Family, Friends & Relationships:
In general, the Five of Swords can indicate that someone you care about may be away for a while. Don’t get too possessive if that’s the case. Assume that they will be coming back to you. The Five can indicate conflicts, both external and internal. Don’t escalate conflicts unnecessarily. Think before you act.
Card Meanings: Self-Sabotaging Behaviour, Lack Of Communication, Deception, Abuse, Standing Up For Yourself, Self-Sacrifice, Crime, Cowardliness, Assault, Serious Conflict, Empty Victory, Hostility, Surrender, Murder, Violence, Walking Away, Fighting Back, Victory, Intimidation, Bullying, Rape, Change, Defeat, Aggression, Underhanded Behaviour, Overcoming Challenges
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.

The Devil card teaches us that seeking pleasure in life is perfectly acceptable, so long as it is done with moderation (which is why Temperance, card XIV, precedes card XV, the Devil). When this card appears in a reading, its time to lighten up and delight in activities that you may have avoided because of a rigid sense of obligation or morality. The Devil whispers in your ear: ‘If it feels good, do it.’ Thus, if there is a cherished worldly ambition you have held back from pursing, now is the time to go for it.
