 Ace of Swords Tarot Guide

This post is intended to be a mini Ace of Swords Tarot Guide. It is important to mention that the longer you work with the cards the more you will discover how they speak to you. For example, the Ace of Swords does have a theme and traditional meaning but I would recommend leaving “space” for the card to speak to you. Over time, you may discover that the card represents unique insights or themes for you personally.

Shadow Side of the Ace of Swords

  • The querent has the potential to be successful in their conquest but they have made (or will make) a decision that hurts their chances for success.
  • The querent’s energy may be “scattered” and unfocused.
    • Are they so high level that they cannot see what is right in front of them? 
    • Are they distracted by so many ideas that they are unable to focus on the path ahead?
  • They may be so hyper-focused on their own idea that they are not open to the ideas of others that may help them be successful in their conquest.
