Romance, Love Or Relationships:

When the Five of Swords reversed appears in the context of love, you may be sacrificing your happiness because of a need to show/feel that you are ‘right.’ People have sensibly asked ‘Do you want to be ‘right’ or do you want to be happy?’ Sometimes you have to let go of your ego and simply accept things, whether you are looking for love or whether you are in in a long-term relationship.

Card Meanings: Revenge, Communication, Regret, Shame, Loss, Ending Conflict, Compromise, Overcoming Challenge, Escalating Violence, Defeat, Uncovered Crime, Major Sacrifice, Unfairness, Humiliation, Releasing Stress, Moving On, Risk Everything, Peaceful Resolution, Relentless, Remorse, Not Heeding Warnings, Arrest, Held Accountable

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.

Creative Tarot: Maybe you’re exhausted, or you might still be feeling the cruel sting of the Five of Swords, but at least you are now moving forward. Slowly but surely.

Tarot Triumphs: Tarot can be used very effectively for divination. If you ask a question of the cards, then shuffle and lay them out in a particular order, some answer is likely to emerge from interpreting that configuration. This requires an understanding of the Tarot symbols, and of the patterning of the layout, but it is a method of divination open to anyone who takes the trouble to acquire this knowledge. In case I seem to be stating the obvious, not everyone has used Tarot for this purpose. Many people have used the pack for card games, and others, particularly recently, study it primarily to develop spiritual or psychological insight. This book, however, is mainly about Tarot divination: that is to say, using the Tarot Trumps as a means to gain access to knowledge that is normally beyond our conscious grasp. In this way, we seek clarity or guidance in the situations of life. It is primarily a search for meaning. Tarot divination can also act as a mirror of the soul, reflecting someone’s personal state, including hidden elements that are not usually discernible.

Reversed Cards: Temperance is one of the major arcana cards linked to a karmic debt number in numerology, fourteen/five (14/5). In numerology, this karmic debt number is linked to freedom and temptation, which is interesting considering the placement of this card between Death and the Devil. Death itself is freedom, and the Devil knows all about temptation. Yet Temperance sits between them. She mixes her one and four and produces a five, the number of change. Change is in many ways an opportunity for deep healing work, so it is little wonder that Temperance is often seen as a healing card. Karmic debt numbers are also an opportunity for healing. They offer a space to rid oneself of past habits, cycles, and beliefs. They offer a space in which to be reborn, which is often the case after death. Here in the reversal aspect of our karmic debt fourteen/five, Temperance is offering you another chance to change from a different perspective. She is turning herself upside down so you don’t miss any possible opportunities to amend your karmic debt. Just understand that here in the reversed aspect things will be more challenging. Traction will be harder to find, and the allure of Death and the Devil may be more tempting than normal. Regardless of its orientation, though, Temperance offers you the chance to walk the middle path, the road between the temptations. Just keep your eyes open and you too will find it even while standing on your head.
