The Experience of Heartbreak
Ooof, I’m sorry. This is a rough one. The Three of Swords is the heartbreak card, pure and simple. Something has hit you like three swords through your chest. This is a card for breakups, grief, accidents, betrayal, difficult diagnoses, and disasters. Whatever happened, it has left you feeling broken, and you’re not sure how to put the pieces back together again.
Advice During Heartbreak
In desperate times, sometimes all you can do is quote Robert Frost and remember that, 'the best way out is always through.' This isn’t a heartbreak you can escape. You have to feel it. Accept that something deeply awful has happened. Express your pain, and eventually, you will be able to begin moving on. The danger of the Three of Swords is that you will absorb this pain into your identity. Let yourself feel deeply, but don’t get stuck here. There is joy to be felt again. There’s a lot more life to live.
Heartbreak in Your Surroundings
If you are not feeling heartbroken right now, take a look around you. The card might be referring to someone else in your life who is feeling this way—perhaps coincidentally, but possibly because of your actions. Have you broken any hearts recently?
