Three of Swords
III OF SWORDS signifies betrayal, sacrifice, heartbreak, and sorrow, often arising from blind trust in others. It acknowledges that pain is temporary and that trusting again may lead to further hurt, reflecting the cyclical nature of human error and disappointment. In reverse, the card points to healing, optimism, forgiveness, and release, emphasizing that grief is a process rather than a permanent state. Though scars may never fully heal, the card urges letting go of what causes persistent pain so recovery can begin.
