Day Four: Ace of Swords


My Inference:

The Sun shines through a break in the clouds. A crown encircling a sword emanates rays. I suppose the sword could mean action, perhaps conflict. In this context, action brings triumph.

Ziegler:

On the handle is engraved the Greek word for clarity. "That which is created in clarity will carry this quality visibly and pass it on." Ziegler asks, what supports or hinders your clarity?

Rider-Waite:

Triumph of force. Actions speak louder than words. Press an advantage to complete a goal.

Combined Reading:

Ziegler instructs us to trust our clear perceptions, whereas Waite prophecies success through sheer action. Combined, I read from this card an urging to convert fresh ideas, those clearest in our heads, into actions that bring us closer to our prioritized objectives.
