This card is perfect for the Swati-influenced New Moon. The Ace of Swords represents a breakthrough of mental clarity, a new truth, or a decisive idea that cuts through confusion. It symbolizes the power of the intellect and clear communication. This aligns with Swati’s sharp, discerning energy (the sword) and the New Moon’s potential for new mental paradigms and conversations (Mercury). It signifies a moment of piercing insight that allows you to take courageous, balanced action (Mars in Libra) on your new beginnings.
With a clear mind and a courageous heart, cut away the old and speak your new truth into being.Β π
