Career, Work Or Retirement:

This is a great time to take some time off from work if you can (even a long weekend.) you need a break and some perspective. Things are not likely to be going as you would like them to do – don’t take this personally or try to push harder. Sometimes we just need to be patient with the process. If you can’t stand the need for patience, perhaps the time has come to start looking for another position.

The Four of Swords is a card that signifies a break (or need for a break) from normal life. This can also mean that you or someone in your life may withdraw for a time. This withdrawal is not likely to be permanent. It also occasionally means illness or time in the hospital or (even more rarely) in jail. It’s a clear signifier to give people their space.

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.

Tarot Card Meanings: Four of Swords;  Calmness amidst chaos and turmoil.  A quiet, reflective time during difficulties is either coming or required.  This is a time for truces, in any area of life, and a time to reassess what you desire from a situation.  Reversed; some successes but often insubstantial ones, or those without permanent results.  Stop gap solutions or temporary agreements are indicated.

Complete Book of Tarot: even after a book goes to press, an author never feels that his work is quite complete. There are always lingering doubts. Did I say enough about topic X? Was topic Y explained clearly? Will readers get confused by how I explained such and such? Should topic Z have been omitted and perhaps something else been discussed in its place? And so on. In this final chapter, I would like to outline what I hoped to accomplish in this text and conclude with a brief reflection on the psychological value of reading the tarot.

Complete Book of Tarot: When upright, this card represents anguish of mind. Sometimes you feel so bad that you’d like to run off to a sheltered refuge and cloister yourself like a monk or a nun. Worrisome thoughts may be keeping you up at night or having a negative effect on your health. Perhaps you have felt the sting of harsh words from a loved one (warlike Mars in mental Gemini), or you fear an impending split or separation in a relationship. Whatever is troubling you, just remember that matters look bleaker in anticipation and in the darkness of night than when they actually manifest in tangible reality. According to author Amber Jayanti, this card reflects ‘how painful it can be to let go of what you want and accept what is.’ 42
