This card I see a lot, too. Two swords being bent by a third. Interference. Dark, stormy emotions. Intense pain.
It’s the threesome card–two in a relationship, one on the side, all connections very very intense. In other words, the “affair” card. But it’s more complex than that. Because love and human relationships is very complex. Sometimes it can mean that someone is unhappy in their current relationship and has strong, secret feelings for someone else, not necessarily acted upon. But depending on the impressions and feelings I get along with this card for the particular person I’m reading for, it almost always comes down to one of two questions: “Were you cheated on?” “You’re in love with someone else, aren’t you?” This is one card I can specifically pick up a lot of energy and impressions on pretty easily. Because if it comes up, the pain is usually pretty great and pressing within that person in regards to a certain love situation.
