Rehael and the 3 of Swords

The 3 of Swords (Saturn in Libra) is a card of heartache and isolation. Saturn is the stern authoritarian and can represent any authority figure in our lives, our own father or the inner stern critic (inner voice of the father). However, Saturn is exalted in Libra which means that this card represents an opportunity for deep heart healing and restoration of harmony in any relationship where there is a question of authority and submission.

The 3 of Swords is, in one sense, the card of the prodigal child who returns to the loving arms of his father after breaking both his/her own heart and the heart of his/her father. But it can also represent a parent who alienates his/her children by the use of excessive disciplinarian measures and cruelty.

If you feel hard done by because your birthday falls under the flag of one of the least popular Minor Arcana cards, bear in mind these words by Rumi: ‘The wound is the place where the Light enters you.’

By engaging fully in your own healing, you become a great light for others who may be struggling. This is especially true if you are afflicted by mental health problems. Your superpower is to completely be able to reprogram negative subconscious thoughts into positive ones. Your other superpower is to heal deeply problematic relationships where most would just give up and walk away.
