Beginnings and Intellect
Aces represent beginnings and the essence of the suit. Swords are intellect.
Honest Perception
The Ace of Swords is honest perception. Most of the other swords in tarot are held at an angle, to suggest logic tempered by flexibility or emotion. Not here. The Sword is held straight up and down. Whether you like it or not, the Ace of Swords is truth.
Innate Knowledge
At its best, the Ace of Swords is when you know you are right. Sometimes this comes as an innate flash of knowledge. Sometimes it comes through research. Notice the dark clouds surrounding the sword without obstructing it. Assumptions and feelings do not factor in. This is a card for setting aside how you feel about an issue in favour of objectively recognizing what is actually happening. This isn’t intuition; it’s knowledge.
Cutting Through Conflicting Feelings
If the Ace of Swords comes for you at a time when you aren’t feeling this unbridled confidence in your judgment, then it’s time to cut through the conflicting feelings. The Ace of Swords is double-edged. Most likely the truth that you need to discover is about yourself.
