Meaning
A woman stands in the rain with three swords piercing her heart. She has been wounded by words and actions and is feeling much pain. The Three of Swords is about the unpleasant—and yet, unavoidable—parts of life: disappointment, failure, loss, sadness, and grief. It reminds you that they are part of your human experience and that we all go through them. You should accept these feelings, no matter how uncomfortable they are. Know that it is okay to express yourself and lighten the load by confiding in others. Allow yourself to feel everything without trying to change it. This pain is temporary, and it will soon be washed away, leaving you stronger and more resilient for having gone through those rough times.
Visual Description
A faceless woman in a long yellow floral gown stands among bare trees and tangled undergrowth beneath a stormy blue sky. Three swords are plunged into her chest, a red wound visible, while purple, teardrop-shaped raindrops fall around her. Her long brown hair falls over her shoulders and her arms are outstretched to either side. A stitched border frames the image and the title at the bottom reads 'THREE OF SWORDS'.
