That can change your understanding of the card. - If a reading is dominated by swords, that indicates inner turmoil and possibly external conflict. - Intellect by itself can lead to obsessional thinking. We need the other suits/elements as well. > [!Orbit] [[Alyssa Polizzi]] > Many of the swords show the consequence of living in unconscious conditions, of being willfully ignorant, of turning away from the task of coming to consciousness. They also imply paths toward resolution and potentials for reconciliation.
