"Heartbreak isn't the question. What you do next is."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
Three swords piercing a heart; cloud and rain behind. Swords represents knowledge and the three card represents collaboration. Together these cards mean a lot of incoming thoughts and ideas (not all positive) are coming at you from yourself and others.
You are dealing with cyclical thoughts and intense emotions related to a change you made recently (perhaps a breakup or a fight with a friend/parent or a project went poorly). Perhaps friends/family/exes are disappointed in you and letting you know. If you hold emotions in your chest-- imagine spreading the emotion to your thighs, hands, feet and giving your heart a breather.
You are blocked by your fear of pain. Making mistakes and messing up is a part of life. You have the tools to handle sadness. Sometimes grieving things and giving them their time allows you to move on.

Three of Swords for Gemini in Health and Energy
The Communicator
Swords are the air suit, so the Three of Swords sits in Gemini. That makes this Gemini's own card, so nothing in it is being read from the outside, and the flattering interpretation is the one to distrust. What it asks for is the thing Gemini already believes it is good at: write the sentence down and stop rewriting it. Upright, it has become visible to other people, which is the part that makes it real.
When reading about health through a Gemini lens, the Three of Swords says that you feel like your body is a problem to research, something you understand in theory better than practice, and a thing you will address once you find the perfect plan (or once you finally stop waiting). This has either made you knowledgeable and eventually proactive or left you reading about the symptom for months instead of calling the doctor. The body has been sending the same signal for months and nobody has bothered to listen. The Gemini blind spot in it is stillness, silence, the moment when talking stops and you have to feel what you actually feel, the weight of having chosen one thing and not the other.
In practice that can look like a sleepless stretch. Whatever form it takes, it is about to become visible to other people.
