Three of Swords
Minor Arcana · Air · Saturn in Libra
Upright
heartbreak, painful truth, grief
A clean wound. Something true was said and it hurt, and the pain is the honest response to a real loss. There is no way around this one, only through.
Reversed
healing, releasing pain, holding the grudge
Either the wound is closing, or it is being kept open deliberately and the hurt has become identity.
