Ace of Swords Tarot Meaning and Interpretation

Ace of Swords Tarot Meaning and Interpretation

As with all aces, The Ace of Swords can indicate a new beginning of some sort in your life, possibly on several fronts. Sometimes this new beginning can be started by a separation of some kind – from a relationship, or from a job situation. Know that as anxiety-producing as such a new beginning can sometimes be, that underneath it all is good, and it is beneficial energy that is getting you where you want to go.

General

In general, the Ace of Swords calls on you not to be afraid to make a leap if it’s in your best interest. In short, bravery is called for. As the old adage says, “Feel the fear and do it anyway.” You already have a good idea of what must be done and even though the hard part is doing it you should start today.

Love

In terms of love, the Ace can mean that you are ready to start something new. So, if you’re currently in a committed relationship, it can indicate that there’s something about this relationship that you will choose to put a stop to. You shouldn’t hesitate to speak your mind. If something in the relationship is hurtful or bad for you, and you lose your partner because you do so you haven’t really lost. Rather, you are being guided toward a relationship that is better for you. Tell the truth and make sure you don’t live a lie.

For those of you not in a relationship the Ace is still about trying something new. What it is telling you is that you should not be looking back at past relationships with a hope of rekindling them. Nor should you be looking at those currently around you. None of them are going to be what you are looking for. You need to be searching in pastures anew.

Money and Finances

When it comes to finances, the Ace of Swords is calling upon you to know when enough is enough. Now is not the time to take chances with money. Don’t invest any money that you couldn’t afford to lose. You may be approached for a loan. As much as it pains you, it may be in your best interests not to lend what you are asked. Quite bluntly, you may not be repaid, and your relationship with your prospective borrower could suffer or even be destroyed as a result. Lend only if you are willing to take this chance.

Work and Career

In the context of work, the Ace can mean that you soon will try a different tactic or may even choose to leave the job that you’re currently in. If you’re committed to staying where you are, you may have some good ideas for new policies or procedures that could make everyone’s life easier at work and improve the bottom line/final product. Don’t hesitate to give voice to those. Another old adage: “It’s amazing what can be done if you don’t care who gets the credit.” You will ultimately get the credit for anything good that you bring to the table. The credit probably won’t be, but then it doesn’t have to be instantaneous.

If you are currently unemployed and looking for a job, you need to start thinking outside the box about where and what you want to do. All your current endeavors have not paid off, so it is now time to look and apply for jobs that you haven’t so far considered.

Health

In terms of health, you may finally find it within yourself to stop some bad habits that you know are bad for you. This can also indicate the converse insomuch that you are finally starting something that is good for you!

Expect some frayed nerves as you’re making this transition. Take good care of yourself, only then will you truly be able to care adequately for others. Physical exercise is particularly important now, but don’t overdo it.

Spirituality

You may finally let go of a belief system which hasn’t worked for you for some time. Don’t beat yourself up if you find you have been holding some viewpoints and beliefs that you shouldn’t have. Everyone makes mistakes or gets hold of the wrong end of the stick from time to time.

You will find some spiritual truths that hold more promise for you and which are beneficial. Don’t hesitate to talk to others about what works for them on a spiritual level.
