General Meaning and Interpretation (Upright)

Generally, the Three Swords represent unhappiness, heartache, sorrow, and sadness. It’s a Minor Arcana card of grief, loss, depression, and tears. When it appears in your Tarot reading, it usually indicates a period of difficulty or hardship, usually at an emotional level. Distraction, conflict, disillusionment, and profound misunderstanding are all represented by this card, so whatever the situation means will lead to confusion, turmoil, and upheaval. Three of the Swords also indicate depression, trauma, disorders, loneliness, absence, and betrayal. You have suffered or will suffer some loss or betrayal when this card appears, and not one that can be easily brushed over. You will feel this loss deeply emotionally, and you have to give yourself time to process what’s happened. This card is not all bad, although it does represent hardship. The most difficult situations often teach us more about who we are and what we can do than good times. Give yourself time and space to heal and learn from your experience. If you need support, don’t hesitate to contact people who love you.

​Love and Relationship (Upright)

Reading Tarot’s love, if you are in a relationship, the Three of the Swords is not a great omen, as it represents tears, heartache, heartbreak, sorrow, and conflict. This does not have to mean the end of your relationship, but it makes it clear that some complex issues must be addressed for the relationship to survive. First, you must sit down with your partner, have an open and honest conversation about your feelings, and respectfully listen to each other. Declining arguments, ugly comments, or recriminations will only worsen the situation. Second, you may have become unhappy or disillusioned with the relationship. You and your partner may lack communication, leading to severe misunderstandings and a sense of alienation or loneliness. Third, three Swords may indicate a person’s breakdown, divorce, or separation and the legal issues associated with such events. The three swords of this Minor Arcana card may also indicate the involvement of a third party. This may mean interference from a third party trying to stir up trouble.

In some cases, it may be cheating or infidelity, as it is a card of turmoil and betrayal. Fourth, the Three of the Swords may indicate loneliness or alienation if you are single. You may still feel the loss of your previous relationship and struggle to cope with your grief. You’re going to have to deal with your grief to move on. It can also indicate that someone cheats on their partner. Would someone who loves and values you put yourself in this position?

​Money and Career (Upright)

In the career spread of Tarot, the Three of Swords represents stress, disillusionment, or loss, so it is not a great omen. This Minor Arcana card can signify grief and loss experienced due to sudden job loss or redundancy. It may also represent becoming disillusioned with your career or prospects. It may also indicate communication breakdowns, arguments, or strike action at work as a division and conflict card. Whatever the case, it’s generally an indication that your career is causing a lot of grief in your life. If you have a conflict at work, try to have a respectful, open, and honest conversation with the parties concerned to resolve it. Listen to their concerns as well as your own. If you’ve suffered a job loss, try to make the most of your free time by doing what you usually wouldn’t have time for. It’s essential to remain positive and realize that a career is just one aspect of your life, so don’t let any issues overshadow the other areas of your life. The Three of the Swords is not a great omen financially, as they can indicate loss and upheaval. You may have suffered financial or emotional loss with economic consequences, such as divorce or separation. Things may not have worked out as you hoped, but now is not the time to stick your head in the sand. Instead, it would help to devise a step-by-step plan to manage your finances. Take one task at a time, and you’ll get through this.

​Health (Upright)

In the health reading of the Tarot, the Three of Swords is not a great omen, as it can indicate ill health, surgery, and disorders. Your health or the health of someone you care about may not be as great as you would have hoped, and you will experience a level of sadness or disillusionment. It can also be an indication of heart problems. However, this card may also be associated with anxiety, depression, and trauma, indicating that any physical health issues may arise due to deeper emotional or mental health issues. Whatever happens, taking care of your mental and emotional health at this time will be extremely important to your recovery, so be kind to yourself and try to keep a positive outlook.

​Spirituality (Upright)

In a spiritual context, the Three Swords indicate that you need healing. Recent events or losses have left you feeling grieved and sad. You may think there is little consolation to be had now. However, our greatest sorrows often give us the most incredible opportunity to grow, learn, and evolve as spiritual beings. Reach out to people that you trust for support at this time, and allow yourself the time you need to grieve for the loss you’ve experienced. Be open to the messages that your spirit guides are sending you; they are there to guide you through this storm.

​Three Of Swords Guide to Reversed Meaning

Three Of Swords Reversed Tarot Card Key Meanings
Releasing Pain, Overcoming Depression, Optimism, Forgiveness, Overcoming Grief/Pain/Sadness, Recovering From Heartbreak, Reconciliation, Compromise, Sharing Problems, Overcoming The Worst, Repressing Emotions, Inability To Let Go Of Pain, Suppressing Memories, Refusing To Let Go Of Emotions.

General Significance and Interpretation (Reversed)

The Three Swords Reverse represents overcoming unhappiness, heartache, sorrow, and sadness in a general context. When it’s reversed, it’s a Minor Arcana card of optimism, overcoming grief or depression, and releasing pain. When it appears in your Tarot reading, it generally indicates that you are recovering from your heartbreak and going through the worst part of a bad situation or event. You may be reaching out to friends and sharing your problems or reconciling with someone you’ve been hurt by. You may have reached a compromise or at a point where you can forgive and let go of past trauma. Alternatively, the reversed Three of the Swords has a flip side. It could be an indication that you are repressing your grief, grief, or traumatic memories. That you refuse to let go of negative emotions and hold on to your pain. Look at the support cards to confirm this.

​Love and Relationship (Reversed)

In reading Tarot’s Love, if you are in a relationship, the Three Swords reversed may indicate that you are moving into a period of reconciliation or forgiveness in a relationship. You are ready to let go of the pain or heartache that your relationship has caused you in the past and to forgive and move forward. Once again, the lines of communication are open, and your relationship has a good chance of progressing as you release the pain you’ve been carrying. In some cases, reconciliation may also be indicated after a breakup—alternatively, the reversed. Three of the Swords may suggest that you hold on to grief, sorrow, or pain and are unwilling to let them go. Your partner may have betrayed or hurt you in the past, and you continue to focus on it and feel unable to forgive them. If that’s the case, you need to ask yourself if there’s any point in continuing the relationship. Your relationship will not grow as you hold onto past indiscretions. This doesn’t mean you’re going to pretend it never happened, but you can’t keep using it as an emotional stick to beat your partner, even if they’ve caused pain and sorrow in your life. You need to figure out if you can draw a line from the past and move forward together. If you can’t, it may be time to let them go so that you can move on to something healthier. The reversed Three of the Swords may indicate healing from breakup, separation, or divorce if you are single. It can also suggest that you are leaving a period of feeling lonely and isolated and much more optimistic about your future relationship prospects. Alternatively, the reversed Three of the Swords may indicate an extreme level of grief following a bitter breakup, divorce, or loss of a loved one. There’s no doubt that what you’ve been through has devastated you. At the same time, holding on to the pain doesn’t make you feel any better. You may need to consider seeking the help of a healer or professional counselor to help you start the healing process.

​Money and Career (Reversed)

In a career-spread Tarot, the reversed Three of the Swords may represent a stressful work or career situation that begins to resolve itself and the optimism that comes in. You may feel more upbeat, and your work environment may be more positive and happy. Perhaps the person who caused the stress left the company. Communication has improved, and a climate of reconciliation, compromise, and forgiveness exists. Alternatively, this Minor Arcana card can mean the already tricky work situation is worsening. Many previous upheavals and the bad feelings that caused them are made worse by people unwilling to let go of negativity or choose to hold back grudges rather than draw a line under things and move forward productively. In a financial context, the reversed Three of the Swords may indicate that you are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel after a period of economic difficulty. You may come to a compromise with lenders to repay a debt, or they may agree to some level of debt forgiveness. You may seek support or help with your financial problems, and you should feel a lot more positive when it appears in your Tarot spread. Alternatively, this card may indicate a severe level of economic loss wallowing. You may have lost a job you loved or lost your home or financial status due to a recession. This card suggests that you still hold on to the memories of what was once, unwilling to accept where you are today. You must understand your situation and start taking tangible steps to improve it rather than wallowing in self-pity.

Health (Reversed)

In the health reading Tarot, the reversed Three of the Swords may mean a return to health after ill health, surgery, or disorders. As a result, you should feel a lot more optimistic about your chances of recovery or healing. Alternatively, this reversed card may tell you that the level of anxiety plays a significant role in any health problems you experience. Don’t let your fear overwhelm you; seek professional help if you need it.

Spirituality (Reversed)

In a spiritual context, the reversed Three of the Swords may indicate a time of forgiveness and healing after loss or heartbreak. Recent events or losses have left you feeling bereft and sorrowful, but you’ve come through it, and you’re finally healing the pain. Alternatively, it may indicate that you are holding on to your sorrow, unwilling or unable to let go of the sorrow you feel. When consumed by grief and pain, we often close ourselves to our spirit guides’ messages. Instead, try meditation or Reiki to help heal the sorrow and allow the guidance your spirit guides send you to enter your heart.

Yes / No Key Interpretation

The Three of the Swords show the presence of pain and suffering either through emotional loss, the end of a meaningful relationship, or a separation of hearts. The emotional disturbances and mental anguish that come with this card depict the answer of no to your question.

Numerology of the Three of Swords

Three is a powerful numerology number grounded in the material world (three dimensions). Creative and stable, three of them can represent our lives as birth, life, and death. In a numerological sense, The Three Swords reminds us that we are in a life cycle that may be difficult and overwhelming. We must remember that time is cyclical; events begin, persist, and then vanish.

Three Of Swords Timeline

Three Of Swords Past
Three of the Swords will be found in our past as a time of sorrow finally left behind, reminding us that we are now in a different position and that we once felt a lot worse than we do today. This will typically show when we lack gratitude and confidence about the issues we’ve accomplished along the way. It will also give us a clearer perspective on the emotional world we’ve built up, even if we’ve failed a few times.
Three Of Swords Present
With this card in our present, we’re ready to release, let go, set free, and move into a different future. It means our resistance to the flow of time and the flow of our own emotions as we are pressed to grow up and face the facts instead of holding on to any illusion. It’s a reminder of sadness that we already carry within, telling us to set it free and allow ourselves to see where it comes from and cry out instead of artificially trying to make us feel better about situations that make us sad today. We must move through the pain to reach the light at the end of the tunnel.
Three Of Swords Future
The future colored by the Three Swords leaves little room for compromises and unsanitary choices, and we will face a situation that could not have been avoided, even though we have tried hard to prevent it today. It means our boundary and when we’re no longer prepared to deal with the same bruises. Holding on to our feelings and self-care is toxic and leads us to the painful process of liberation.

Three Of Swords Important Card Combinations

Are you curious if there is also a period of emotional upheaval when the Three of the Swords are combined with other cards? Below, I wrote down the most essential card combinations of the Three Swords.
Three Of Swords And The Fool
This card combination shows a lack of ability to commit to things. If you’ve been considering starting a new relationship, the Three Swords combined with the Fool tells us that you will struggle to pull the trigger. It’s time to figure out what’s holding you back. Is it worth it that you give so much power over your life? It might be time to take a look in the mirror and finally make a move.
Three Of Swords And The Magician
When this duo appears in a reading, a communication breakdown can cause serious problems. You must be mindful of how you present yourself and your thoughts. Communication is a key building block for all relationships. If you choose not to pay attention to it, someone you care about might be kept away from your actions. Take a close look and make sure you communicate as effectively as possible to minimize any damage that may result.
Three Of Swords And The Hermit
The Three Swords and the Hermit are an omen that you are lonely or will soon feel lonely. Perhaps this is the result of ending a relationship and, as a result, having difficulty adjusting to your new life. You can do this by reaching out to the people around you. For example, a family member or a friend may be able to provide you with the support and comfort you need. All you have to do is take the first step in that direction.
Three Of Swords And The Eight Of Cups
If the Three of the Swords and the Eight of the Cups appear next to each other, you surrender to the benefit of others. If you compromise your beliefs, needs/wants to keep the peace, know that you should always put yourself first. This realization is hard to come to, especially if the person in question is someone you care deeply about, but it is imperative. If yours is empty, you can’t fill another cup. Make sure you get what you need before you think about others and you get the fulfillment you’re looking for.

Three Of Swords in Reading 

The Three of Swords powerfully reminds us that pain and heartbreak are part of the human experience. When grappling with loss or emotional turmoil, it’s essential to acknowledge rather than suppress those feelings. This card does not shy away from the harsh reality of sorrow; it emphasizes the importance of sitting with your emotions and allowing yourself the space to grieve. By facing the depths of your pain, you honor your heart and its journey, even when it feels overwhelming.

Yet, amid the anguish, the Three of Swords conveys resilience and hope. It gently nudges you to recognize your inner strength and the courage from enduring and processing heartache. As you navigate through the darkness, remember that healing is a personal journey unique to each individual. With time, you will find that your scars can become symbols of growth and wisdom. Embrace your healing process without rushing; trust that, in time, you will emerge more substantial and more in tune with your heart than before.
