When the Ace of Swords appears to me I know that a far reaching decision is looming, a decision that will require to be made quickly & accurately. When the aces appear the purest form of energy relating to the element of the suit is present so if I draw the Ace of Swords I know that purity of thought is what is required. It is a hugely powerful card with great significance & can turn any dilemma on it’s head. When the Ace appears I get ready to act fast & trust my gut instincts or many opportunities will be lost. The aftermath of the swing of the sword is peaceful, I know that regret or nostalgia do not apply when I draw this card. The message to me is act now, move forward & don’t look back. This card is the embodiment of the Power of thought, whatever you can imagine can be realised if you release your ego.
