Supporting / Blocking Tarot Card

support

Prince of Swords poses a question or challenge. This card can be considered blocking due to the Prince’s youth, which increases the likelihood of errors. The basic feeling associated with this card is the belief that the “grass is always greener on the other side.” The Prince, or the querent, is constantly searching for something better elsewhere instead of deepening what they already have.

Representation of the Card in a Reading

In a tarot reading, the deck is divided into three parts: the Major Arcana, the Minor Arcana (which is split into cards numbered Ace to Ten), and the sixteen Court Cards.

The message of the Prince represents the promise of a beginning, but the Prince also embodies inexperience, the difficulty in overcoming problems, and the challenge of creating continuity in a process. He brings with him new insights. The Prince’s typical behavior is characterized by a search for something undefined, a desire to sample a bit of everything, having many friends, instability, and superficiality. The opportunity presented here is the chance to deepen what already exists in order to enable growth and development.
