Pain and heartbreak are the themes of the 3 of Swords Tarot card. Something has gone wrong, and it feels like you are being pierced in the heart, over and over again. This Tarot card can symbolize a third party in love, or it could mean pain from your past that you need to heal to love fully again. You don’t have to hold in.

Symbolism
The 3 of Swords Tarot card is rarely a welcome card, but when you see it arrive, then know that you are given information that you can use to correct the situation. This card depicts a heart that is pierced by three swords, and the message is clear. Heartbreak is in play in the situation at hand. It could represent past pain that you have not fully healed or resolved, or it could mean heartbreak is on its way. Either way, remember this card is a Minor Arcana card, the pain this card represents will likely not change your life, but for the time being, it does sting. Take steps necessary for personal healing, or begin a path of recovery that will help you to heal and move towards a happy life.
