Ace of Swords
strength, conflict, decision
A single straight sword, long and sharp, runs down the card from top to bottom. In the Spanish deck this is a card of strength and clashes. It announces a fight, an argument or a decision you can't put off any longer. It's also the courage to stand up for what's yours. What's coming won't be comfortable, but you can come out ahead if you keep your nerve.
In love
Tension and harsh words, or a conversation you've been avoiding that finally happens. If you're single, don't settle for less than you deserve, even if it means waiting a little longer.
Career and money
Competition, a demanding boss or a power struggle you need to win. Back up your ideas with facts and don't let anyone walk all over you. With money, decide quickly and without wavering.
Health
You have strength, but also a lot of built-up tension. Watch your jaw, your neck and those headaches. It can point to a procedure or a treatment that cuts the problem off.
Reversed
Strength used the wrong way, aggression, fights that go nowhere, or a decision made in the heat of the moment.
As a person
Someone with a strong personality, direct and hard to win over. They can be a valuable ally or your main rival, depending on how you approach them.
