Tarot is so funny. It has its own inside jokes with each reading. I asked the cards how I could get over a betrayal (specifically one caused in the last post), and the above cards all came up reversed for me.
Now, I am not one to read reversals per se, but I do recognize that they are all considered to be sort of “bad” cards when put together, but they are also all reversed. So this means, to me, that this difficulty will pass for me. A heartbreak or betrayal (3 Swords) will end (Death) and the truth (Ace of Swords) will be revealed about the sneak (7 Swords). I really do not like the guy pictured on the Seven of Swords. He is a thief and a sneak. He is immoral. He is a con-artist. He lies to get his swords. The mental clarity of the Ace of Swords is being obstructed by the sneaky Seven of Swords. He is such an asshole. But it doesn’t really matter in the long run, because my heartache will end and he will still be an untrustworthy sneak. I’m going to be ok. Especially because…
Look at what happens when I read the cards upside down. I see this as the thief’s fate. The sneaky guy (7 Swords) absolutely (Ace of Swords) gets what coming to him as his former life ends -maybe jail? (Death) and he lives with a broken heart and guilt for the rest of his life (3 Swords). Hmmm… Maybe I am being too hopeful that he gets his karmic return in full, but it sort of looks like he doesn’t end up very happy.
This is why tarot is so funny – it has literally created 2 opposing and connected stories about the same situation as seen from the 2 different people involved. How droll.
