Three of Swords
A more ominous card than most, the Three of Swords often reflects moments of loss, pain, betrayal, or heartache—either within your own experience or because you are causing pain to someone else. Although the presence of such obstacles may feel overwhelming, very often a greater lesson will emerge from the shadows—one that may push us to the brink of our clearest self-awareness.
Facing Adversity
How we face adversity can have a lifelong effect on our happiness if we habitually choose to ruminate on the negativity we experience. You will rise above this stress when you realize your full potential to learn and grow from past mistakes or challenges. Look to the lessons that conjure your truth and rally your strength. This defines the inner alchemy of transmuting fear into love.
Reversed
There is light at the end of the tunnel, and now you must continue to move forward. You have acknowledged your shadow and have been able to process it into a positive light. From this stage, you are ready to see the world through an entirely new lens. If there are, conversely, negative influences that still linger in your life, it may be a good time to face these and prepare yourself for some kind of acknowledgement or healing.
