Ace of Swords

Aces always represent an offering. This one gives us the opportunity to learn something new. There can be a mental challenge in the form of a new job position or going back to school. It could be learning more about our religion, spirituality or psychic development. Just because it is offered does not mean that we have to accept it right now.

This Ace reminds us to be honest and fair in the manner that we accept or reject this offer.

The gold leaves that are floating are also called “Heods”. That is another word for God. That tells us that there is godly protection around the querant as they make their decision.

In reverse: The expected offer may not come. If the offer ismade, be prepared to not be pleased with the outcome. Watch out for mind games and possible deception. Look at the rest of the spread for any cards that can describe the person making the offer. If a physical or personality card does not appear, look for cards that describe the situation.

In reverse, this card could be suggesting that the querant be not prepared for the opportunity, as they would like to think. There are valuable lessons to be learned from being faced with that knowledge and the challenge it presents to the querant.
