ACE of SWORDS

[upright]

case.1

This is the beginning of the trial. A challenge to end suffering, not the beginning of suffering. It's about facing the problem head-on. With the merciless blade of truth that cuts away all unnecessary things. No need for vague deception. Refine the light that penetrates only what is true and what is right.

[reversed]

case.1

It's wrong. You can't solve it that way. There seems to be confusion about what is right, what you want to correct, and what the truth is. If you blindly wave the sword of justice, you will receive meaningless wounds. What do you want to achieve by wielding that sword?

case.1

Things are at a standstill and tense. At first glance, it seems that the problem has been resolved, but... Don't you think that if you just control yourself, it will be fine? As long as there is something in you that you are suppressing, fundamental change will never come. Is it okay for you to stay like this?

[reversed]

case.1

The situation will be shaken. The balance that you have fought so hard to protect by suppressing yourself is about to be disrupted. Please respond calmly. Even if it's hard to accept now, you'll come to understand that it's a change you need. It's time to express your emotions and be honest.

case.1

Your heart is in a very rough state. You are deeply hurt by the sudden breakup, betrayal, and disappointment. Overwhelmed by pain, sadness, and suffering, you can't find a way out. Life is hard. There is pain that you just have to accept.

[reversed]

case.1

A grief-stricken, disturbed heart. There is unavoidable pain in life. Even if you know it or are prepared for it, what hurts still hurts. Let's cry, just cry. Someday, the moment will come when you can calm down.

case.1

Get some rest now. Get in shape and calmly unify your mind. In silence and peace, listen to your inner voice and check your true resolve. Important tests lie ahead. Make good use of the brief break you've been given to prepare.

[reversed]

case.1

Now, let's leave. The time for rest is over, and the trial begins again. Did you charge enough energy? By stepping away from the situation for a moment, you should have been able to take a closer look at yourself. It's time to cool down and approach the situation with a calm mind.

5 of SWORDS

[upright]

case.1

You're rough. Maybe there's a feeling lurking in your heart that as long as you're happy, the rest doesn't matter. Even though you should be able to clearly see your surroundings and know what you're doing, you seem to be acting complacent. Malice will return to you as malice.

[reversed]

case.1

Do you feel like you are a victim of someone's evil intentions? Things are rough and you are thrown around and in tatters. You're exhausted from the terrible situation. Try your best not to get caught up in it. If you respond to malice with malice, you will only end up getting hurt more.

6 of SWORDS

[upright]

case.1

Evacuate. There is no need to force yourself to stay in a difficult place. You can change your environment yourself and start a new life. Leave the painful memories behind and regain a peaceful mind. It's time to get out of the chaos and start seeing hope again.

[reversed]

case.1

You can't get out of depression. Although you may be eager to move on to new surroundings, you don't seem to have the energy to make any real changes. It looks like it will still take some time for the current situation to end. Still, the big crisis has already passed. Even if you are feeling empty, you are slowly beginning the healing process.

7 of SWORDS

[upright]

case.1

Maybe you should try it without thinking too much. Even things you thought were impossible may turn out to be possible. Even something like that might be of some use. Since you came up with this idea, why not give it a try and let the results decide whether it's good or not? It doesn't seem like it will be that bad.

[reversed]

case.1

Is that plan okay? It seems like you're getting carried away and motivated, but if you really want to get results, you should think about it a little more seriously. It's okay to try with just momentum, but it seems like a waste to end up with nothing.

8 of SWORDS

[upright]

case.1

There is no escape. You are cornered and stop thinking. Feeling confused and helpless, you don't know what to do. You're about to give up. Do you feel sorry for yourself and decide to commit yourself to tragedy? Do you try to resist as much as you can, whether it's crying or screaming, and believe in your potential? The power to decide this is still in your hands.

[reversed]

case.1

Don't give up, you will find a way out. If you let go of one thought, "I can't do it," you will see a light. You should be starting to realize that you are in this state because of your own choices, not because of anyone else or fate, and that you yourself hold the key to breaking out of your current situation. Old self-imposed limitations are interfering with your freedom.

9 of SWORDS

[upright]

case.1

Painful. You are overwhelmed with anxiety and fear and feel like your heart is about to collapse. It feels as if everything is closed in darkness. All you can do is blame yourself, wondering why, why, what went wrong, what you should have done, what you should do next, feeling guilty and frustrated. Hope you can forgive yourself after crying so hard.

[reversed]

case.1

Sleepless nights, sad nights, anxious nights, painful nights. During those nights, you desperately grab the key. You realize that fear is something you create. You realize that what scares you is a delusion without substance. There are nights when you cry because you are trapped by the darkness that rises from within, but as long as you believe that a peaceful morning will come, you will be fine.

[upright]

case.1

It's over. Nothing more, the worst of the worst, the lowest of the lows. It hurts, it hurts, it hurts. Full of scars and tattered. You can't stand up again. It's too bad to say anything. But there's no need to be afraid anymore. There's no worse situation than this.

[reversed]

case.1

Night began to fall. It's still dark, but the darkest hours are now past. You may be in a daze after a harsh experience. Don't worry, all you have to do is wait for it to get brighter. It is the beginning of a new cycle.

[upright]

case.1

Intelligent and smart, nimble and frank. Now is the time to look at the situation wisely and with ease. Is something happening or something will happen? Rather than being at the center of things, you are like a wind blowing up dust. You quickly swing your sword and cut into the situation, pointing out where the problem lies. Such an opportunity has arrived.

[reversed]

case.1

Bad news reaches your ears. Nosy and unpleasant things that you don't want to hear or know. Something that makes you feel anxious and unable to calm down. Is that story complete nonsense? Or is it too frank a fact? Can you fairly judge the truth deep within your disturbed heart?

KNIGHT of SWORDS

[upright]

case.1

Sharp, forceful, relentless, you dive into the problem and slash. Insightful, frank and accurate points. Confident and certain. Now you can move things forward. You will be able to clearly analyze confusing situations and lead to solutions to difficult problems without being afraid of negative elements. Just be careful not to be too ruthless.

[reversed]

case.1

Are you running out of control? You swing your sword wildly, slashing everything you see. Discarding things that get in the way as unnecessary, and using arbitrary logic to disturb the surroundings. You certainly have the power. Don't you think that that power, your influence, could work more effectively if you adopted a slightly different expression?

QUEEN of SWORDS

[upright]

case.1

Accept things as they are. Accept everything as it is, without judging whether it is good or bad. Face the truth honestly without hiding or misleading anything. Be true to every experience. You need to learn the strength to discern the truth hidden in the reality in front of you.

[reversed]

case.1

The reality is hard. The hurt, the brokenness, and the harshness of life make you want to turn your back on life. Your heart is cold, closed, and lonely. It's a sad experience, and it must be very painful for you, but hope that someday you will find the meaning of it. Hope the time will come when you will discover the true nature of your life. Hope you will be able to forgive yourself as you are.

KING of SWORDS

[upright]

case.1

Even if it is harsh, seeking the truth is the royal road. The best path is honesty and integrity. Learn how to judge things according to the principles of the universe. It requires unwavering intelligence.

[reversed]

case.1

Wisdom is clouded. You may make a wrong decision due to a wrong understanding. Is your way of thinking biased? Maybe you're so fixated on your own ideas that you're missing something? If you think that you are being fair, that may just be your belief. Re-examine objectively with the help of others.
