You are in a whole world of pain at the moment and boy does it hurt! Someone out of the blue has broken your heart or hurt you deeply with their words or behaviour. You could even be suffering the loss of a loved one. If you need to cry it out then do, accepting this situation and allowing the grief to flow through you is a healthy way to face this misery. Learn by this situation and start to make a plan to move on as holding onto what has happened is only going to prevent you from feeling any future happiness. The Three of Swords talks of temporary hurt, so know that this will pass soon if you are prepared to let it go. If you are taking things to heart by people who don’t mean that much to you then you have to be mindful to strengthen your resolve. If it is someone close, try and figure out what their motive is and see if you can recognise compassion in their behaviour. Also analyse why their words are triggering things for you, is there anything from the past that needs to be resolved?

What we tell ourselves on a daily basis is what we become. Be mindful to lose any negative views about yourself and stop any self-criticism. You can be creating a whole world of pain for yourself just by your own belief system. If you identify with this it’s time to change your thoughts and concept of yourself. Alternatively you may be reeling from a loss or end of a relationship, but in reverse this card signifies you are on the up. Allow yourself to grieve this process and strive to look for positive change whenever you can. You may also be reminded to develop a tougher skin if you are being exposed to oppressive people in a work or relationship environment. Don’t let them get to you! All in all this card is about healing from grief and pain and encouraging growth. If you are in a difficult relationship, be mindful to watch your words as you don’t want to say something that you will later regret. Self-love is what is in order right now, without this, you will struggle.

You are mindful at the moment to dig deep and be the strongest that you can be. You could be reeling from a loss or heartbreak and are finding the pain really difficult to cope with. You are working towards allowing yourself to grieve and ideally wanting to find some new beginnings that will bring you hope and distance yourself from the pain that you have recently encountered. It’s time to keep your chin up and keep focused on your personal goal which is to find happiness, learn from this situation and be stronger for the future. You can do this, just keep telling yourself that every day!

You can’t for the life of you work out how to process this recent heartbreak. It is with you constantly 24/7. You may have had a loss, have a relationship end or anything that has brought you deep grief and sorrow. This however is only temporary but you find yourself holding on to what was said or what happened. You have to try and be mindful to change these thoughts when they come, to positive ones. You must strive towards embracing change and distancing yourself from the heartbreak. By all means cry, shout, scream, run until you can’t run anymore, do anything to alleviate the pain. If you choose to hold onto this awful energy you will find yourself prolonging your agony and delaying your recovery. Dig deep, be brave and try to move forwards from this unfortunate time.

In the past you experienced a loss or a heartbreak that sent you reeling. You thought that you would not be able to move forwards as the wounds cut deep from the situation or the behaviour of someone that you loved. Looking back you know that you never want to go back to that dark place again. If there are whispers of this pain still lurking in your energy it is time to rid yourself of this once and for all because if you stay in the grief you will only attract further pain and upset. You need to focus on a new future where you are stronger from this past hurt. Learn from this past lesson and develop a tougher skin. You are stronger than you think, believe this and any negative challenge that you could potentially face in the future will be so much better dealt with.
