Romance, Love Or Relationships:
In the context of love this card does not have to be the death knell of a relationship, but it does almost always point to relationship difficulty and pain. In order for the relationship to survive, both parties must be willing to work on and talk about the relationship. You may find that someone you thought cared about you is not as loving as you had supposed. Do not take this too personally or dwell too long on the pain, if that is the case. You are being guided to the relationship that is right for you. You cannot force something to be right or someone to care if they do not. The right person will care – of their own accord – without you doing intense contortions, so to speak, to make it happen.

Regardless of the way that the Three of Swords card is depicted, know that it is not all bad. Although there is an element of sorrow that is undeniable when this card appears, what lies on the other side of this sorrow can be enhanced understanding and joy. Allow yourself to fully experience any sorrow or pain that comes up now, so that you can move beyond it.

Complete Book of Tarot: Trump 9: The Hermit. Despite living a life characterized by Love, Prudence, and Justice, we may need to get away for a while to ponder who we are, where we are going, and how to put our lives in perspective. Prayer and meditation are powerful practices that rank ninth in the order of trump cards.

Portable Magic: Another more productive approach is to use the negative tarot cards to embody the hurtful forces they represent, as a way of neutralizing them. For example, the Three of Swords might be used in a malicious way to cause unhappiness, separation, or disruption. However, it can also be intelligently employed to represent a source of disruption, and by acting on this card with limiting or modifying energies represented by other tarot cards, the source of disruption can be banished or neutralized.
Complete Book of Tarot: Some clients use the tarot regularly for meditation and spiritual enlightenment. When a querent has no specific question in mind, one can do a general reading to suggest issues that are currently important for the querent to ponder. General readings often highlight concerns that warrant further exploration. For example, the Chariot might indicate plans to buy or sell a car, the Hierophant might presage a church wedding, Justice might refer to a court case or legal matter, and so on.
