The card brings the meeting of two — attraction, mirror, an agreement or a deadlock between you, and in Swords the subject is mind and word: the conversation, the truth said or swallowed, and how much of the pain your thinking is manufacturing.
A single card names the theme; it can't answer your situation. That's what the Love Tarot is for — it starts from your question and your context.
Two of Swords in work and money
The card brings the negotiation or the partnership: two sides trying for an agreement, and in Swords it's strategy and communication: a contract, a hard negotiation, a truth said in the meeting — and the mental cost of all of it.
To apply this to a real decision about work or money, the Prosperity reading starts from your question.
