Three of Swords in Love, Work & Self

In love

Heartbreak, plainly. Name the grief instead of managing it — felt all the way through, it can finish.

At work

A painful truth or setback that cuts. It hurts because it's real; let it, then tend the wound.

In yourself

You're not being punished, you're being honest. The sorrow is the door, not the sentence.
