Okay, so I got this tarot deck a while back, and I’ve been messing around with it, trying to learn the ropes. Today, I decided to focus on the “3 of Swords” card and see how it could tell me about how someone sees me. Sounds a bit out there, I know, but stick with me.
First off, I shuffled the deck, really focusing on the question, “How does this specific person see me?” I cut the deck and pulled the 3 of Swords. Right away, I’m thinking, “Oh great, this doesn’t look good.” I mean, the image on the card is pretty grim – a heart pierced by three swords. Not exactly a warm and fuzzy vibe.
So, I started digging into what this card means. Apparently, upright, it’s all about heartbreak, pain, and tough times in relationships. It can point to misunderstandings, betrayal, and just general unhappiness. I did read somewhere that this card means that both me and the person are unhappy. This is a tough time for both. This card also mentioned about “open and honest communication”. Maybe there is still a chance. I have to try.
- Shuffle and focus: Really get into the question.
- Draw the card: See what the universe (or my subconscious) throws at me.
- Research the meaning: Hit the books and the internet to figure out what the card is saying.
- Reflect on it: Think about how this applies to my situation and what I can learn from it.
Then there’s the reversed meaning. Some sources say it’s about releasing pain, forgiving, and moving on. Others say it’s still not great, just a bit less intense. I also read somewhere saying that this card appear reversed means that the person is “well read”. This is a bit confusing. I don’t know what does it mean by saying “well read”. I think I need to find out the connection between “3 of Swords” and “well read”.
I also looked at other cards that might show up with the 3 of Swords. Like, if The Lovers card pops up, that’s supposed to be a good sign. A good sign about love. The number of this card is 7. But it didn’t show up this time, so I guess that’s not in the cards for me right now.
In the end, this whole exercise left me with more questions than answers. Does this person see me as someone who’s hurt them? Or are they picking up on my own pain? Is it a mix of both? I even read somewhere that it might indicate that the feeling of pain could “bleed into” how one feels about the other. If the other cards show up, it could decide if there is still love.
I guess the main takeaway is that there’s some heavy stuff going on, and communication is probably key. Or maybe I’m just reading way too much into a piece of cardboard. Either way, it was an interesting experience, and I’ll probably keep messing around with these cards. Who knows what else I’ll uncover?
