Ace of Swords
This card represents a dramatic turning point that divides life into 'before' and 'after,' bringing unexpected information that can be both transformative and challenging. It signifies intellectual breakthroughs and new insights, but warns of potential conflicts, separations, or difficult revelations. The card emphasizes the dual nature of truth and knowledge - they can liberate the soul but also cut through illusions, sometimes painfully. In practical matters, it suggests significant changes in career or finances, often through sudden revelations or authoritative decisions.

Symbolism
The sword-skull, blessed from above and destroying the material world – the green vine. It is also illuminated with the color dorado – symbolizing luck, fortune, and good fortune. The clouds show us the connection with the air element. We traditionally associate the suit of swords with intellect, intuition, learning, working with information, but also conflict, sharpness, danger, knives – how we look at the artifact itself – a knife. The butterfly is a monarch, that very soul, airy and light.
Card's Message
Such a person's life is cut into 'before' and 'after,' harshly and sharply. The person will receive new information, and it will come from an unexpected sphere. Relationships – of course, the card is complex and doesn't bode well; information will be revealed that causes people to break apart, may signify separation or a pause. Career – If the person is connected with uniforms (military, police, etc.), then this is likely a symbol of a new position. If an ordinary person – a blow, possibly even unpleasant information. Money – difficulties with money, possible loss.
Visual Description
A single large sword stands vertically in the center, its hilt morphing into a skull-like helmet with a spade motif. The blade plunges down into a tangle of green vines and yellow flowers, some blossoms and a butterfly visible among the foliage. Golden light and sunlit clouds flood the sky behind the sword, creating rays that spotlight the weapon. At the bottom edge the word 'SWORDS' is printed on a cream border.
