Day 122
 
Christmas! Oh I'm already tired by the visits to my family, and they didn't end yet...
 
 Swords are cards of intellect, communication and reason. Aces are cards of the essence, often symbolising the core theme of the whole suit.
 
Thus Ace of Swords signifies clarity, innovation, breakthrough in intellectual pursuits. Victory and success coming from sharp mind and sharp tongue. It's never enough to just have a good idea, you need to be able to communicate it to others.

With such a wide meaning range it's hard to say what this card means without context, but context can give it a lot of meaning. In reverse it can both mean that you lack the quality it symbolises or misuse it.

So, to digest the meanings:

If Ace of Swords is a question, it's "Are you smart and communicative?"
If Ace of Swords is a problem, it's miscommunication, misinformation, clever tricks or lack of intellect.
If Ace of Swords is a solution, it's wit, communication, intellectual prowess.
If Ace of Swords is a trait, it's communicative and intellectual.
If Ace of Swords is an advice, it's "Learn the truth, think smart"
