Well-Being, Physical Health Or Mental Health:
This card signifies a need, in the context of health, to count your blessings. Your health may not be all that you would like it to be, on the other hand, it is doubtless better than that of many other people. Be grateful for what you have. This card can also show a need to slow down and take it easy. Pushing yourself when you are too tired can cause illness or injury. Everyone needs rest and time alone.

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.

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: Third-party readings. A querent may ask you to consult the cards for someone who is not present. Most readers believe you should only do a reading for the querent and avoid consulting the cards to garner information about someone who has not given permission, as it is tantamount to spying. The tarot is not a granny cam. In the words of Hippocrates, ‘Whatever I may happen to obtain knowledge of, if it be not proper to repeat, I will keep it sacred and secret within my own breast.’

Complete Book of Tarot: Card 4, advice: Ten of Cups. The advice of the Ten of Cups is to keep the focus on family love and support. Blaming and recriminations were unlikely to be helpful. The querents wife had also drawn the Ten of Cups in her two-card spread about the same issue.
