Romance, Love Or Relationships:

Unfortunately when the Five of Swords appears in the context of love, conflict is a near surety. Things may not work out as you would hope with a love relationship. Think calmly and carefully about what your deal-breakers are in a relationship. Be honest with yourself first, then be honest with your beloved. Accept reality.

When the Five of Swords appears, you are likely to find yourself with some mixed feelings about life in general and about a few people in particular. Don’t ignore these, but don’t feel like you have to speak every word you’re thinking and feeling either, as you could ruin the very things that you want the most – such as close, intimate relationships with your friends and lover. Think several times before you really let someone have it even if they deserve it. Pick your battles.

Reversed Cards: In the retrograde aspect of the Five of Swords, we see Venus, the planet of love, struggle with the rebellious nature of Aquarius. Venus wants everyone to get along. The problem is Aquarius believes they are the only one that knows how that should be. Can you remember a time in your past when you thought you were the only one with a real solution? Think back to the last time you tried to tell someone how they should experience the world around them, or perhaps the last time someone told that to you. It more than likely didn’t work out well, and it won’t work this time either.

Complete Book of Tarot: Trump 14: Temperance. Here again the tarot follows the order of cardinal virtues laid down by Thomas Aquinas. The angel of Temperance is mixing water and wine, just as a Catholic priest does during the sacrifice of the Mass. The sacrificial wine symbolizes the divine nature of Christ; and the water, his human nature. In Christian lore, Jesus was a perfect blending of God and Man. By overcoming Death (trump 13), Christ offered humanity eternal life. These accomplishments were certain to make the Devil (trump 15) quite unhappy.

Complete Book of Tarot: When upright, the Four of Wands suggests that you are establishing a firm foundation as you manifest the results of your work. If you have been involved in a project, you are now at a stage of completion and able to rest and enjoy the fruits of your labors. If your question concerns a relationship or business partnership, it is on a firm footing. This card often represents rites of passage such as weddings, births, bar mitzvahs, graduations, etc. The symbolism of a harvest-home is linked to the possibility of purchasing a dwelling or moving to a new residence.
