Four of Swords Tarot Card Meanings
This is a time when you need to rest and recover. You’ve been through a ‘war’ – a time of stress, difficulty, conflict, or illness and now you can’t go any further. You need to slow down and take it easy. It’s time to take a break. This recovery time is usually short. You’ve still got the weapons you need to fight another day, but you’ve laid them aside for now.
Three of Swords Tarot Card Meanings
The Three of Swords is a striking image that reveals its meanings at first glance. This is sorrow, heartbreak, loss, strife, and separation. When you’re in the middle of a Three of Swords situation, your heart is breaking. This is the pain of grief and sorrow. Experience tells us that these feelings won’t last forever, but that can be hard to believe when we’re going through a Three of Swords experience.
Two of Swords Tarot Card Meanings
The Two of Swords appears when you’re faced with a difficult choice. There’s no right or wrong option; both are equal in their pros and cons.

Neither option seems very appealing to you, which of course is one of the reasons it’s so hard to choose between the two, but both are equally weighted. You won’t regret whatever decision you come to.
