becoming more possible. Let the swords come out gently.
