Upright meaning
Three swords in a heart — the most honestly painful card in the deck. Loss or hard words go straight through, but cloud and rain are passing weather. Not denying the pain is the first step of healing.
If it were reversed
The swords are being drawn out one at a time. The scar stays but the rain is stopping — if the wound is an old one, now is the time to treat it.
