1. Speaking your mind
Ace of Swords love means saying what you think.
When this card is drawn in your love reading, it means you feel the need of clarify something through honest conversations. Most of us don’t like to do the confrontation as partially because we’re afraid of finding out something bad. Try telling a man that you want to have a serious talk with him, and you’ll see him running away. Honestly, women are no better in this either.
They will tell their best friend all of their worries for several hours, while their partner has no clue about their problems and insecurities growing inside.
2. Giving you the courage
The tarot card here gives you the courage to say what you think, and it usually helps strengthen your relationship as well.

It can indicate that the misunderstanding of you and your partner is too big causing the inability to talk to each other. If you get the Ace of Swords card, perhaps you two already move on to a new stage of the relationship.

4. Getting wrong
When Ace of Swords love turns wrong?
Overall it will include positive aspects!
Even if it’s about ending a relationship, you will still have the feeling of victory with the presence of this card in the spread. However, Ace of Swords also has a negative side like other cards.
When Ace of Swords is in the reversed position, that’s when the communication between the two of you turns sour, and they tend to use harsh words to you. For readers who don’t interpret its reversed meaning, then its negativity will be pointed out by other cards in the spread. Depending on the Ace of Swords’ position in the reading, it can indicate not really great news or verbal abuse.
In other words, both are really tired of some problems, but Ace of Swords also indicates the strong will of each person. Therefore, both can overcome together if they put enough effort. However, the conflict will become worse if these two are stubborn and don’t listen to anyone else’s opinions but them.
No matter what the situation is, neither feels sorry for what they have treated each other.
Interestingly enough, the Ace of Swords can indicate a bit of pressure being present in the relationship. One of you is being too selfish, conservative and controlling. As a result, the other person is more likely to feel frustrated.
This card as well shows that two people love to argue with each other about many issues in life.
