During a reading, if the suit of Swords appears, including it can be associated with a challenge; an argument or a heartbreak, or a forceful person, perhaps. Maybe you are in conflict with a truth, stuck in your own rigidity, or in the midst of a legal battle. Whatever your situation, the Swords will teach you valuable lessons.
If it appears in reverse, we could be stuck in a rut or in the decision making process. Perhaps we are hiding something important, like a secret relationship. Remember, communication is key here.
