Romance, Love Or Relationships:

If you are currently in a romantic relationship, you may be feeling a bit disconnected. It is important to let your partner know what is going on inside, but remember that your feelings are your own, it is not necessarily their job to try to make you feel fabulous all the time. It may be that you simply need some time apart. Don’t hesitate to take it. If you’re looking for love, now is not the time to push. You’d be better off getting very, very specific about exactly what you are looking for in a relationship. The time will come when you will meet someone. That time is probably not in the immediate.

Card Meanings: Contemplation, Feeling Overwhelmed, Spiritual Counselling Or Support, Mental Overload, Regrouping, Rest, Introspection, Self-Protection, Planning For The Future, Relaxation, Strife, Hospitalisation, Needing Solitude, Fear, Anxiety, Meditation, Peace And Quiet, Recuperation, Retreat, Stress, Temporary Exile, Sanctuary

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: Trump 15: The Devil. The Prince of Darkness is upset by the words of the New Testament: ‘For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life’ (John 3:16, KJV). Satan will do whatever he can to lure people away from the righteous path, often appealing to their pride and ambition as can be seen in the next trump, the Tower.

Reversed Cards: The original Four of Swords card is often referred to as an effigy, a figure created quite often in medieval times for knights and important rulers. The effigy was meant to roughly represent the person that was buried beneath it, sort of like a mirror. They are similar but different. The Four of Swords in the mirror aspect is letting you know that your life is not matching up to the image you have created inside your head. This may be making you complacent. Effigies were never meant to replace the real thing and were not always meant to last. Temporary is an important keyword for you right now.

Complete Book of Tarot: Some clients use the tarot regularly for meditation and spiritual enlightenment. When a querent has no specific question in mind, one can do a general reading to suggest issues that are currently important for the querent to ponder. General readings often highlight concerns that warrant further exploration. For example, the Chariot might indicate plans to buy or sell a car, the Hierophant might presage a church wedding, Justice might refer to a court case or legal matter, and so on.
