Tarot symbols - Rain and clouds
Rain
Traditionally, rain has held symbol meanings of cleansing as well as fecundity (ancient cultures honored the rain for its ability to provide life to crops). In the case of the three of swords, we can take this symbol meaning as one of clearing, and washing away the old in order to accept the new. The imagery of card dis oppressive, as it should be for all its indications – when we see the rain falling in this card it’s a reminder that rain washes away the dirt, storms do pass, and we are left with more fertile soil for planting (figuratively speaking) at the end of the storm.
Clouds
Clouds hold the symbol meaning of revelation. Consider out of the mists of our deepest thoughts suddenly an epiphany comes, a bright idea comes out from nowhere – this is the basic cloud symbol meaning. Depending on the card, clouds can also symbolize confusion or clouded judgment. Primarily, clouds represent higher thought and messages from the divine.
