The card shows a glowing white hand emerging from a swirling grey cloud. The hand holds aloft a double-edged silver sword. The tip of the sword is bedecked in greenery and a solid gold crown with red jewels. On each side of the crossguard are three yellow yods, representing blessings.

• Hostility/Destructive Argument
Here are my Ace Swords interpretations for the three most common tarot questions/situations - work, love and health.
1) WORK/MONEY You are powerful, decisive and focused. You cannot lose. Any decisions you make right now will be appropriate, well thought out and lead to success. This is an excellent card for business, investment or forward planning. Unencumbered by emotion, you can cut straight to the heart of the matter and come out on top.
2) LOVE/RELATIONSHIP Powerful, decisive, focused and on the right track. With the Ace of Swords on your side, you know exactly what you want and exactly how to get it. You’re not in the mood for games – you mean business. If you’re after a new relationship, get clear on what you want. If you want to end a relationship, do it now and if you want to live happily ever after, propose!
3) HEALTH/WELLBEING Your razor-sharp mind is decisive, focused and on the right track. You know exactly what you need to do and be to feel your best and are prepared to take action to make this happen. If you’ve been stuck in a rut with health, the Ace of Swords will bring a fresh mindset and old problems will melt away!
