3 of Swords

3 of Swords

Introduction

Regardless of how this card is depicted (a heart with swords running through it), know that all is not bad. While there is an undeniable element of grief when this card appears, what lies on the other side of this sadness can increase understanding and joy. Now experience any element of pain or grief that arises; Remember, what doesn't kill makes you stronger.

General

In general, this card may indicate very deep emotional issues that need to be addressed. Denying the pain doesn't deny the pain, you have to accept the problems. However, as in the Sword 2, balance is very important. Allow yourself to experience the pain, but don't stay too long in it. Only you can decide how much time is enough, others cannot decide for you.

Work

Your emotions and ego may be impaired for a work-related reason. Try to take this into account. Your whole life is not your career (or at least it shouldn't). Finding a better reason to work can help. Do not hesitate to ask questions. If you are looking for a job, you are likely to find a different job than the job you are looking for. Do not give up.

Love

In the context of love, this card does not have to be the death knell, but your relationship is likely to take a very difficult road. For the relationship to survive, both parties need to walk this path together and talk honestly about the relationship. You may find that the person you think cares about you is actually not as loving as you think. If that's the case, don't take it too personally or suffer. You are moving towards the relationship that is right for you. You cannot force something to be true or for someone to care about you. The right person will gladly walk this path with you.

Finances

Unfortunately, this card can be a little heartbreaking when it comes to money. But the thing to remember is that you won't be helping yourself by being afraid and rushing things. Look at your situation without fear and consider step by step what you can do to correct it. If the situation as a whole seems insurmountable, try to fix it piecemeal without looking at the big picture. Don't let your pride stop you from asking for financial help when you need it. By getting others to give it to you, you're doing them a favor, too.

Health

The news about your health may not be as good as you hoped and/or emotions/depression/anxieties may be taking a toll on your physical being. No matter what your situation is, having a positive attitude is very important at this stage. Remember that doctors are not gods, treat yourself with love and compassion. Surround yourself with as many positive people as you can.

Spirituality

This is not the time to focus on situations/people who have charted their own course in life. You must make room for new things to come to you in your life, in your heart, in your soul. Have you done all the good you can do for yourself? The answer you seek is within you, and you may need help finding it. You should talk to someone you trust about this situation.

Introduction

Even if you feel some pain and disappointment, you should remember that this situation will pass and bright days will take its place. When you draw this card, you may already be dealing with pain and grief, know that this pain will not last forever.

General

Overall what this card represents is some disappointment. It doesn't necessarily have to be something that will completely change your life. It's just that something you hoped didn't happen the way you'd prefer. Allow yourself to feel any pain that comes as a result. This isn't really the end of the world.

Work

In a business context, it can be very easy for you to misunderstand people and your colleagues. Your best bet would be to ask questions about situations and not make assumptions without your knowledge. Don't think too much and don't go into details. People can be unintentionally humiliating in some situations, don't let it get you down and try to ignore it.

Love

In the context of love, this card; indicates misunderstanding, sadness and grief. You may have just broken up with a relationship, or someone you're certain to be in a relationship with may have given up on their decision. Ultimately, what you need to do is to feel the pain, but not to turn it into cruelty for yourself. We all have more than one soul mate on the planet, out of billions of people there is not a single person right for you. Remember that when one door closes in life, another always opens.

Finances

It is possible that your worries about money will cause you more problems than necessary. Take a deep breath and remind yourself that as long as you do your best, your needs will be met. Fear will never help you. This is not the right time to make risky investments because the feeling of fear over you may overshadow your future earnings. Try to keep your money safe.

Health

You may not have all the information you need about your health. Research on your own, consider getting second or even third opinions if you have a health problem. Don't ignore what medical professionals are telling you, but if your instinct is trying to tell you something, listen. If you are feeling anxious and this is affecting your health, be sure to report this to your healthcare professional. Great anxiety can negatively affect almost your entire quality of life. You can get help to get this under control.

Spirituality

Spiritually, everything may not be so clear for you. Be careful if you encounter a person who claims to have the answers to all questions spiritually. Their answers may not be the same as your answers. There is no harm in learning about different spiritual understandings and ideas, but you may not be in a good time to connect with one of them.
