Five of Swords

As with all the numbered cards in the Sword suit, there can be some mental tension but the Five of Swords is often a turning point where we have to accept a situation. This is only reached by facing a moment of crisis head on. There is a point where we realise that we have taken a wrong turn, have taken on too much or that something is not going to work and we either need to admit defeat or that something isn’t going to work. The Demons are out. This presents itself in the form of one or more of the following: conflicts, disagreements, thefts, bullies, aggression, defeat, violence, defeat, or even abusive relationships. Often, because of this, as we drop the pretence or the pressure of making something work that was never meant to, there can be a sense of relief. You might end up having to redo a project, undo hours of work or end a relationship or situation, but it has become clear that it can’t continue. This can represent that moment where you throw your hands up and say ‘I can’t do this anymore’. Cut your losses – it’s time to move on.
