Swords are the suit of the mind and intellect. They represent our thoughts, beliefs, and the way we communicate and process information. While they can bring clarity and truth, they can also signify mental challenges, anxiety, and conflict. The Swords teach us to use our minds wisely and to seek truth even when it's difficult.

Swords cards often indicate mental activity, decision-making, or communication issues. They may suggest you need to think clearly, speak truthfully, or face a difficult truth. Multiple Swords in a reading can indicate overthinking, anxiety, or the need for logical analysis rather than emotional reaction.
