It indicates the need for courage, resourcefulness and determination. It will also call for you an honest and ethical approach. There is often a clear sense of understanding of what needs to be done and an ability to cut through irrelevant things.
The Ace of Swords can also point to truth and justice, to championing a cause and standing up for what you believe to be right.
