Three of Swords

Upright

Keywords: heartbreak, an honest wound, sorrow that needs feeling

The pain is real, and denying it will not send it away. This card gives permission to grieve honestly as part of healing.

Reversed

Keywords: a wound drying, forgiveness, the rain easing

No rain falls forever. Slowly the wound dries; do not rush it, but do not keep raining on it yourself.
