Three of Swords

The Three of Swords represents heartbreak, sorrow, emotional pain, and grief. It signifies a painful truth, betrayal, or loss that cuts deep. This card acknowledges the suffering that comes with such experiences but also suggests that facing the pain is necessary for healing. It encourages you to allow yourself to grieve, release painful emotions, and eventually find a path towards recovery and understanding.

Reversed, the Three of Swords can indicate releasing pain, forgiveness, and recovery from sorrow. You are beginning to heal from heartbreak, let go of past hurts, and find acceptance. This card suggests that while the pain was significant, you are moving towards emotional recovery. It can also mean minimizing or suppressing pain, which may delay true healing if not addressed.
