Angel Paths for July 21 - Ace of Swords
msesheta
The Ace of Swords
As a Suit, Swords are about thought,
communication, and, sadly, often also about
conflict and emotional turmoil. People often
become confused about why that should be - this
Suit contains more 'bad' cards than any of the
others. But when you consider that one thing
which inevitably happens when we are hurt and
unhappy is that objectivity and clarity go out
of the window, you might be able to understand
why so many harsh cards turn up here.
Aces are always about the beginning of something
- usually related to the Suit they are from.
From that you can see that the Ace of Swords is
about the ability to see things from a clear
perspective. When this card rules, we are able
to cut away the rubbish and confusion which
tends to cloud out major issues. We can see what
is important and worth fighting for. And we can
also identify the red herrings that keep us from
seeing clearly.
This Ace brings clarity of vision, freedom from
confusion, and clears obstacles and difficulties
out of the way. It is a sweeping whirling energy
- like a breath of fresh air. It blows away the
cobwebs, washes away the red herrings, and
generally allows us to see straight through to
the core of any situation which requires our
attention.
Often when this card has influence, we will find
ourselves able to make decisions which have
confounded us before, often as a result of
receiving new information or being able to
remove distractions and mystifications.
Every now and again, the Ace of Swords will come
up as the Sword of Justice.....the self-same one
we see held by the figure on the Adjustment
card. When you find yourself in this situation,
be very careful about the judgements you make.
To be just requires that you are totally
balanced, and centred within yourself. This is
the only way that you are able to make choices
based on the actual issues at hand, without
being swayed or influenced by irrelevancies.
On a day ruled by the Ace of Swords, expect to
cut to the central core of any situation. Your
senses will be acute and analytical. And you
will find it easy to shift perspective where
necessary. You can get through a lot today!!
Affirmation: I see clearly to the far horizon.

the Ace of Swords is about the ability to

this card rules, we are able to cut away
the rubbish and confusion which tends to
cloud out major issues. We can see what is
important and worth fighting for. And we
can also identify the red herrings that
keep us from seeing clearly.
We become more able to make good
decisions, more ready to see other points
of view, more clear about what we really
think about things. When this happens we
often choose totally new directions for
ourselves, reaching a point where we can
transform and empower our experiences.
So when this card comes up in a reading,
or to rule a day, then it means that we
need to step back, and think rationally
about everything which crosses our path.
We need to cut away rubbish and clutter,
so we can see the inner truth we seek.
There is a decisive and powerful energy
which flows from this card, and engaging
with it will allow us to understand
ourselves, and others more thoroughly than
before.
In a spiritual sense the appearance of the
Ace of Swords will often mark a turning
point or breakthrough into new clarity and
wisdom.
