3 of Swords

Introduction

This card is for Friday, March 26, 2010. Still catching up...


My Intuitive Interpretation

The 3 of Swords looks pretty bad, doesn't it?  It's not the most horrible card, but it does point to serious problems and issues which must be addressed -- problems that are usually related to affairs of the heart (though not always -- the swords relate to conflict, logic, thought).  Without addressing the problems, they will only doom the relationship.

My Interpretation for Today


Yes, I know very well what this is about.  I have been involved in an often exasperating personal relationship. There are serious issues, but we can't seem to get it together nor stay apart.  There is definitely a communication problem and I don't know how to fix it.  He brings out the very worst in me like no one ever has.  On this particular day, after a horrible exchange days before, we spoke...not quite as if nothing had happened, but as if we knew it was futile to try not to.  We have unfinished business of a karmic nature.  As the more rational one, I've got to figure out a way to work out our communication problems, if only for my own sanity.
