Romance, Love Or Relationships:
The reversed Four of Swords, if you are currently in a romantic relationship, can show that you will need to make extra effort to find yourself feeling more ‘together’ with your partner. However, you also need to stay alert to the fact that your partner may be exhausted for other reasons (such as health or work) and if so, you need to not take this personally. If you are looking for love and coming up empty handed, and this has been so for some time, then it is definitely time to change your tactics. For instance if you’ve been looking online, try groups which meet in person; or vice-versa.

When the Lord of Truce appears he brings with him a temporary respite, often after we have passed through trying times. This is a quiet period, which should be used to recover, regroup and stabilise. It’s important though, that we always bear in mind the fact that this is only a moment in time. Soon we shall be required to pick up the tools of life and continue on our journey. So on a day ruled by him, we’re well advised to use the internal stillness he brings to think over trouble spots, or areas of difficulty. That way we see the whole issue more clearly, and are better equipped to sally forth undaunted when the time comes. Occasionally on a day ruled by the 4 of Swords there will be a requirement to bury the hatchet with somebody, or to accept their gestures of friendliness toward us. It’s important that we are reserved both in what we are prepared to offer, and what we are prepared to forgive. Truce only marks the cessation of hostilities – a brief pause during which we might negotiate a lasting peace.
The one thing this card always tells us is that we have not yet finished our business here. If we fail to hold this in the forefront of our minds, we are likely to make the mistake of being unprepared for whatever comes next. So – on this day – rest as easy as you can, and locate areas of challenge, difficulty or sensitivity for future attention. Think carefully about trying to resolve anything until the influences are more supportive. In readings, the Four of Swords is often a sign that you need to slow down and get some rest. If you are recovering from an illness, allow yourself quiet time to heal. Even if you feel completely healthy, you are risking getting sick if you don’t take a break.

Creative Tarot: And so we have two obstacles that echo each other: Strength and the Four of Swords. Both are cards of repose. Strength wants the lion (or the project or the inspiration) to come to her, so she waits patiently for it. The Four of Swords is taking a nap. And these cards together suggest someone who is wandering around her apartment, maybe scrubbing out her bathtub, maybe flipping through art books, waiting for inspiration to strike. But the Emperor requires you to show up for the work, whether you want to or not. These cards of sitting around, being vigilant but still procrastinating, are in line with the High Priestesss desires, which is to never actually get around to doing the work but, instead, to always be preparing to do the work.
Portable Magic: Whichever Tarot deck you select for your own rituals, you should continue to use it until you become completely familiar with its symbolism. Over time, a deck of Tarot cards used repeatedly for ritual magic will acquire its own energies that make it easier to work rituals with that deck. That is because the deck becomes more real on the astral level within the mind of the magician using the cards. Less effort is needed each time by the magician to create the cards on the astral level, freeing up energies for the actual work of magic.
