So far in these last few Tarot Tips I’ve talked about how people give and receive love in different ways, and how the tarot suit that describes someone can give important insights into how they love. I’ve already covered the Wands and Pentacles people, in Tarot Tips #19 and #20. This Tip will talk about how Swords people give and receive love.
Swords is the most social of all the tarot card suits, but also the most mentally focused. As you can imagine, communication and sharing of hopes, dreams, activities, and basically all of life’s experiences is part of how they give and receive love. But your Swords lover may seem like the most sharing person you’ve ever met until they suddenly and completely shut down, only to reconnect a while later as if they’d never disappeared from the scene. So, what’s up? If you can imagine that they need rest between those intense social interactions, you’d be correct. So, most Swords people are a bit like a water faucet. They are either ‘on’ or ‘off’. If you can handle that and not take it personally you may have the beginnings of a good relationship.
Communication is incredibly important to Swords people. If you want your Swords lover to feel loved, listen to them. Remember things they’ve said and repeat them back. Better still, tell someone else what they said, within their hearing. They will know you love them, because you heard them. Remember too, listening is an art form. You can listen with far more than your ears. Many Swords people have challenges regarding their communication. They may be shy, or slow to form their words or put their emotions into words. With these people your listening is even more important.
What happens when you don’t listen to a Swords person? When you turn your back on them when they are in the middle of a conversation, or rudely interrupt them? Well, from their point of view you are telling them they are not important, so you are withdrawing your love.
It’s important to remember that the intense interpersonal relationships you may create with Swords people are mentally and socially based. When you come on too strongly or too emotionally to a Swords person, you’ll often see them quickly withdraw or even run away. Swords people are sometimes mistaken for Cups people because of their social involvement with family and friends. But there is a big difference. Cups people love the emotional involvement, whereas Swords people love the social activity.
Always remember, that for Swords people, it really is ‘in their mind’. More about Cups people in my next tip!
