Three of Swords
The Three of Swords signals emotional pain, betrayal, and distress, often brought by harsh news or rejection. Upright, it points to heartache, alienation, and anxieties such as fear of germs that exacerbate stress. Reversed, it suggests avoidance of problems, continued trust in someone who has caused harm, or a turn toward companionship and healing. The card encourages acknowledging pain honestly so healing can begin while warning against ignoring wounds or giving trust prematurely.
