Ace of Swords
The Ace of Swords shows a hand emerging from a cloud, gripping a double-edged sword topped with a crown. This is the card of pure intellect, truth, and clarity.
It represents a breakthrough—a sudden realization that cuts through confusion like a knife. It’s the "Eureka!" moment. But truth can be sharp. It cuts both ways.
It signifies a new idea, a new perspective, or a new way of communicating. It’s time to use your mind. Be sharp. Be clear. Cut the fluff.
