Before you become all upset at the sight of this card, following the Death card yesterday, consider the current energies with which you are dealing. You are poised to begin to make positive differences in your life, and you are doing so in a retrograde-free zone, with support from the cosmos to do so. Life has certainly been full of betrayals, but now you can begin to separate yourself from them, allowing yourself to begin to heal and to repair a particular area of life which has been increasingly difficult for so long. Whether you need to simply rip off the bandaid to make it happen, or put forth a major effort, before long you will be celebrating the fruits of your efforts.

The 3 of Swords is feared, but unnecessarily so. It is known as a card of heartache and betrayal, separation and release. The storm clouds of life are wanting to clear, and if you think of this card as being akin to Velcro, that separation could be a noisy one, but so worth the time. For earliest possible access to my Tarot Card of the Day, download the free PodBean app from your AppStore, or follow me across your favorite podcast platforms.
