Three of Swords
The Three of Swords (KittyCorn deck) depicts grief and heartbreak, symbolizing painful truth, sharp endings, and words that sting while clearing away illusions. It often points to necessary separation, honest confrontation, or the sorrow that must pass before you can breathe again. Amid the rain, gentle comfort and grieving are part of mending; reversed the card emphasizes healing, forgiveness, and the slow knitting closed of a tender heart. Reversed can also warn of avoidance—tucking feelings away delays recovery—and the overall message is that pain is a teacher and tenderness, time, and self-compassion restore trust in the heart's rainbow.

Visual description
A pastel rainbow heart floats in the center of the card, pierced by three swords with golden hilts and icy blue blades. Rain and droplets fall around the heart against a cloudy, stormy sky. A delicate lace-like border with tiny paw prints frames the scene and the title 'Three of Swords' sits at the bottom.
Meaning
The Three of Swords in the KittyCorn deck shows grief with a squishy pastel wink: upright it speaks of heartbreak, painful truth, and those sharp words or endings that sting but clear away illusions. This card can point to necessary separation, honest confrontation, or the sorrow that washes through before you can breathe again. Even as the rains fall, the kittycorn's gentle purrs remind you that grieving is part of mending and that clarity often follows tears. Reversed, the image leans toward healing, forgiveness, and the slow mending of a tender heart, like tiny glittery bandages knitting the crack closed. Sometimes reversed also warns of avoidance — keeping feelings tucked under a cozy blanket delays the mending purr. Either way, the message is that pain is a teacher and tenderness is the remedy, and with time and self-compassion the heart learns to trust its rainbow again.
