Tarot Tuesday - Four of Swords
The Four of Swords is associated with the element of Air and the planets Mercury and Jupiter.
Pictured above...
The purpose of this section is to help you with your own interpretations.
In the card pictured above, we can see a skeleton in a coffin with it's arms crossed at its chest. There are four Swords around the coffin with 2 on either side, all pointing downwards. There are also 3 prominent stars with one at the top, another next to the coffin and the last is at the bottom in-between a Sword and the coffin.
Meaning
Believe it or not, the Four of Swords is the self care of the Minor Arcana. It either shows the you are taking care of yourself or that you should be! The most important message from this card is that you need to rest! You're wearing yourself out and need to slow down and relax and rejuvenate yourself. If you're going through a stressful time/situation, it's important that you take time out for yourself so you can recouperate and restore your energy. It may also indicate that you need to seek sanctuary and protect yourself either metaphysically or in the physical world or both; you may need to remove yourself from situations that are causing you stress and/or remove troublesome people from your life to achieve this.
Reversed Meaning
A reversed Four of Swords is still mostly positive and still about self care. You're burnt out and completely exhausted, carrying on in your current situation will only bring you more harm. You may feel a restlessness in regards to your situation but don't rush into anything, restlessness can lead to recklessness. On a more positive note, an awakening is coming your way! This can either be a spiritual one or to do with your question. Everything will start to fall into place and you will be able to see more clearly. This awakening will allow you to re-enter the world and release you from isolation that has been caused by your situation. It is also a sign to start your recovery, especially if any of the above applies to you. You might not feel like the time is right but you can always make a start.
Bonus
Don't forget about our weekly Oracle Reading!!👇🏻
As another bonus, I was searching for the Four of Swords and came across these reversed cards. It is also worth noting that I have yet to use this Deck properly so take from this what you will 👇🏻
I'm not sure if we're going to continue with the Minor Arcana next week or taking a break and have some other Tarot content, if you guys have a preference, let us know in the comments!!
Blessings,
