3 of Swords as a Daily Tarot Oracle Card
Oracle Message: Take a deep breath & brace yourself. The news isn’t good but it will get better.
There’s no hiding from it – something’s gonna hurt today. It may be a new break up, an argument with a loved one, or the anniversary of a painful event. There is nothing warm about the 3 of Swords, it has no apparent sunny side or angle to draw strength from.
Or does it? Unless you are the one to break free from chains of an abusive or onesided relationship, then no. But if you are, then there is hope. But it will still hurt, initially, of course it will. So you must be strong and bear your heartache and know that this too shall pass. One day not so far away, you will remember this dark and lonely day and smile that you made it through.
Outside of the realm of love, this card can also indicate issues that cause you pain, discomfort and disruption. This may be financial, business or news from afar. I cried when David Bowie died.. So be aware that even if it’s not direct, you will still feel it. The best you can do is prepare and be good to yourself when it hits.
