TAROT LESSON OF THE DAY: TAROT SUIT OF SWORDS The suit of Swords is associated with intelligent thought, education, the legal field, and the medical field. It can also represent disputes or problems. ACE OF SWORDS The Ace of Swords gives every card in the reading extra significance; the other cards are very loud, perhaps even distractingly so for the client. The Ace of Swords in general, indicates a sense of power or strength. In events it can indicate right timing, and in matters of health it can indicate surgery; ‘going under the knife’. It can also indicate a new start in education. TWO OF SWORDS Indicates inner struggle – the head says one thing, the heart another, and the gut something altogether different! Tension! I once read an excellent description of this card which indicated the kind of tension that is usually felt after an argument. Things have seemingly moved forward but still a tension remains. This card also indicates a dilemma, settlement or agreement. THREE OF SWORDS Stress, sadness, separation and loss. FOUR OF SWORDS Taking time off work, school, or life in general and recharging the batteries (usually associated with illness). Resting… FIVE OF SWORDS Defeat; or an empty victory. I usually see this card in relationship readings. It normally indicates one of two things: the person has been betrayed and this card indicates both the betrayal and feelings of anger or, this person ‘wins’ the affections of the desired person but ends up asking themselves, “was it worth it”? SIX OF SWORDS Going on a trip, literally. Also indicates that things are going to get better, usually because there is a movement away from a difficult or emotionally challenging situation; can also indicate solving problems and learning to look at things with a new perspective. SEVEN OF SWORDS Theft, deception, lies, and illegal behavior. In relationships this card indicates evasive behavior. EIGHT OF SWORDS You got yourself into this mess, now face reality and get yourself out! Also indicates communication difficulties and misunderstandings. As with most Sword cards there is a feeling of helplessness. NINE OF SWORDS I have found this card to represent lack of sleep or troubling dreams. Also, there is usually a strong sense of the client worrying about other people when this card appears, along with sleepless nights, stress and despair. TEN OF SWORDS The key concept behind this card is deception or betrayal. If it’s a relationship reading then a relationship is suffering and may end due to lack of honesty. In fact, for any area of life this card indicates an end, usually an undesired ending of what they want most. COURT CARDS PAGE OF SWORDS Messenger of crossed swords or trouble between two individuals. When we see this card there is usually gossip being spread about the client, feelings of being unfairly criticized, and finally, communication which is usually upsetting. KNIGHT OF SWORDS This card often indicates swift changes happening within the client’s life; new people, new opportunities. It can also indicate a person that is assertive and a good problem solver. Occasionally (very occasionally) this character provides excellent professional advice to the client. QUEEN OF SWORDS A strong willed woman who is independent and very intelligent – especially in business. KING OF SWORDS A cold yet rational person that would probably have a position of authority or responsibility.
