Finance, Money Matters Or Debt:

There could be conflict because of money when The reversed Five of Swords appears. Keep a cool head and look at the basis of the problem. Have you made a mistake? If so, admit it. Are you or people close to you putting too much influence on the importance of money? Work through problems, don’t try to run away from them. One thing at a time.

Card Meanings: Revenge, Communication, Regret, Shame, Loss, Ending Conflict, Compromise, Overcoming Challenge, Escalating Violence, Defeat, Uncovered Crime, Major Sacrifice, Unfairness, Humiliation, Releasing Stress, Moving On, Risk Everything, Peaceful Resolution, Relentless, Remorse, Not Heeding Warnings, Arrest, Held Accountable

This card, the Lord of Defeat, has much more to do with how we limit ourselves in order to avoid disappointment, than it does to do with external events. Nobody ever gets every single thing they want out of life. But if, to avoid additional pain, they don’t take chances and risks, then they will end up never achieving their fullest potential, never seeking out success, and always feeling as though life has somehow done the dirty deed to them. A day ruled by the 5 of Swords may have more than its fair share of setbacks. You might get news that you don’t want, or have one of your hopes dented a bit. If that is the type of day you have, don’t turn that disappointment into fear. Spend some time with your feelings. You are entitled to feel let down when something that matters to you goes awry. Do something gentle with yourself, to remind yourself of the things which are right in your life. Give yourself a good cuddle. And then dust off your disappointment, and decide which course of action will serve you best in order to try to follow through on what you need. Very often, when we get a knock-back, we compound it by beating ourselves up. In no time at all, the original disappointment has been overwhelmed by a bunch of other negative thoughts and attitudes that hurt and damage us. By the time we’ve finished we are desperately distressed, have kicked our self-esteem into touch, and feel completely incapable of contributing anything useful or worthwhile.

If, instead of doing this, we empathise with ourselves, we will find the original disappointment easier to get into perspective, against the backcloth of the rest of our lives. We will find it simpler to see the REAL problem, rather than cloaking it with a bunch of insecurities and difficulties. And we will not gather fear around us which makes us hesitate when taking the next necessary step. If, on a day ruled by the Lord of Defeat, it is not outside events which cause problems, then spend time thinking about your overall attitudes. Seek out your fears about defeat, and confront them. Call them by name, and challenge them out into the light, where you can get a good look at them. Fearing pain does not stop us experiencing it. But living in accordance with fear can stop us from experiencing life.

Reversed Cards: The Magician has all that he or she requires. The skills, the tools, the know-how. Yet even though the Magician has all of this at his or her disposal, it can be easy to feel out of power and disconnected from it. The mirror aspect reminds you of what you have right at your fingertips even though you have forgotten or refused to recognize it. Far too often we sell ourselves short, not allowing ourselves to truly step into our power or our gifts. But here in the mirror aspect, the Magician is showing you all that you have. All your gifts, talents, and skills are on display and reflected right back at you. You can try to look away, but I suggest you don’t. Because if this card has shown up in the reading, your gifts really want to catch your eye. They want to help you find an answer or solution to a current question or an issue. You see, you don’t have to look any further than yourself to find what you need. You have been staring yourself in the face.
