Career, Work Or Retirement:

In the context of work, The reversed Five can show that you may be shooting your own self in the foot. Do not create conflict where none exists if you remotely want to keep your job, and do not escalate conflicts that are already there, unnecessarily. Accept situations as they are, unless something illegal or immoral is happening, and if it’s the latter, consider making a report to the appropriate authorities. Some problems are too big to try to solve on your own.

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: To see how this functions in a reading, let’s look at a group of Five cards: the Hierophant, the Devil, Five of Swords, Five of Cups, Five of Wands, and Five of Coins.

Tarot Triumphs: In terms of cultural history, Temperance represents one of the four cardinal virtues,44 so in a simplistic interpretation it could be taken as a stern warning against drinking too much alcohol. But this is not the root of its meaning; earlier associated uses of the word include ‘temperament,’ meaning the blending of four elements to make up a person’s type.45 The waters mix in our own personalities, too; our energies and outpourings can be tempered by judicious mixing of our own emotions and reactions. Temperance in a Tarot reading may raise the question of balance and flow: are the energies flowing well, and are they being channeled correctly in a particular situation?

Reversed Cards: As you look at this card from the mirror aspect, you may find you need to justify your current call to arms. Something has you all riled up, but why? Oftentimes we find ourselves reacting instead of observing and making informed decisions that will not only benefit ourselves but those around us. While you have this highly charged card in the mirror aspect, perhaps you can take this opportunity to see if you are acting on behalf of your greater good or if your reactive ego has gotten the better of you.
