- Clarity, breakthrough, new idea
- Cutting one thing out to make room for another
In a reading: a clear-headed decision is needed — cut out what’s not serving you.
The Ace of Swords has a palm frond on one side and an olive branch on the other — the palm frond represents sacrifice, the olive branch peace, or even abundance. The sword itself cuts both ways, so this card is often about cutting one thing out of your life so you have room for something else.
There are six golden discs here too, representing perfect balance. And the sword sits above the mountains, which just means obstacles will always exist — but this card is really encouragement to overcome them anyway.
