Ace of Swords Reversed Tarot Meaning and Interpretation
The Ace of Swords reversed, although generally a positive card, warns that you must be very careful with your thinking. When it appears, it is easy to feel that something is positive when in fact it is not. Seek outside input so that you don’t fall victim to this misconception.
General
In general, the reversed Ace of Swords indicates that you need to be careful about illusions. It is very easy to trust people who are untrustworthy, it is very easy to think that “Just this once” a get rich quick scheme might actually work. Be thoughtful and circumspect or you are likely to find that opportunities and events do not go the way you had planned.
Love
In terms of love, the reversed Ace can mean that you may fall hard for someone who might be wildly inappropriate for you. There’s nothing wrong with “Taking a walk on the wild side,” and there is truth that opposites attract. However, if someone tells you that they are not looking for a commitment, or that they are not good at relationships, your rational response should be to believe them. Be cautious!
If you are currently in a relationship, then the Ace of Swords reversed can indicate a need for you to draw some boundaries. Is your partner doing something that bothers you? Have you been putting up with something you find upsetting just for the sake of keeping the peace? Anything along those lines means you should be speaking up and putting a stop to something you find uncomfortable.
Money and Finances
The reversed Ace of Swords calls you to triple check your assumptions about money, especially when it comes to new investments. Even someone you have worked with for years can become desperate and/or make mistakes with regard to your money. Think for yourself and check up on how your nest eggs are doing.
Work and Career
In the context of work, the reversed Ace can mean that you are close to having a major misunderstanding about work. Don’t make any sudden moves, and don’t decide that a job which has been good for you for many years has suddenly gone bad.
If you are looking for work, try to think from the hiring person’s perspective. If you are attempting to change careers, how can you show that you are prepared for this new career? Be practical and realistic now and think things through carefully.
Health
The reversed Ace warns that you may meet some convincing, yet mistaken, alternative health care providers or ideas. Before you undertake a regimen of any type, do your due diligence and find out what it is all about and what others have said who have tried the same approach.
The same can be true of traditional doctors; if you are prescribed medication, it’s important that you know what it is, why you’re taking it, and possibly even check the dosage. Do your best to think as clearly and non-emotionally about your health as you can.
Please note: The health section is for informational purposes only and should not be considered a medical diagnosis – always consult your doctor.
Spirituality
Again, the reversed Ace can show that you are in a mindset that means it is easy to get overly invested in spiritual ideas which in the long run may prove to be of little value to you. Be cautious about forceful people who try to get you involved in new organizations and particularly spiritual organizations which require you to pay to belong.
This is a time when your spirituality can grow through your own efforts: you don’t need a big organization in order to learn and open yourself up more.
