Faith, Spirituality Or Psychic Progression:

Book Details
Complete Book of Tarot: When upright, the Five of Swords indicates that you are dealing with some type of loss, defeat or abandonment. There is an important spiritual lesson to be learned from this mournful experience. Sometimes this card indicates that you are the victor who is gloating over his triumph without regard for the feelings of those whom you have humiliated. Alternatively, you may be the loser who is feeling affronted, rejected, abandoned, or treated unfairly. Social science has demonstrated that experiences of humiliation can lead to feelings of anger and sometimes violence.

Reversed Cards: The Five of Pentacles can often show a time of disconnection. In the upright position this may very well have been unintended or even unwanted, but here in the protection aspect it is actually done deliberately. The card is the closest we can get in the tarot to showing how to step outside the boundaries of social convention. Think of it as getting off the conveyor belt of life just long enough to reboot, reset, and possibly find other ways of experiencing your physical journey. Not everything about our modern world is helpful or enriching. Oftentimes the world can be restricting, cruel, and dehumanizing. Use the Five of Pentacles in the protection aspect as a respite, not a permanent solution.

Complete Book of Tarot: Each major arcana card is assigned to one of the four elements. These assignments can be found in the individual descriptions of the cards in chapter on the major arcana. To interpret tarot layouts, the Golden Dawn used a combination of card counting together with a method of assessing the interactions of the four elements to judge the dignity or relative importance of each card in the spread. Let’s begin by taking a look at card counting.
