Reverse
Lack of energy / creative blocks / delays / creative blocks / disappointing news
The Ace of Swords, in reverse, represents setbacks and delays. You may have received disappointing news or frustration and a creative block in your life. You’re seeking your lost motivation, but before you jump in to take action, slow your pace and wait for the right opportunity. Things seem dull in your life as you’ve lost that spark and passion that made the world colorful and meaningful. You need to take back control and rediscover what makes you tick. Prioritize and listen to your heart. It may appear that you’re moving slowly and there’s a lack of progress, but don’t be discouraged to try something new outside your comfort zone.
With the Ace of Wands in reverse, life seems unpredictable and boring, so jump in and say yes to anything daring, bold, or out of the ordinary.
Do I follow the spark in my heart?
How can I be more bold and daring?
