Swords (synonyms: Blades, Swords) in the Tarot suit are the third in a row. In a playing deck, this suit is displayed in spades. Spade cards are considered negative, and Swords also partly absorbed rigidity and implacability.
The element of Epees is air. Among the primary elements of Tarot, Swords are usually associated with this light element. However, the mobility of the air of Swords has nothing to do with the mobility of the water of Cups. The element of the Shpag suit is filled with freshness and clarity, however, it is harsh and sometimes even merciless, like gusts of cold wind. Air is synonymous with pure knowledge.
Symbolism of the suit of Swords
The sword is a very unambiguous symbol, known on all continents. Weapons embody the desire to establish their own order anywhere, to establish their own law. The sword cannot be considered a symbol of power, but it can be safely called the key to it. In the Major Arcana, the sword holds Justice, which symbolizes its double-edged nature.
This is the most powerful of all four suits. And of course, the most dangerous, because it brings with it conflicts, pain, aggression. The sword at its worst is war, battle, blood and death.
Interpretation and meaning of Tarot cards of the suit of Swords
Life aspects ruled by the Swords
The suit of Swords is closely related to the rational principle in man.... This includes logic, intelligence and an impartial analysis of what is happening around. But due to the fact that a person is a creature inseparable from emotions, the creation of an insensitive realm of pure reason is doomed to failure in advance.
This is evidenced by the development of a suit full of numbered cards with many unpleasant and frightening meanings (Three, Five, Nine and Ten Epees). Even the neutral meanings of the numbered Arcana are sometimes questioned by their ambiguity (Four and Six of Epees).
However, do not forget that in the Tarot system there are no unequivocally positive or negative interpretations.
The path of reason is not easy and thorny, and the suit of Swords honestly warns us about this. The development of the suit reflects situations in real life, and there is a lot to learn from here.
Court card traits: cool calculation and no pity
Among the curly cards of Swords, people with clear thinking and strict character prevail. Their desire for justice sometimes reaches the point of absurdity, they are tireless scientists, computer geniuses and calculating villains. This suit completely lacks the concept of human morality in its traditional sense.... The value of a person here is absolutely subordinate to the existing order, it is the suit of the Epee that sets dubious from the point of view of moral experiments "in the name of science." The impersonal truth is of paramount importance, it is the standard and icon of this suit.
Representatives of the suit of Swords are unpleasant in communication. Their keen intelligence and lack of need for human warmth often makes them outcasts. However, such people cannot be denied loyalty to order and thoroughness, they are very good employees and valuable specialists. Efficiency is synonymous with such people.
The meaning and interpretation of the card of Swords in the layout
Usually, a large number of the Epee suit in the layout scares the querent, because Swords, as mentioned earlier, are the dubious leader in terms of negatively colored values \u200b\u200bof the Arcana. However, among other things, this means that the situation has entered a period of "woe from wits", when numerous conclusions led its participants to a logical dead end.
The absence of Epees indicates a lack of a logical component in the situation. One way or another, any situation needs to be considered "soberly", and such an alignment eloquently hints at such a need.
Interpretation of Swords in love matters
The suit of Swords in the layouts of a relationship indicates frequent conflicts caused by the excessive demands of partners towards each other. Sword-infused relationships are good for competitive struggle or teamwork, but logic and calculation of this kind is a poor tool for family harmony.
The interpretation of the Epee suit varies greatly depending on the tarological school. Some tarologists attribute this suit to the element of fire, swapping them with the Wands, but this opinion is not very common.
Video: Meaning of Tarot Cards Swords
Ten Tarot swords, the sign symbolizes failure, it will happen suddenly or a great misfortune will happen. You should not resist, you need to understand that this is true, the main thing is to remain calm and withstand a heavy blow. Perhaps this indicates the end of friendship or the end of any relationship, and in specific cases, about the end of the business, everything is real. Let's understand the meanings of the cards:
- Direct position of the card. It symbolizes the completion of something, the end of something that cannot be returned. In any case, this lasso means personal defeat. Perhaps someone will strike from behind. But do not despair, this card can also mean the disclosure of new opportunities. And yet, it shows the completion of a childhood dream and its realization.
- Inverted position of the card. This card in an inverted position indicates the same changes as the straight one. But it shows that the whole situation is aggravating, big thoughts await you and you will not decide on solutions for a long time. Sometimes this lasso indicates your uncertainty, but you can come to success.
These values \u200b\u200bneed to be interpreted correctly.
Ten of swords - love and relationships
A dozen swords in combination, the card means a break with people, partners will destroy relationships. This means moving away from the past, or the moment will become a turning point. Here, the 10 swords of the Tarot indicate the break and end of a relationship. This discrepancy will be final for the pair.
Both partners will be disappointed in the relationship between the sexes and feel hopelessness even in future relationships with a partner. When a similar10 Tarot appeared in divination about feelings, it means a lack of sympathy.
If the card is upside down, it indicates the restoration of mutual relations. Even if a divorce has already occurred, this relationship can improve, and life will be colored with bright colors.
10 swords - work and career
The 10 Tarot spread reveals many conflict situations that consume a lot of energy. The alignment also indicates how the pressure is on your team and why you cannot cope with the tasks assigned to you.
He can show you your next dismissal or the termination of successful projects. The layout will tell you why business does not work out.
Meaning in relationships
Ten Tarot alignment, which is considered the most gloomy. It needs to be correctly interpreted, its understanding is associated with the neighboring arcana. In certain cases, the presence of favorable curries relieves dependence on negative ones. But in fact, this card portends a separation or a great loss.
She says that a person will feel the deepest disappointment and go into a depressive state. A part of a person's soul will perish irrevocably and a feeling of uncertainty will strangle him to understanding what is happening. The person will begin to be afraid of new relationships and try to find solitude.
There are practically no chances of reconciling with a partner. But if the card is turned over, then this changes the matter. Some kind of latent conflict is implied, but the relationship needs to be returned on the right track.
Spiritual growth and self-development. This card speaks of spiritual growth:
- A person must reconsider ideals.
- It is required to believe impulsivity.
- The questioner must believe in himself and proceed to action.
If the position of the cards is turned over, then this means that the person has begun to develop himself. He now understands his past mistakes and drew conclusions. But determination is not enough for him.
Personality portrait
Fortune telling, the goal of obtaining personality characteristics has two sides. The first is today's decision, and the second shows a portrait of the person. The layout of 10 Tarot cards convinces a person that he has an emptiness in his soul and a huge depression.
Outwardly, this manifests itself in different situations. Those people who like to retire, they will begin to go even more towards this, but some are capable of showing aggression. If the questioner wanted to get a characteristic, then 10 swords describes a person with an extremely complex character.
The element of air in 10 Tarot
The element of air in Tarot cards is located in the minor arcana, it dominates the suit of swords. People of this element have certain abilities:
- They are gifted with intelligence.
- They have tremendous willpower.
The element of air gave birth to the elements of fire, as well as water, it is actually conciliatory. The air instantly changes and is abstracted and these people are very good at solving problems.
The suit of swords is a fight. Often people of Air have an internal conflict, a struggle of passions within themselves - a spiritual struggle. But they also conflict with the outside world. They constantly argue, provoke, bully, brag, love to prove they are right, look for the truth, often hurt a living, are able to create trouble for other people and themselves.
When a person appears, the Release of Air becomes alarming.
They are very sociable people, contacts, communication, negotiations are important for them. They can be conflicted and swear, but due to the fact that they have highly developed mental abilities, they always calculate everything, therefore they are excellent diplomats.
This means that they do not argue everywhere and roll scandals, but where it is not costly, where it will not harm them. If they appreciated that having now grabbed the boss and having sent him to all 4 directions on a round-the-world trip, by the end of the working day they will find a dismissal order on the table, then they become correct and consistent:
- The logic is very developed. Women's logic and the logic of blondes nervously stand on the sidelines if the Release of Air appears on the stage of Life.
- Good memory. "I am unforgettable, I just remember evil well."
Signs have a terrible ability - a tendency to stay away, alienation. They are not sociable, they can be closed, indifferent, detached, cold, insensitive and without emotional people.
Insensitive, because for people of the suit of swords it is not peculiar to feel emotions. They do not like to talk about feelings, romance, and often avoid close relationships. They have reason, as well as intelligence, prevails over all human feelings.
Tense, conflicting, calculating, perceptive, expressive, very determined. Conflicts are resolved harshly, they will not think about “What will he / she feel if I say this?”, Even such a thought will not come.
Death card
This card shows equality. Rare people pay attention to the boat, but this card indicates the restoration of normal life and the death of everything old.
The past relationship will not come back, and everything in this card points to a crisis. And how it will end, only God knows, but your relationship will definitely change, you must understand this.
Astrological meanings
The main meanings of the Tarot arcana are:
- If the card is in an upright position, then this means the beginning of a new life path and great success. Most likely, your cherished wish will come true.
- The wheel of fortune in relationships is in an upright position. This means that the life together will improve and normal relationships will begin.
- Arkan Tarot in a direct position at work, it means raising you in position and improving yourself.
- Arkan Tarot in a straight position, then you will get rid of diseases and if your attitude is positive, then you will be cured of everything.
In any case, you need to compare all the factors and decide for yourself what to do and how to be. You need to understand all the pros and cons, and then decide on the use of Tarot cards.
A person who is aware will come to the right decision. You don't need to consider yourself stupid and trust just about anyone. It is necessary to learn to see imaginary values \u200b\u200band understand true ones; people often hold on to something that does not really matter. There is no need to live with an eye on the past. Sometimes it is useful to burn old bridges.

SHARED
Today I continue to tell you about the meaning of the Tarot Arcana in karmic layouts. Despite the fact that this topic is not very popular, many tarot readers may be interested in working with their personal previous incarnations in order to better understand the task facing them in this incarnation. However, sometimes clients turn to karmic questions. The Minor Arcana of the suit of Swords in matters of karma usually indicate situations associated with intelligence, thinking, knowledge and their use. More global aspects are always considered by the Trump cards, and the Court Cards most often characterize the professional activity of a person and his behavior within the framework of work. Let me remind you that the interpretations given below are taken from the books of Alicia Khshanovskaya and have been successfully tested in personal practice. I introduce my own additions here and there.
When considering karmic issues in the Tarot, it usually indicates the presence in the past incarnation of problems related to intellectual activity, willpower, study, and the use of life experience. Perhaps the person underestimated his talents, or had difficulties with logical thinking, memory, the construction of mental structures, therefore, in this incarnation, these issues should be given more attention.
Alicia Khshanovskaya connects the reverse Arkan with illiteracy, unwillingness to learn, mediocre thinking, inability to use the information received in practice. Sometimes on the additional card you can see mental retardation (it is usually symbolized by a combination with the Jester). Naturally, in today's life, there is a great risk of facing the same problems again, the main thing is to solve them, and not let things go by themselves.
The straight Two of the air suit usually appears in karmic dispositions for those people who knew a lot, but did not seek to share the information they received with others, or used the knowledge for other purposes. Excessive foresight could have been the reason for this. The second scenario is bragging about one's own mental abilities, which is often completely unfounded. Working off karma occurs through the correction of the above errors.
The inverted Two of Swords in karmic layouts symbolizes narrow-minded thinking, when a person sees only one side of a phenomenon, event, situation, completely ignoring other aspects. This incarnation is given to the querent in order to learn to see the whole picture as a whole - then the problems will disappear.
Which is so often associated with suffering, pain and longing, in matters of karma, it means a high intellectual potential that a person had in a past life. The trouble is that the potential remained just inclinations, but was not realized. Perhaps the querent dropped out of training, or "grabbed only the tops", remaining forever superficial. Also, this card often falls out to those who talked too much unnecessarily, spread gossip and slander during a previous incarnation, or had inconsistent views. Do not be surprised at this significance, since the system of Alicia Khshanovskaya has a very solid numerological basis and some of the Minor Arcana of the Tarot are not considered quite the same as in traditional teachings. The way to work off karma for the straight Three of the suit of Swords is to maintain the strength of convictions, gain knowledge, and maximize one's intellectual potential.
The reverse card falls out to people who in the previous earthly incarnation lied too much, withheld important information, inappropriately joked about things important to others. The karmic task of this incarnation is to avoid sarcasm, not to be ironic over serious topics, always tell the truth and not make promises that cannot be fulfilled.
Karmic meaning - intelligence aimed at purely material things. Such people in their past incarnation suffered from rationalism, had an overly "cold head" and used their intellect to achieve exclusively earthly goals. In this incarnation, they should pay attention to spiritual development and direct their mental abilities to higher achievements.
The reverse Four of the air suit often indicates cunning, speculation with knowledge, fraudulent schemes, for the development of which intelligence was used, therefore, in this incarnation, a person should avoid dishonest ways, and use his knowledge for extremely worthy purposes.
Good karma passes, which usually does not need to be worked out in this incarnation. In a past life, the querent had a broad outlook, acquired knowledge in various fields, learned how to competently apply them in practice, was engaged in intellectual research and did not stop showing curiosity in the chosen areas. The motto of such an individual was the phrase “Live and learn”.
The reverse position of this numerical Arcana informs about chaotic thinking, when a person makes constant absolutely unnecessary adjustments, corrections, changes to the already existing knowledge, sometimes reaching what is called a "phase shift" in the common people. This also includes individuals who have ended their previous life, falling into insanity. The current incarnation is given to such people so that they realize that the best is sometimes the enemy of the good, and that sometimes you just need to stop at one thing, not trying to correct your own beliefs with the emergence of new theories.
The Air Six reports a person's bias. It often manifests itself through the desire to impose one's opinion on others, through an underestimation of the intellectual abilities of other people (“I am smart, and everyone around is stupid and know nothing”), difficulties in making objective decisions (“It will be so because I said so!) ... All this should be avoided right now so as not to burden your karma.
Inverted Junior Arkan, according to Khshanovskaya, indicates a lack of knowledge - in such a person in the past incarnation, thoughts often differed significantly from actions. Also, people who got a reverse card could weave intrigues, provoke conflicts in the team by “playing off” others, or felt their own intellectual superiority over others for no real reason. The way of working off karma is putting things in order in the head, filling the gap in knowledge, doing good deeds, avoiding meanness in relation to others.
According to the Tarot, a rather complex karma usually passes: on the one hand, people who received a direct card strived for spiritual development, looked for new knowledge, but on the other hand, they very often took facts on faith without any evidence. They could be carried away by fantastic theories, irrational arguments, which they took for truth, without even trying to find at least some confirmation or refutation of what they read and heard. This incarnation will make it possible to correct these mistakes if a person stops recklessly trusting sofa theorists, turns on logical thinking and learns to “separate the wheat from the chaff”.
The inverted position of the Arcana informs about the conservatism of views, the orthodoxy of thinking, the inability to consider alternative points of view. Roughly speaking, a person in a past life clung to one theory and built all his further research exclusively around it, completely rejecting others. To work off this karmic debt, now he needs to refrain from dogmatism.
Falling out on questions of karma in a direct position, this Tarot card indicates the non-use of intellectual abilities, an unwillingness to learn, develop, receive some kind of knowledge. Often, situations pass when a person is simply too lazy to think with his head, because they bought him an education, they gave him a job, they explained what to do, but he simply does not want to engage in self-development. To work off karmic debt, you need to avoid such a development of events, and even if there is “blat” in life, do not forget about self-development and warm-up for the intellect.
The reverse airy Eight appears among individuals who lived exclusively in numbers: in the first place for them were exclusively material things, and all intellectual research turned out to be focused only on how, where and how to get more finance. It is not surprising that such persons in past incarnations could turn out to be swindlers, deceivers, people who collect large sums in debt and do not return them. This also includes any illegal methods of enrichment: theft, the opening of underground casinos, financial pyramids, fraud with inheritance issues. Even one such "sin" in the current incarnation can significantly burden karma.
Traditionally speaking about serious intellectual experiences, in the karmic aspect it appears very similar to the classics: it shows mental torment, too violent mental activity, unresolved internal conflicts that haunted a person in the past incarnation. Also, Arkan may indicate an overestimated idea of \u200b\u200bone's own intellectual abilities. Working off karma occurs by putting things in order in your own head, getting rid of internal contradictions and adequately assessing your mental talents.
The inverted position of the card on the karmic plane speaks of an overly painful imagination, information chaos, concentration on a too narrow circle of interests. To correct the mistakes of the previous incarnation, one should learn to distinguish between fantasy and reality, systematize one's knowledge and expand the range of interests.
A very painful one acts as a significator of alignment of karmic obligations. Yes, yes, often very difficult cards for the current incarnation indicate the already completed working off of debts during the previous incarnation of the soul. The person who fell the 10 Tarot Swords received quite extensive and deep theoretical and practical knowledge, realized the law of cause and effect, tried to adhere to it throughout his life, and also used the experience gained and gained worldly wisdom, thanks to the correct application and development of intellectual abilities ... There is no longer any need to work off karma.
The inverted position of the Arcanum, on the contrary, symbolizes the aggravation of the karmic situation, since the querent did not know how to follow social norms and rules, often misjudged the situation, looked at things too superficially and was convinced of his own rightness. The practice will be long, but not too difficult - the main thing is to immediately direct the intellect in the right direction in order to avoid repeating past mistakes in the present.
As I already mentioned, Alicia Khshanovskaya, in her study of the karmic aspects of the Tarot, attributes to the Elder Arcana serious aspects of previous human incarnations, to the Younger - smaller, less significant ones, while Figure cards in her interpretation indicate the sphere of human activity and his behavior within the professional field. So what about? What professions can match it? Alicia includes the activities of advertising agents, translators, stenographers, lawyers, diplomats, journalists, couriers, salesmen, secretaries and all kinds of intellectual intermediaries.
If the card turns out to be turned over, then the sphere of activity of the individual could be one of the above, but with an emphasis on manipulating the surrounding word. This includes informers, “yellow press” journalists, advertisers who advertise things completely unnecessary to people under the brand name of something special, various scammers, network marketing representatives, and so on. You need to work off such karma by choosing the correct and honest direction of your activity.
In a past life, he could well have been an inventor, a media worker, an event organizer, a parapsychologist, a programmer, a meteorologist, a screenwriter, a director, an engineer, a tour guide or someone else, the main thing is that his activity always had the desire to keep up with the times, the use of technological progress and a fresh perspective on reality. There is no karmic working off when the Sword Rider falls out.
The reverse card often falls on anarchists, rioters, hackers, propagandists and other people who have used modern technology for dangerous and illegal purposes. If the querent does something like this in his current incarnation, even for the sake of some innocent prank (for example, hacking a friend's page on a social network for a joke), he will aggravate his karma.
In karmic matters, it is characterized by an exceptional sense of beauty and great tact. In the past incarnation, a person under this card could realize himself in absolutely any professional field: art, politics, jurisprudence, design, patronage, the field of beauty and health, therefore, it is better to look at the additional map for a clarification narrowing the range of possible professions. But the main thing is that the karma of the direct Queen of Swords is good, which does not require working off.
But the inverted Air Lady during her previous life suffered from tastelessness and lack of delicacy, so it could well be a fake of works of art, a producer promoting mediocrity, a director of films "for adults", an aggressive politician or something else. Karmic working off should take place through instilling in oneself a sense of beauty and delicacy in communication with society.
It symbolizes the highest degree of development of intellectual abilities, excellent analytical thinking, communication skills, good memory, the ability to use logic and imagination in the analysis, processing and use of information. We can say that with the direct King of Swords, the culmination of the air suit of the Tarot occurs, therefore, karmic working off for the person who received this card is not required - all the debts of the previous incarnation have already been paid off.
The reverse King of Swords indicates serious problems in the intellectual sphere, inability to unleash its potential (which was originally given), difficulties in the perception, assimilation and use of knowledge. During the current incarnation of the soul, a person needs to focus precisely on the development of mental abilities, logic, thinking, since only through working out the problems of this area he can close karmic debts.

This King is a fickle and superficial person. HE wastes energy in vain. He is not a kind person, unreliable, an empty talker and gossip. Riots against authorities. The appearance of this card in the alignment of a judicial question promises failure for the questioner in the lawsuit.
The sword symbolizes thought, spirit, movement, the predominance of the spiritual over the material. This suit corresponds to the element of air.
Swords are the most powerful and most dangerous of all stripes. She personifies secular power, but power that is often used incorrectly and for evil, for their own benefit. In divination, the Swords warn of enemies, danger, failure, even violence and death.
The nature depicted on the cards of this suit is harsh - pines, stones. When interpreting them, special attention should be paid to the sky - whether it is clean, whether it is covered with clouds or clouds.
On a personal level, the Swords represent false friends who are ready for betrayal, business partners or other dangers for the Questioner. In any case, this suit describes people who always do not what is fair, but what is good for themselves, rarely caring for those who are accidentally harmed.
The people represented by the Swords are selfish and rude, on purpose or out of carelessness. They should definitely not be trusted and should be wary of their violence. These people are busy with their own benefit and are not interested in what will happen to you as long as they get what they want. They will harm you for their own pleasure, and if they help you, then only for their own benefit.
Swords correspond to the element Air. They represent the soul, spiritual energies, observation, consciousness, knowledge, intellect, science and art. The world of swords is a world of consciousness and decisions, concepts, meanings and evaluations. Swords are ideas, order and structure, critical perception of the world, originality, liberation, learning and clarity. Wisdom and knowledge allow us to rise to the top of the iceberg. You become part of the whole. If quarrels or destruction prevail in life, then radical changes will surely occur.
The suit of Swords symbolizes struggle, overcoming difficulties, aggression, narrowly focused action ... Ahead is a sophisticated test, and you should think carefully before deciding on a single combat with it. For one can ascend very high and fall very deep.
In the life of a person who sets high goals for himself, trials will be stronger than in the life of someone who is satisfied with little. There is a separation of what is called "middle path", "upper path" and "lower path" ...
The events and situations represented by the Swords are not just obstacles in your path, they are real dangers, perhaps even deadly.
In its most general form, Swords personify disease, natural disasters and other serious, sometimes even sinister problems, including death. Even if the problem is not as serious or mitigated by other cards in the hand, Swords speak at least of upset, anxiety, argument, or tension. 
However, the anger and vengefulness indicated by the suit can be triggered by the situation. Other cards in the layout will tell you whether the Questioner has a legitimate reason for being angry (for example, he is seriously offended and is simply defending himself) or whether this person is by nature dangerous and untrustworthy.
In general, Swords are a malicious and unfortunate suit, and when cards of this suit appear in the layout, they promise something unpleasant. Even more dangerous, the Swords carry with them not only indications of misfortune and failure, but also elements of strength and power. Swords - people and situations - not only desire, but know ways to inflict great pain.
Swords indicate warnings, as most of the cards in this suit carry a negative meaning. Pay attention to additional cards of other suits, if you carry out fortune telling in the layout.
The suit of Swords represents our mental faculties, in other words, that side of life that is associated with thinking. The positive qualities associated with Swords are strength, authority, courage, and initiative. But due to their dependence on the masculine astrological element Air, Swords also represent conflict and enmity, causing pain, fear and aggression. In addition, Swords indicate a desire to speak the truth in the face, to call a spade a spade. This directness causes conflicts: the truth is not always and not everyone likes.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the predominance of the Swords in the alignment immediately speaks of bad news: traditionally, Swords portend quarrels, illness and even death. The minor majority in the layout will indicate the areas that cause anxiety of a person (Cups - difficulties in the family or in relationships with people, Pentacles - financial problems, Wands - troubles at work) and will give a guide to the result that needs to be interpreted in the light of the views of the Questioner.
Court cards of Swords represent people born under the signs of Air: Gemini, Libra and Aquarius.
Ace of Swords
The ace of swords symbolizes the strength and power of the instinctual level of our subconscious and our desires, and first of all, this can be attributed to the basic instinct - the sexual one.
A hand emerging from the clouds clutches a sword topped with a crown. The crown is adorned with palm and olive branches. In the background is a mountainous landscape. The sword is an important magic symbol (magic sword, dagger). As a symbol of protection, it is depicted with a point down. Sometimes, if the point is directed upwards, then it is crowned with a crown: this is a symbol of the "sword of God." They don't just depict a sword with its point up, because for ordinary people this can mean misfortune. However, in some decks such an erroneous image is found (the artist did not know this rule). Therefore, for those who have the Ace of Swords depicted with an error, it is better to consider it "straight", that is, the correct position with its tip down. This rule does not apply to other cards of this suit.
The Ace of Swords is the element of air in its purest form. He personifies thought and judgment. The sword destroys all illusions, helping to see things in their true light. In the scenario, it can mean the acquisition of clarity in something, whether it is solving a difficult problem, clarifying a relationship with a partner or overcoming doubts. No wonder in Russian (and Latin) the word “cut” (secare) also means “to understand”, “to solve” (a problem), remember the Gordian knot.
The correct Ace of Swords means a solution, a solution to some problem, a generally sharp mind, or "a solution from the burden", that is, the birth of a child or a plan. Inverted means that the problem is not being solved, there is no “relief from the burden”. Perhaps the problem has no solution at all. Sometimes, on a purely ordinary level, it can mean parting with someone or a blow of Fate. 
The loss of such a card during the alignment may indicate that a person is prone to impulsiveness, violent temperament, hot temper, irascibility, thoughtlessness of actions, decisiveness. If they carry out an alignment for the future or a relationship with some specific person, then this card can speak of the tenseness of the situation and warn of the need to cool the ardor.
The Ace of Swords is a symbol of unpredictability and an unknown outcome of events, the final result.
Also, special attention must be paid to this card if it fell out in that section of fortune-telling that speaks of health or physical condition, since this card can warn of a serious illness or accident, so you will need to behave extremely attentively to their surroundings. If the Ace of Swords fell out in combination with a card from the Major Arcana, then this significantly increases the value of the highest card.
Reversed value
In an inverted position, tarot cards can receive both the opposite interpretation of the direct position and a completely unexpected meaning. The ace of swords card in an inverted position, despite the general negative specifics of the suit of swords, means a quick victory over the enemy.
Two of swords
Two of swords is a symbol of contradictions: internal and external. An indicator of a person's indecision, the fact that any decision is given to him with great difficulty.
Also, this card is an indicator of complexes and unnecessary digging in oneself, dissatisfaction with the current situation, a symbol of an indifferent attitude to life, an inactive life position.
The positive properties in this situation, which can be indicated by the Two of Swords, are the thoughtfulness and balanced decision-making, the ability to solve problems peacefully.
If an alignment is made for a specific situation, then the Two of Swords will indicate that in this situation, which they are guessing at, it will sometimes be necessary to make a decision between two completely opposite things. In relation to the Major Arcana, the Two of Swords will symbolize the relationship to the situation of the one for whom the alignment is made.
Reversed value
A card of two swords in an inverted position warns the fortuneteller from trusting a former enemy who decided to offer peace in a relationship with the fortuneteller. Most likely, this offer will turn out to be a deception or a trick to entice the fortuneteller into some kind of adventure. 
The person depicted on the card is holding two crossed swords. The crescent moon is visible in the dark sky. His pose is a defensive posture. He does not want to see anything and demands to be left alone. He wants to protect himself from his own thoughts and feelings, because they frighten and irritate him. And two swords can symbolize two factors that forced him to take such a pose. To clarify them, you can draw two more cards.
In the scenario, it usually means advice: leave a person or a problem alone, do not interfere. Inverted, on the contrary, advises you to intervene, offer your help, or even take action.
Three of Swords is an indicator of serious passions and emotions, reflecting strong impulses and aspirations. Perhaps the idea that guides the fortuneteller has already become obsessive for him and acquires an unhealthy character.
In the case of the situation, Three of Swords suggests that you may have to make an extremely difficult decision, or realize something extremely unpleasant for yourself. Also, if you are thinking of some kind of event, event, then this card is an indicator of obstacles and obstacles on the way to their implementation. In relation to the Major Arcana, it enhances their significance.
Reversed value
Many sword suit cards indicate a negative outcome of affairs. The card of three of swords in an inverted position is no exception. In this position, the card is interpreted as a prediction of separation or even divorce, when it comes to family relationships. If there were any hopes for the future, then, most likely, they were not destined to come true. 
Against the background of rain falling from heavy clouds, a heart is depicted pierced by three swords. These are “three kruchinas”, three problems that torment a person. To find out what they are, draw three more cards, each of which will correspond to one of the problems.
In the "Tarot of Aquarius" this card depicts a man indulging in deep despair. This card is usually drawn by a person who focuses all his attention on one problem, while he actually has much more problems. In any case, what he grieves about is not the most important thing for him now, but he does not know about it or does not want to think about it.
The Four of Swords speaks of the exceptional restraint of the fortuneteller, calmness, sometimes secrecy, composure in decision-making. When guessing at the "situation" or "relationship" can say about stagnation in business, lack of shifts and progress. If the Four of Swords fell - this is a sign that you need to pause in some business, step aside, wait, it should become clear to the fortuneteller himself in which case. 
In the case of health and physical well-being, the Four of Swords indicates that the fortuneteller's body is exhausted, strength is on the verge of an end, one should immediately give oneself rest, otherwise complete exhaustion and illness are possible. You should also listen more to your intuition.
The relationship with the Major Arcana of the Four of Swords is rather complicated. For example, if the alignment was carried out in connection with a desire to find out some details about a certain case or event and the Four of Swords and Tower XVI fell out, then this is a bad sign, meaning collapse and complete failure in business, without the opportunity to fix something, go start again ...
If you were guessing on the relationship and the Four of Swords and Magician I fell out, then this is a warning for the fortuneteller that he is behaving somewhat selfishly, should be less carried away by his persona. Also, such a combination of cards can characterize a person as withdrawn and not reckoning with other people's opinions. This means that it is worth listening to other people's opinions, otherwise the relationship may simply come to a standstill or the business will fail.
Reversed value
There are some tarot cards that predict loneliness. These include the card four of swords in an inverted position. In this position, she predicts misfortune and the collapse of hopes. Most likely, the fortuneteller will have to be alone for some time, and the nature of this loneliness or solitude will be violent.
Description of the Four of Swords
In the chapel, on a tombstone, lies a living man in knightly armor with his eyes closed and his hands folded on his chest. One sword is engraved on the side of the slab, three others hang on the wall. The only bright spot on this map is a stained-glass window from a Gothic window depicting a holiday.
In some decks, he sits in a graveyard or just in an open area, immersed in deep thought. The card symbolizes a person who has decided to retire from the world. He gave up, renounced his feelings, "buried himself alive." But he is alive, and his brain is full of thoughts, so his venture is doomed to failure. The meaning of the card is that you do not need to fence yourself off from the world, unless you are doing a deep esoteric practice over yourself, then it is better to get up and go outside, to the people who are waiting for you. Thus, in an upright position, this Four recommends action, "go out to people."
In an inverted position, on the contrary, advises to postpone this: the time to act has not come yet. In the “Egyptian Tarot” deck, four swords converge with their tips to one point, which gives it an additional sense of reconciliation, truce (both in a straight and inverted position).
A Five of Swords is a bad omen, as it has the most disturbing and unpredictable reputation of any card in the deck. The Five of Swords indicates emotional instability and mental imbalance, or great anxiety in the soul. And if they are guessing at a relationship, then this card is an indicator of betrayal and deception, meanness on the part of a loved one, an unpleasant surprise. 
The card indicates the end of a difficult battle, which cost a lot of effort to both the winner and the vanquished ("Pyrrhic victory"). It can also mean leaving, parting with someone. In general, she says that the person who pulled her out will face some kind of struggle, the outcome of which is unclear. The losses are in any case obvious, but the gain is doubtful. So is it worth starting it?
Inverted: damage and injury are still inevitable, but the outcome is no longer a draw, but a clearly losing one, that is, the prognosis is unfavorable. In the "Egyptian Tarot", when this card is upright, the swords are folded into an inverted pentagram, which predicts losses and failures.
Only in the inverted position does the forecast soften somewhat (“draw”).
In relation to the Major Arcana, the Five of Swords also has a negative meaning and indicates mental disharmony, difficult inner experiences. And all the same, the negative data of this card is not smoothed out, even in spite of the positive characteristics of other cards that fell out in the layout.
The Five of Swords is like a fly in the ointment in a barrel of honey. If other cards promise success in business or in a relationship, then the Five of Swords is an indicator that the joy from the outcome of all events will be very small and the result will be obtained with too large losses, not even justifying the final outcome.
Reversed value
Some cards, regardless of position, have the same interpretation. For example, the card of five swords in an inverted and upright position equally denotes the sad fact for the fortuneteller of the triumph of his enemies or those who dislike him. In addition, sadness and loss lie ahead.
The Six of Swords is the exact opposite of the Five of Swords, even though they are so close in rank. And its difference is that in the scenario the Six of Swords always promises success in business or in a relationship, in the future. If we are talking about the characteristics of a person, then the Six of Swords is an indicator of poise and a stable emotional state, an indicator of a cheerful life position, a person's tendency to help, reliability.
If they are guessing at the situation, the future, then the Six of Swords that fell out indicates that progress in the matter is guaranteed, good advisers and reliable partners will be found, and positive changes.
If fortune-telling is about relationships, then the Six of Swords is a symbol of new acquaintances, which will receive a good continuation in the future. The ratio with the Major Arcana is very optimal - the good Major Arcana is strengthened by the Six of Swords, and the action of the bad ones smoothes out.
Inverted position
Not all sword suit cards are negative. So, for example, a card of six of swords in an inverted position promises an unexpected improvement in the fortuneteller's financial situation. From an unexpected source of profit, money will appear addressed to the fortuneteller.
Card description 
River, gray sky. The man with the pole directs the boat towards the distant shore. The boat contains six swords placed vertically. In the "Tarot of Aquarius" the same theme is solved in a more original way: a woman is standing on the steps of the castle, looking at the road. She had just escorted a man on a long journey. This card represents a person (or perhaps a whole family) taking an important step. He refuses from a past life, from many habits, connections, occupations and goes to meet the unknown.
Swords in this case symbolize memories of sad events and hopes for a better future. For a brave person who is accustomed to relying on his own strength, it literally means a chance of success: although the business he intends to do is not familiar to him, he has enough strength and determination to succeed.
For a timid, indecisive person, it is unfavorable: the risks and dangers are too great, so his venture is most likely doomed to failure. Inverted, it means that the chance of success is negligible for both the brave and the timid, so this is not worth taking on.
The Seven of Swords is a very controversial card in the deck, since the interpreters of the tarot did not have a consensus about its meaning. Some believe that the Seven of Swords signifies the successful completion of old affairs and promising undertakings that promise success. And also in the description of the character, this card speaks of the purposefulness of a person, his prudence and even practicality. 
A man who looks like a clown tiptoes out of the enemy camp, carrying five swords in an armful. Now there are only two left, stuck in the ground. The man looks around - is there any chase after him? (On the corresponding Aquarius Tarot card, he has already returned to his camp and is resting, wondering if he did everything right?) This is a person who habitually tries to find a way out of a difficult situation with the help of cunning, to avoid conflict. But now, alas, the tried and tested method does not help him well: the "enemies" still have two swords, and even those that he could carry off cut his hands. You can't solve new problems with old methods, says this card.
In a direct position, however, it means that such a person can still be persuaded that he is able to abandon old methods and master new ones. In the inverted position, the chances of this, alas, are few, that is, his plan is doomed to failure.
In relations with the Major Arcana, not everything is smooth either - everything will depend on whose opinion to trust about the meaning of this card in the interpretation of fortune-telling. If we rely on the first opinion, then the Seven of Swords in combination with a card from the Major Arcana should not dramatically change the situation, that is, if a good card falls out from the Major Arcana, it will increase its value. In the case of a bad card, it will smooth it out a little, give hope for a good outcome of the case.
In an extreme case, if the alignment because of the Seven of Swords turned out to be too controversial, then you can guess the same question in a new way, but you should not abuse such things, the cards react negatively when they guess many times with the same question and then may simply stop answering any other questions in the future.
The Eight of Swords, according to the most experienced interpreters of the Tarot, is a symbol of obstacles, difficulties and barriers to the implementation of a certain business or in a relationship with a certain person or circle of people. This can be caused, both by internal doubts and worries of a person, and by external unforeseen circumstances. 
A woman blindfolded, with her hands tied, steps through the puddles: around her are eight swords stuck in the ground. Behind is a fortress. She got out of the fortress, but cannot use the newfound freedom: it seems to her that she is still a prisoner, that dangers lie in wait for her at every step. However, the sky on the map is clear. If you look closely, you can see that the fetters that bind a woman are weak, and she can easily get rid of them - just strain. And there are no swords in her path - they all stand aside.
The Aquarius Tarot card of Eight of Swords depicts a man like Laocoon struggling with a snake entangling him. You don't need to consider yourself weak and helpless, says this card. The dangers you expect are not all that great. Perhaps they are not at all. Throw off the shackles, feel free and boldly go forward!
In the inverted form, the Eight of Swords, on the contrary, advises against doing anything for now: it is better to wait for a more favorable moment. In the Egyptian Tarot, eight swords are added to the symbol of chaos, reminding that someone in this situation will have to take on the role of the Warrior of the Spirit.
In general terms, the Eight of Swords card speaks of intense anxiety, longing, emotional instability, apprehension and fear. In this case, the situation should be immediately taken under control, otherwise it may even lead to a nervous breakdown.
If they are guessing in order to find out the outcome of a situation, then the Eight of Swords warns that the chosen tactics to achieve this goal is completely wrong and the person is moving in the wrong direction, since the Eight of Swords is a Symbol of instability.
In characterizing the qualities of a person, this card gives a very interesting description, namely, such character traits as the power of reason over emotions, the ability to control anxiety and fears, and willpower are inherent in a person.
Reversed value
From unexpected accidents tied to the life of a fortuneteller or his loved ones, a card of eight of swords in an inverted position can warn. Also, this card in this position indicates various kinds of disasters or proceedings that can reach extreme measures.
The Nine of Swords carries a strong negative meaning, and, in any case, no matter what cards fall nearby. The negative nature of the Nine of Swords is that it is an indicator of fear, anxiety, severe emotional exhaustion. Perhaps a person is gnawing at a strong feeling of guilt or remorse, and they do not torment us, as you know, without a good reason for that, and this is already a constant negative factor.
If the purpose of fortune-telling is to find out information about a certain situation and if the Nine of Swords falls out, then this suggests that some very strong external circumstances that cannot be influenced are acting on the fortuneteller in this situation. Therefore, it would be best to take a wait and see attitude until better times. Otherwise, all the efforts spent on combating these unknown circumstances will be completely wasted. 
A woman is sitting in bed, covering her face with her hands. In the dark space behind her, nine swords hover in the air. Life has become a nightmare, this card says. The whole world is going downhill. Your fears and worries are absolutely enormous. In the "Tarot of Aquarius" (and some other decks), this card depicts a man instead of a woman. But this nightmare only seems to him (or her): none of the swords touches the figure shown on the map.
Your fears and worries are understandable, says the Nine of Swords, but they do not directly affect you. You think too much about problems that are not directly related to you. In the meantime, you also have cases that require attention.
Don't worry, this card says, don't worry about "world problems", whatever they may be: get on with the day to day and your condition will stabilize. The Nine of Swords is similar to the Ten of Swords in that it heralds the near end of the "black bar". However, the Nine indicates bad mood and pessimism as “leftovers” from past or even imaginary problems, rather than the problems themselves.
In the inverted position, the Nine of Swords means that the "black stripe" does not end as soon as we would like, but it will not be long anyway. In the "Egyptian Tarot" this Nine of Swords, like others, indicates the need for internal and external harmony or a call to it.
The relationship with the Major Arcana is also not particularly encouraging, the Nine of Swords does not at all smooth out or improve the card from the Major Arcana, but can only enhance the negative value in the layout. Therefore, if the Nine of Swords falls out, you should change your tactics or wait for better times.
Reversed value
Various disagreements between people, suspicions and lack of trust can be predicted by a card of nine swords in an inverted position. In relation to the fortuneteller, some kind of treachery may be directed, the consequence of which will be hatred in its pure form.
A special setting will help to change the negative impact of the card.
The Ten of Swords, alas, is no better than its predecessor, tk. it does not bode well, but suggests that a person is in an extremely hopeless and crisis situation. And in order to get out of this difficult situation, it will be necessary to make a lot of effort and willpower. However, here, too, one should not forget that a lot is in our hands, it's just that this card is a warning, which in no case should be ignored. 
The man lies face down on the river bank, ten swords stuck in his back, resembling grave crosses. The sky is black, but it is already getting light beyond the river - a new day is approaching. In the Aquarian Tarot, this card depicts a horseman desperately throwing himself directly at the swords facing him.
