The Three of Swords represents emotional pain, heartbreak, or betrayal. This card appears when you're going through a difficult time - perhaps a relationship ending, a friendship falling apart, or receiving news that deeply hurts you. The Three of Swords acknowledges that pain is real and valid, but it also reminds us that this too shall pass. There's a sense of deep sorrow here, like a storm that must be weathered. Allow yourself to feel the pain, but remember that healing is possible.
