Three of Swords, Reversed

The Three of Swords shows us a heart, pierced by Swords in a rain storm, which typically represents brokenheartedness, relationship issues, or even a relationship that might have ended because of any number of reasons.  The clouds could mean that perhaps all of the factors are not known.  Perhaps we're trying to shelter ourselves from the rain rather than attempting to understand why things occurred as they did.

However the reverse position could indicate that the burden of that broken relationship is subsiding or coming to an end - as time passes, the reality of the situation many times can become easier to bear.  Recovering from an ended relationship isn't easy - it's not like a cold that you get over it in two weeks.  There's absence in our own mental, physical, and spiritual plains.

We should allow ourselves to go through a grieving process, the key though is not to stay there.  After a certain amount of time, which can be different for everyone, we should take steps to begin to move on as brighter days are sure to come your way.
