Ace of Swords

The Ace of Swords shows a beaming right hand with a sword that is coming out of a cloud.  At the top of the sword is a crown with two different types of foliage on either side.  The clouds typically represent the unknown or what is not seen - depending on the question clouds could also represent confusion.  The sword itself represents the air, but could also represent force, being aggressive, using logic and reason.  Swords cut through the air and could dispel the cloud - that said, another interpretation could be that the sword represents choices and I would say that is also what the different types of foliage represent.

The background shows mountains, which represent challenges, overcoming obstacles, attainment.  Sometimes we have to dig deep within ourselves to overcome issues and situations - we need to have a "fire in our belly" to do this, sometimes.
