To make it complete~SWORDS: Love/relationships

I thought that Wands and Pentacles have already been done, why not Swords??

So this is my take

Ace of Swords
First thing that comes to mind for this one, perhaps you may have as a friend, work with or do some sort of activity with, and you never have thought of that person in that way, then just out of the blue so to speak you start thinking about that person in the romantic sense. Or on the other hand, being in a romantic relationship and then all of a suddenly they start thinking that they don't want to be involved with you in that sense anymore

Two of Swords
Not seeing the truth, not allowing yourself to show your emotions, or even recognising your emotions in regards to a relationship. Maybe you secretly like someone, but you don't do anything about it because you are afraid of getting hurt. Perhaps you are in a long term relationship which has grown stale, not fulfilling or whatever, and you refuse to acknowledge that there is a problem.

Three of Swords
Well, this one is easy, a situation that has come to a head, and a decision and action needs to be made, no matter how much pain, sorrow and heartache is involved. Now, before you start thinking that is the end of the relationship, it may not be so.

Four of Swords
This could indicate that you are needing time alone to go through a process of introspection and retrospection in the aim of gaining self-awareness and greater spirituality. Finding a time for peace, rest, relaxation and recuperation. Perhaps a relationship or a particular person could provide you with a sense of haven for you so that you could feel at rest etc

Five of Swords
Knowing when a situation is not worth fighting over, and in the long run is better that you just walk away, as not to hurt anyone else's feelings, yours included

Six of Swords
Perhaps this would be in relation to the fact that you decide to leave a relationship that has resulted in turmoil or torment. On the other hand finding someone who makes it feels like you are leaving a place of turmoil or torment and going to a place of peace, calm and tranquility

Seven of Swords
Maybe this is in relation to someone's approaches to the other in the relationship, for example perhaps a more diplomatic approach is needed instead of a more direct and abrupt manner. Perhaps this is signifying that you need to take a good long look at what you want to do, instead of being hasty. Maybe it is in relation to the relationship itself, maybe it is no good for you, and you need to escape it

Eight of Swords
Being in a situation where you seem to be blocked, inhibited or hindered. Not seeing a way out of the situation. Or perhaps moving from the situation as you can see how you can remove yourself.

Nine of Swords
Feelings of despair, which may involve guilt. Irrational thoughts, making mountains out of molehills. Being kept awake at night with imagined problems. Things may not be as bad as they appear to you

Ten of Swords
An ending of a situation, even though it may be painful at the time, will help to bring about a better and brighter future. This may be in relation to actually leaving a relationship, or a temporary separation due to problems in the relationship

Page of Swords
Again, perhaps this would be in relation to the fact that you may have a friend, work with someone, or do a sort of activity with someone, whether it being in a club situation, seeing that person you would want to be in a romantic situation which you would never would have considered before

Knight of Swords
I would say that the relationship has become stagnant, and a sudden change is needed, even though it may be disruptive

Queen of Swords
High ideals and expectations are placed on the relationship. Perhaps this high ideals and expectation are unrealistic, that would ultimately result in disappointment. Irrational thoughts that would hinder and inhibit one of the people in the relationship, if not both!

King of Swords
May indicate someone who has high intellect, may be in relation to the legal profession, or perhaps even a doctor. I think that this would indicate perhaps wanting harmony in the relationship. Developing mental skills and intellectual prowess in a new way??? I would say balance in the relationship, perhaps both partners having an equal part to play in the relationship as such. I would say being judged for certain deeds would also be included in this

Anyone else wanting to add to this????

IF we assign air/intellect to swords, then in love/relationship we have to remember that it's more about the head/words than the heart. So, you wouldn't get "ace/Swords and start thinking suddenly about a romantic relationship.

Ace/Swords would be--this person has cool ideas. Their words--maybe in a chat room? A personal's ad?--have caught your attention.

2/Swords is where you might be having a disagreement of opinion with the person--but you work things out. You compromise.

3/Swords--ouch. Something very painful was said; a painful truth, or a falsehood discovered. And I'm afraid, yes, the relationship is over--the person you met in that chat room has gone off with someone else.

4/Swords--time to take a rest. Silence, quiet. No more talking. Meditation not thinking.

Thus: with Ace you see the person in the chat room, by Two, you're arguing, disagreeing, debating, and working out compromises, still thinking a relationship can be worked out, but by three things have fallen apart, you realize this person can say nasty things as well as interesting things, and that he/she isn't as honest or as you thought or in tune with you. It hurts. So, 4/Swords--you stay off the internet for a while. I'm sure this sounds all too familiar.

5/Swords--you're quite right, a "situation....not worth fighting over, and in the long run is better that you just walk away, as not to hurt anyone else's feelings, yours included." The argument can't be won.

6/Swords--this can mean leaving rough waters behind, but also a meeting of minds. Relationship wise, this could be about finding that other someone who knows the answers to your problems.

7/Swords--in a relationship, as you said, this is either about diplomacy--or deceit. You may want to be bluntly honest, but that won't work. Or maybe someone isn't being honest with you. Watch that someone isn't sneaking around your back--chatting with someone on-line or on the phone.

8/Swords--A bad situation in the relationship--the person feels like they can't say anything without offending or hurting or triggering the other person.

9/Swords--Thinking and worrying too much about the relationship. Running in circles, dreaming up nightmare senarios.

10/Swords--Certainly an end to all communication. It's dead. The two sides no longer know how to communicate with each other, not even through a lawyer.

Page of Swords--This is gossip. Relationship-wise, don't believe all you hear.

Knight of Swords--A lot of talk--one person dominating the conversation, perhaps acting more clever than they are.

Queen of Swords--Cool but hopeful--interesting and visionary ideas. A mind worth pursuing.

King of Swords--certainly a relationship that wants, as you say, balance in mental abilities, fairness in communication, an aesthetic of harmony.

Thanks Thirteen

What you says makes more sense than what I had said.
