Hi!
I'm new at Tarot (just got into it about 3 months ago). I do a daily 3-card draw using a spread someone gave in a forum: 1=Theme of the Day 2=Underlying Influences 3=Advice from Above.
Well, every once in a while I get an "Advice from Above" card that just doesn't make sense. Like today, I drew the 3 of Swords. I don't know what to make of this.
Usually the Advice from Above card makes sense. Like if you get Strength, or the 8 of Pentacles, or the Queen of Pentacles (all ones I've gotten recently), it makes sense. You need to emulate these qualities or take these actions.
But if it's a "negative" card, or a card that indicates outside forces acting on you (e.g., The Tower), how are you supposed to interpret it? To me the 3 of Swords represents Sorrow. I stared at it, trying to get some intuitive meaning from it, but I got nothin'.
(The "Theme" card was 5 Wands and the "Underlying Influences" card was The Empress, in case anyone's interested in the context.)
Thanks for any help or guidance on this!
