Today I chose a card from my Gilded Tarot deck, the Ace of Swords. Typically Swords are representative of intellect and the rational mind....ideas, thoughts, reasoning abilities and how we perceive reality.
The Swords suit in Ciro Marchetti's deck is colored blue and the Cups suit is an orangish-yellow which are opposite in most other decks, blue representing emotions (Cups) and yellow representing the intellect (Swords.)
In this card, we can see clouds in the backgound that tell us this is the element of air associated with the Swords suit. Communication is also part of the Swords interpretation and upright, it can be trying to tell you that you have the gift of thought and you should always use it to speak clearly and with focus in order to create a happy, healthy reality.
The Ace of Swords is also warning about having a cutting tongue and razor sharp wit that can cut others' to shreds and used to hurt as opposed to benefit. I happen to be an Air sign, Aquarius, and I know that it can be very easy not to notice how my language or tone can affect others and I manage to step on a few toes now and then without even being aware of it.
