You’re likely to be under stress from a combination of factors, so it’s particularly important when this card appears to be gentle with yourself. If you’re angry, allow yourself to express it (safely and carefully) rather than turning your anger and sorrow on yourself. Rest and relaxation is crucial. Worry and guilt are useless. Let them go.

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.

Reversed Cards: If you thought the suit of swords was mental before, wait till you take a walk through the blocked aspect of the Five of Swords. Does the phrase ‘cut your nose off to spite your face’ mean anything to you? It is the expression gifted to people who seem to rush in, blow things up, and then wonder how it all went so wrong. You could also call it self-sabotage. This is what holding on to fear will do. It will make you impulsive and reckless, but not in a good way. Actions have consequences here in the Five of Swords, and you are about to find out what they are.

Complete Book of Tarot: Offering professional advice. Tarot readers should stick to reading the cards with the intention of empowering clients to clarify their thinking and make their own well-informed decisions. Tarot consultants should not offer advice about matters requiring professional expertise such as medical treatment, legal matters, financial planning, investment counseling, psychotherapy, etc. Such issues must be taken to an appropriately trained professional. Even if the tarot reader happens also to be a doctor or lawyer, the tarot reader should stick to interpreting the cards in an ethical matter. The act of offering professional advice changes the relationship so that the querent becomes the doctor’s patient, the lawyer’s client, and so on; then the tarot reader is subject to the ethical standards of his or her profession.
