“Try to use the power of this card to look at the world from a different point of view.

Use the sword to cut through any illusions you may be holding on to.

You are about to make a breakthrough my friend.”


Swords are associated with the element of AIR. They cut through our illusions and require us to make rational and logical decisions.


The Ace of Sword card shows an outstretched hand holding a beautiful sword by the blade. At the tip of the sword is a crown. Laurel leaves are pouring out the sides of the crown forming an arch. The sword appears to be floating over a varied setting of mountains and clouds.


This card is telling us to use our minds to navigate instead of just rambling down the same path we usually take. The crown at the top of the sword is telling us that we have the authority to make our own decisions. The laurel leaves are a symbol of peace, so approach your day peacefully.


As the ACE represents a new start or opportunity, keep your eyes open to see what shows up today.

This sword in particular is warning us to be careful. The outstretched hand is holding the sword by the blade and not the handle. Swords are associated with power and conflict, but they could cut both ways. Don’t grip too tight, otherwise you could cut yourself. So don’t charge ahead, take a step at a time.


Bottom line: Today is a great day to work on your goals. Have one? Then get down to it. Try to use the power of this card to look at the world from a different point of view. Use the sword to cut through any illusions you may be holding on to. You are about to make a breakthrough my friend.
