3 of Swords (Upright)

For your May 2025 Manifestation reading, the 3 of Swords signals a pivotal moment of heart-healing and emotional release. As you prepare for the month ahead, the cards acknowledge that you are carrying the weight of recent sorrow or disappointment—perhaps an unresolved betrayal, heartbreak, or lingering sadness has shaped your outlook. Yet, this card encourages you to bravely face these wounds with honesty and self-compassion. May is the ideal time to allow yourself to grieve fully, but not to let pain define your path forward. Manifestation in the coming month will center on transformation through acceptance: once you honor your feelings and permit yourself to mourn, you create energetic space for new blessings to emerge. This is a month of letting go—releasing unhealthy attachments, forgiving yourself or others, and moving beyond the storm clouds so that clarity and renewal can take root. Trust that healing is possible, and by processing your pain, you make way for hope, resilience, and new opportunities. Under this card’s influence, your manifestation work this May is about consciously inviting healing and aligning your desires with self-love, knowing that brighter days are ahead as you disentangle yourself from old hurts.
