hmmm ... Healing Your Broken Heart

so well timed ...

Hi G***

Now is the time for acknowledging the disappointments you've encountered and the heartaches you've endured in order to heal your tender heart.

The Three of Swords is linked with feelings of sadness, loneliness, suffering and pain. While we all experience these things at different stages in our lives, how we respond to them -- and how willing we are to work through them -- will go a long way toward determining our ability to move on.

The Three of Swords is associated with emotional disharmony, heartache and separation. And you could be dealing with the fallout now from this very thing. But keep in mind that disharmony is usually rooted in misunderstanding, or at the very least a mis-assumption about your role in someone's life.

It's that knife in the heart feeling of being hurt, betrayed or even seething in anger over an emotional situation that you have little control over. This may refer to a literal breakup or the loss of a friendship, or it can be that eye-opening moment when you realize that what (or whom) you've wanted so badly just doesn't want you back.

You may be forced to face a painful reality, one that tells you that something (or someone) has been lost and cannot be regained. It can also refer to unrequited love, the loss of a friendship, or the realization that something you'd hoped for is just not going to pan out.

The Three of Swords can refer to deep psychic wounds that are cut open by circumstances beyond your control. Usually a rejection or heartbreak that even if you saw it coming you felt powerless to stop. It's not an easy card, nor is the experience it refers to something that anyone looks forward to going through. But it's a necessary experience, in the sense that it's the culmination of a loss that's been building for some time.

Whatever loss you're dealing with now, try to see it for what it was and be grateful that it's over. As real as the pain and the heartbreak that caused it may be, putting it to rest will be the only way for you to heal and move on.

If you can relate to this card as a breakup or friendship ending, chances are good it's something you've seen coming for awhile. That doesn't lessen the sting, but it helps to know you weren't completely blind-sided.

You may be hurting to the core of your very being — but know that the Three of Swords not only encourages you to take better care of your heart in the future but to recognize those feelings as powerful incentives to make other changes in your life.

The Three of Swords doesn't have to mean an ending. But it does refer to a lancing and releasing of whatever needs to be released. If there is something (or someone) you've been struggling to let go of, now is the time to make the effort to do so. It's the severing of all that's been holding you back that will permit you to finally start moving forward again.
