Three of Swordsfor Scorpio
"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 Scorpio
The Transformer
Scorpio is a Water fixed sign ruled by Mars, whose natural subject is shared resources, other people's money, death, sex, what is hidden. Swords are the air suit, so the Three of Swords sits in Libra. Libra sits directly beside Scorpio, the one relationship a sign cannot see clearly because it is too close to get any distance on. What it asks for is this: write the sentence down and stop rewriting it. The difficulty is noticing it is being asked at all. Scorpio is fixed: it holds on, and this is a card about beginning, so the resistance shows up before anything has even been asked. The card and the sign pull in different directions, and the friction is the information. Upright, it has become visible to other people, which is the part that makes it real.
