Suit of Swords Tarot Card Meanings

The suit of Swords is the suit of air: thought, truth, communication, and conflict. Its cards follow the mind from a flash of clarity through doubt, argument, and difficulty to a hard-won peace, and they tend to show up when a reading is about decisions, honesty, or what you tell yourself.
