So, I was really curious about what the three of swords as advice really meant. I started by just looking at the card itself. It’s got this picture of three swords piercing a heart, and it just looks kinda sad, you know?
I decided to dig deeper. First, I went through my old tarot books. I flipped through the pages, looking for any mention of the three of swords in the advice section. I was rummaging around like a kid looking for hidden candy. But those books didn’t really give me a clear answer. They were all like, “Oh, it could mean this or that,” which was super frustrating.
Then I thought, “Hey, why not ask some of my tarot – savvy friends?” So I hit them up on social media. I typed out my question, something like, “Yo, what the heck does three of swords as advice mean?” And I waited. Some of them just sent me emojis, like a question mark or a shrug. But a few actually gave me some thoughts. One friend said it might be about facing tough truths, like when you got to tell someone bad news or accept something you don’t wanna accept.
I wasn’t fully convinced, so I decided to do a little experiment. I did a tarot reading for myself, focusing on a problem I was having in my life. I shuffled the cards like a pro, well, at least I tried to look like one. And guess what? The three of swords popped up as advice. I was like, “No way, this is getting real!”

I sat down and thought about my problem. I had been avoiding having a talk with a friend because I knew it was gonna be hard. Maybe the three of swords was telling me to just go for it, to face the pain and get it over with. So I took a deep breath and messaged my friend. We had a long chat, and yeah, it was tough. There were some tears and some awkward silences, but in the end, it felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.
After that experience, I’m starting to think that the three of swords as advice is all about dealing with the hard stuff. It’s like a little nudge from the universe, saying, “Hey, you can’t keep running away. Face it head – on, and you’ll be better off.” And that’s my story of uncovering the secrets of the three of swords as advice.
