Weekly Tarot Card (Feb 1) – Five of Swords reversed

The card drawn for this week is the Five of Swords reversed.

In the Rider-Waite deck, the Five of Swords shows a man picking up three swords from what looks like a battlefield. Two men are walking away, leaving their swords on the ground as if the battle is over. One man appears to be grieving. The sky is stormy with a thunderstorm brewing. Thunderstorms often bring out some strange behaviour and tension in both animals and humans, which is relevant for the man picking up the swords with a smile on his face, even though the battle is over.

Five  of SwordsThe Five of Swords suggests that you may be trying to pick up the pieces or continue fighting when the battle is already over. You might find it difficult to accept that you have lost, but you keep on fighting. Additionally, you may be desperately trying to clutch at straws to keep a case going or to try and win in the situation. But alas, you have lost and it is time to start rethinking the circumstances and start afresh.

Reversed, the Five of Swords suggests that you are now more open to change. The arguing is over and you are more willing to look at the situation with fresh eyes. You are willing to lay down your sword and begin negotiating, honestly trying to arrive at a win-win solution rather than always knocking heads. A return to the Four of Swords is required, where tranquility and peace drive your thoughts and behaviour, moving away from tension and conflict. A good time to reach out to those with whom you have recently had conflict or disagreements.
