🃏 The Ace of Swords isn't just cleverness. It's a flash of insight, a moment that lights the path ahead and recontextualises what's gone before. Here are three characters who capture different sides of this card:
Daniel Jackson (Stargate)
Daniel is brought into a project where everyone else has already accepted the rules. His success comes because he's willing to look beyond the expected into the realm of possibility (and because he happens to see a page of astrology symbols at exactly the right moment.)
Ace of Swords Vibes:
Looks beyond the expected
Takes an unrelated subject and applies it to what he knows
Changes the whole shape of reality for the project
The A-Team Montage (A Team)
We've all seen the clips - the A Team stand in a barn full of rubbish, look around, do some welding and tying and end up with a tank. The Ace of Swords is the moment they stop seeing a pile of junk and start seeing the machine hidden inside it. The team are able to see the shape of what's possible.
Ace of Swords Vibes:
- Sees opportunities where others see obstacles
- Solves problems creatively
- Turns ideas into action
Columbo
- Not fooled by the obvious
- Allows people to incriminate themselves
- Adjusts his conclusions as new evidence appears.
