The sky is foggy, but the Sword pierces the fog, like seeing the truth can wake you out of confusion, even if it's an unpleasant truth. There is a lot of red in this card, from the rooftops, which might show that in this Ace, thought is combined with passion or energy. There are golden yods raining down, or spirit descending to the earth. They could be showing the cycle, that pure thought leads to the spirit, which in turn leads back to the world.
