Ace of Swords

You are a single point of light in the darkness of the hours before dawn, a fluorescent fish in a dead ocean. The Aces bring the energy of the Magician, an initiator of consequences. Through your independence and initiative events move forward.

Without a map, direction is worthless; look to the cards for direction.

Upright

• Clarity
• Power
• Justice

A hurricane roars through the open windows of your mind; your thoughts, like loose papers, whirl in its grasp. Do not worry, for this radical change will bring clarity, and you will find yourself lively with new answers to old questions. Be wary of the power of the Ace of Swords, however, lest you lose what comfort there may be in the familiar.

Justice may become a powerful influence on your journey, as forgotten actions return in triples. The seeds you once planted are beginning to sprout. Only if you have lived a life without blame should you ignore this possibility.

Inverted

• Tension
• Quarrel
• Imbalance

You are a small boat on a storm-tossed sea, buffeted hither and yon by inscrutable winds. Schemes are demolished, hopes are dashed, your days are riven with misunderstandings.

This may be a time of quarrel. Take comfort from the power of passionate dispute; once the storm is over, the air will be clear, negative influences removed from your orbit. But be wary of an instinct for tyranny in yourself or others. Being the storm is not always helpful.
