Career, Work Or Retirement:

In the context of work, the Five can show that you may be your own worst enemy. Don’t expect the entire system to be changed just because you believe it should be different. How you speak your mind is as important as what you say. There may be some unfairness at play in your work world. Be sure that your behavior is impeccable.

Card Meanings: Self-Sabotaging Behaviour, Lack Of Communication, Deception, Abuse, Standing Up For Yourself, Self-Sacrifice, Crime, Cowardliness, Assault, Serious Conflict, Empty Victory, Hostility, Surrender, Murder, Violence, Walking Away, Fighting Back, Victory, Intimidation, Bullying, Rape, Change, Defeat, Aggression, Underhanded Behaviour, Overcoming Challenges

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.

Book Details
Complete Book of Tarot: When upright, the Nine of Pentacles depicts the discerning virgin of the sign Virgo, a self-contained maiden modeled after Astraea/Dike, the goddess of purity and justice who held a grain of wheat in her left hand. Under Astraea’s rule, the human race enjoyed peace, prosperity, perfect weather, and eternal youth. Unfortunately, the increasing vileness of human behavior caused the discerning goddess to flee to the heavens where she became the constellation Virgo, isolated from the wickedness of humankind. The Nine of Pentacles is a card of accomplishment, refinement, material fortune, and enjoyment of the fruits of the harvest. It indicates being rewarded for discretion, hard work, meticulous care, and prudent planning.

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: If you have reached this point in the book, you should have a sense of the origins and history of the tarot, how it developed as a card game in Renaissance Italy and how it spread to France where eventually it became popularized as a means of divination in the eighteenth century. You should also be familiar with the three most popular categories of tarot decks—the Marseille, Waite-Smith, and Crowley-Harris Thoth tarot—and how they differ from so-called oracle and fortune-telling decks.

Complete Book of Tarot: When reversed, this card can indicate that you are either avoiding or refusing to face up to your deepest fears. A well-known refrain from the self-help movement goes, ‘What you resist persists.’ Acknowledge that you are worried and try to look at matters more clearly in the light of day. In the words of the serenity prayer: ‘God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.’
