In my last post, I discussed my linking by numbers method, for easy learning of the tarot's minor arcana and the first ten cards of the major house. In this chapter, I will show you how you can apply the linking technique to the suit of swords.
If you haven't done already, you will need to read part I of this tutorial.
Swords
A note: The suit of Swords are my favourite cards in the whole of the tarot. They are a very complex set, dealing with the negative aspects in life, and how we cope with them. The suit of Swords, shows us the harsh reality, and flips over the meanings in the numerical system, and can represent delays. For example, the number eight symbolizes strength, advancement and moving forward, Sword VIII however, tells us that the those advancements are being prevented right now, because we are trapped in the problems that seem to slipping out of our control.

1. New beginnings - New strength to deal with strife or health issues. Current problems ending, new ones beginning.

4. Authority, organisation and evaluation (father) - Time to evaluate things and rest.
5. Traditional ways of solving conflict - Upsetting the balance. Remember, traditional ways fix it better. Do not make it worse, move on and learn from it.

6. Choices - Making positive choices and moving away from a negative situation.
7. Taking control - A need to take control! You are following a bad path and may be deceiving people. You are being a negative person and wallowing in self pitty. You need to take hold of the reins. Alternatively, someone could be using you, and you are letting it happen, only you can stop this.
8. Advancement, moving forward - Problems are coming in thick and fast, you have got yourself tangled in a web. You can see the way out, but prefer to stay where you are, because it has become comfortable. A delay.
9. Inner wisdom, happy with one's own situation, making the most of it - Feeling alone, isolation. Not happy with the situation and not making the most of it, instead you are worrying. Woe and misery.
10. Changes, cycles, closure - All the problems have come crashing down but the storm has passed and now the only way is up. Changes are coming, and you can climb out of rock bottom.
