The Symbolism of the Three of Swords Tarot Card
This card is represented by a heart that has been pierced by three swords. There is no landscape present in this card. The background is simply ominous clouds, and it is obvious that the rain is falling heavily.
The General Interpretation of the Three of Swords Card
When appearing in a spread, this card implies the purest and deepest of sorrows. What form this takes will differ, but it is usually some form of loss. Everyone experiences loss differently, feeling losses in different areas of their life with differing intensities.
For some, this sorrow will come from the loss of a valued career. For others, it might be the loss of material things that have great sentimental value. It could also represent the dissolution of a marriage or longtime relationship and in some instances, it may even indicate loss relating to death or illness.
The Three of Swords is not a card that should induce panic; it is simply a warning that this situation will occur, and that it must be dealt with, not avoided.
The Inner Meaning of the Three of Swords in Tarot
The Three of Swords is the image of the kind of sorrow that tears at the heart, leaves one vulnerable and feeling as if the world will never be put right. It is a card that indicates that this sorrow will leave one in the pits of despair. It may leave the individual feeling as if there is no way out, no relief from the feelings tearing through the heart. The Three of Swords is generally considered a negative card, with its connection to loss.
However, this card is not without hope. The night is darkest before the dawn, and so this sorrow must be felt and experienced for closure to come. The Three of Swords promises that if this unending sorrow is dealt with, if closure can be found, then relief will come. It will not be immediate, for grieving takes time, but the darkness cannot last forever.
