You pull the 3 of Swords during a tarot reading and are taken aback by the image of multiple swords piercing a heart. Surely this can’t be a good omen, can it? While the 3 of Swords does indicate some heartbreak or betrayal, it’s not entirely bad—every setback teaches you a lesson, and this card is also a reminder to learn as you heal. In this article, we’ll explore what both the upright and reversed (upside down) 3 of Swords might mean for your love life, health, career, and more, plus what you can do to take its message to heart.
Things You Should Know
- Upright, the 3 of Swords represents heartbreak or betrayal. It’s a reminder that some pain is inevitable, but there’s always a lesson to learn from it.
- Reversed, the 3 of Swords symbolizes healing and moving on from past hurt. You may have forgiven someone, released a grudge, or had a spiritual breakthrough.
- In a “Yes or No” tarot reading, an upright 3 of Swords typically means “no” while a reversed 3 of Swords means “yes.”
