Today’s Community Tarot Card is the Ace of Swords. Take control of your (s)words – the ones you say to yourself and the ones you say to others. Your words and thoughts are one of the few things you truly control in life, so be aware of your (s)words today.

About the image: The Ace of Swords from the Tarot of the Little Prince. A fox standing on green grass rests their face against the hilt of an unsheathed sword. The sword points up warts, it’s jewelled pommel resting on the ground. A golden crown dotted with red jewels encircles it’s point.

Each Tarot card offers us a Gift, Invitation, and Challenge. Before you read on, decide if you want to know which one the Ace of Swords has for you today. Please let us know in the comments what your choice was and how the answer applies to you.
 
GIFT
You are offered the Gift of clear thinking and the ability to perceive the situation's source. You can rise above the details and see the bigger picture. 
 
INVITATION
 
You are invited to use your intellect and logic to deal with the situation instead of your feelings. It's time to start developing a plan and strategy. 
 
CHALLENGE
 
Being ruthlessly honest with yourself is the key to resolving the issue at hand. There is no room for self-indulgence, self-pity or excuses. You may be letting your heart rule your head, and that is the precisely wrong thing to do right now. 
(Hint: the Gift is the grace that is already given us to overcome the Challenge, so if you chose the Challenge, also see the Gift.)

Each Tarot card offers us a Gift, Invitation and Challenge. (Hint: the Gift is the grace already given us to overcome the Challenge.) Before you read on, decide if you want to know which one the Ace of Cups has for you toay.

Gift

The Gift of the Ace of Cups is that you are already open and ready to receive. Your Cup is ready to be filled, and you are free to embrace all possibilities.

Invitation

The Ace of Cups invites you to let down your walls and open your heart. You are invited to begin a new emotional journey leading to love, friendship or emotional healing.

Challenge

Open your heart. Yes, you will make yourself vulnerable and open to being hurt. Shutting down on an emotional level is a way to avoid pain, but the better alternative is to grow healthy boundaries and to work on self-acceptance and love.

​Take control of your (s)words – the ones you say to yourself and the ones you say to others. Your words and thoughts are one of the few things you truly control in life, so when this card appears in a reading, it's a message to have discipline in those areas.

​Every tree was once a seed waiting to be nurtured and brought into being. The Ace of Cups represents the seed of love and connection. Not always romantic love because not everyone is looking for romantic love. It can also be the love and bond between friends and comrades. It represents the potential for emotional fulfilment, but being a tiny seed and the beginning of the journey of this suite, we don't yet know if that potential will be realised.
