The Blade

The Blade

Here's one interpretation.

The Blade stands for mental, physical, and spiritual insight. It calls upon the might of heaven by pointing upwards. It anchors the power of the heavens on Gaia, our Earth, when pointed towards the ground. The blade may be both a weapon and a tool for healing. It can bestow power, cut toxic connections, and release energy from the past.If used with anger, it can cause slashing, stabbing, or lethal harm.

When this card appears, here are a few actions you might consider.

You're called to pull out your blade and make use of it. Get over your fear of injuring others. Remove and apply the blade. Seize this opportunity as the universe aligns to support your power. Delaying, wasting time on trivial talk, or avoiding the inevitable may be unfavorable.

If this card appears upside down or reversed, and you choose to include its position as part of your reading, here's what it could mean.

It's time to lay down the sword and sheath it. Don't use your sword to express poisonous feelings! You will have an even worse future than the people or circumstances you try to hurt. Wait until your inner fire has subsided before using the blade. Cut the cords holding you to current drama by using your blade with perfect intention and thoughtfulness. Release yourself!
