Three of Swords Libra Season Tarotscope (3 Oct – 12 Oct)

What's a Tarotscope?

This tarotscope is a Three of Swords tarot card reading combined with your horoscope for this next phase of Libra season. A tarotscope blends the wisdom of tarot and astrology, offering insights by combining the messages of the stars and the tarot. This way, we can understand what is unfolding in your life and make predictions for the next ten days.

Libra II & The Three of Swords

In astrology, there are 12 zodiac signs, each lasting about a month. Each zodiac sign can be divided into three periods of time, each about 10 days. Each period of 10 days is called a decan

We are currently in the second decan of Libra season, Libra II (3 October – 12 October), which is ruled by the planet Saturn. Plus we have just had a major solar eclipse in Libra on 2 October 2024. This energy puts a strong focus on our relationships and partnerships, especially promises, loyalty and lasting commitment. 

This aligns perfectly with the message of the Three of Swords card. Just as Saturn is exalted in Libra, this card is all about the ties that bind. We must see things how they really are, and make choices and commitments accordingly. If you do so wisely, the blessings can last forever.

If you’re seeing this tarotscope in early October, this is your forecast for the next ten days. But if you’ve stumbled upon this post at another time, don’t worry—this reading is meant for you right now. The Three of Swords has shown up for a reason, guiding you to this moment when you need it most. So, let’s take a look and unpack what this card is all about and what it means for you personally.

Three of Swords Tarot Card Meaning

The Three of Swords tarot card is linked to Binah, the third sphere on the Tree of Life. Binah represents the womb and the waters which give life. As such, threes in tarot represent this creative energy. The threes give shape to things or show that things are taking shape. 

Swords in tarot represent our words, ideas and thoughts. As such, the Three of Swords represents thoughts and ideas taking shape. It could be a dawning realisation, the thing you can’t un-know, an epiphany. You have removed the blindfold you were wearing in the Two of SwordsThere is something that you have no choice but to face: hard-won knowledge, an irreversible realisation, a heartbreak. If you know, you know

Sometimes this comes as a realisation that this is it and there can be no other and you will forsake all others. ❤️ Saturn rules commitments and unbreakable bonds, and combined with the legalities of Libra, the result is a binding contract, promise or a solemn vowSaturn is exalted in Libra, so often if the Three of Swords is well-aspected in a reading, it can signify a marriage or a wedding or a valuable long-term contract that creates wealth, security and easy living. So long you make a wise commitment, the blessings of this card can last forever. 

As such, the Three of Swords also speaks to endings and expirations. When you realise the truth about a situation or someone, you can never go back, only forwards. Sometimes this hurts. Plus, all decisions, commitments, and contracts represent a new beginning, and so naturally lead to the ending of what was. You have to give up something, someone, other options to commit. And, sometimes contracts and promises are not easy to keep or fulfill. 

All this is why the Golden Dawn called this card the Lord of Sorrow.

Your Three of Swords Predictions

Over the next ten days, you may find yourself in a time where you realise the truth about someone or a situation – for better or for worse. The Three of Swords brings clarity as to what is real and as such, what decisions or commitments must be made. The Three of Swords can represents a crisis, where you know you must act.

Perhaps you have had a change of heart and no longer want to do something anymore. That’s okay – sometimes you are just done and something has to change. This card often shows up as a wake up call to make the changes you’ve been afraid to make. The Three of Swords says you get what you put up with, so if you want different, you have to choose different. The point is, make a decision, and you will be freed to move forward.

Sometimes this means loss, heartbreak even. The Three of Swords can also represent all manner of hurt. Hurtful words that cut or even physical pain, like an injury or perhaps surgery. But this might also be the best thing you have ever done for yourself, a commitment not to betray or let yourself down anymore. Maybe it’s time – or even long overdue – to put a stop to toxic patterns in your relationships like people-pleasing, letting people walk all over you, or always putting your needs last.
 
If it’s causing harm, the Three of Swords card shows ending it needs to be done and this is the right time to do it. You deserve better, so leave without regret so you can recover and heal.

On the other hand, if you are happily dating, this card means you might get engaged or wed. Or all going well, you might sign an employment contract, formally receive a promotion, or win a key business contract during this time. This is also a good sign for legal settlements. This is because the Three of Swords represents the ties that bind us. Sometimes these commitments can hurt, because we have to let go of other options to choose one above all others.
 
But is this such a bad thing? According to the Picatrix, this time of Saturn in Libra signifies wealth, good living, security, and peace. All of these good things do often come from wise choices. If you make the right long-term personal and professional commitments, and honour them, life does tend to work out long-term.

The Takeaway

During this time, or if you have drawn the Three of Swords, you will likely realise something very important about a situation or a person. It might be the recognition that the relationship is over, or, on the other hand a realisation that this is it and you have found the one. You may be willing to make a commitment or enter into a long-term contract. It could be that this is time for action, to make a decision that changes everything. This might hurt, but this could also be the best of times, if you choose well. If you would like to read more of the blog, click here.
