Ace of Swordsfor Sagittarius
"Clarity isn't the question. What you do next is."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
A hand issues from a cloud, grasping as word, the point of which is encircled by a crown. Swords represents knowledge and thoughts and Aces represent new starts. Together these cards mean a new exciting idea or concept (especially linked to divine inspiration).
A new way of thinking-- or a new key insight into a problem or project. This gives you space to think about it as if it were brand new. This is the brainstorming phase, where no idea is bad and everything is possible. In relation to others, perhaps you understand someone's perspective better and might be able to form a deeper connection through shared communication.
Be careful with divine inspiration, your new ideas and understanding can lead to a possessive energy. Perhaps you are not convincing people in the way you want to or perhaps you are not trying to convince them. Don't let others dim your ideas (be careful with sharing too broadly), but be accepting that others might not see the world as you do.

Ace of Swords for Sagittarius
The Seeker
Sagittarius is a Fire mutable sign ruled by Jupiter, whose natural subject is meaning, travel, belief, the long view, higher study. Swords are the air suit, so the Ace of Swords sits in Libra. Libra sextiles Sagittarius, which is help that has to be taken up rather than help that arrives. What it asks for is this: write the sentence down and stop rewriting it. Sagittarius is perfectly capable of that, which is exactly why not doing it needs a better excuse. Sagittarius is mutable: it adapts, and this is a card about beginning, so the start will be easy and the shape of it will keep changing. Air and Fire feed each other, so this card's logic will feel natural here. Natural is not the same as correct. An ace is a seed rather than a result. Upright it means the thing is genuinely available and completely untested.
