This card, the Lord of Defeat, has much more to do with how we limit ourselves in order to avoid disappointment, than it does to do with external events. Nobody ever gets every single thing they want out of life. But if, to avoid additional pain, they don’t take chances and risks, then they will end up never achieving their fullest potential, never seeking out success, and always feeling as though life has somehow done the dirty deed to them. A day ruled by the 5 of Dynamism may have more than its fair share of setbacks. You might get news that you don’t want, or have one of your hopes dented a bit. If that is the type of day you have, don’t turn that disappointment into fear. Spend some time with your feelings. You are entitled to feel let down when something that matters to you goes awry. Do something gentle with yourself, to remind yourself of the things which are right in your life. Give yourself a good cuddle. And then dust off your disappointment, and decide which course of action will serve you best in order to try to follow through on what you need. Very often, when we get a knock-back, we compound it by beating ourselves up. In no time at all, the original disappointment has been overwhelmed by a bunch of other negative thoughts and attitudes that hurt and damage us. By the time we’ve finished we are desperately distressed, have kicked our self-esteem into touch, and feel completely incapable of contributing anything useful or worthwhile.
If, instead of doing this, we empathise with ourselves, we will find the original disappointment easier to get into perspective, against the backcloth of the rest of our lives. We will find it simpler to see the REAL problem, rather than cloaking it with a bunch of insecurities and difficulties. And we will not gather fear around us which makes us hesitate when taking the next necessary step. If, on a day ruled by the Lord of Defeat, it is not outside events which cause problems, then spend time thinking about your overall attitudes. Seek out your fears about defeat, and confront them. Call them by name, and challenge them out into the light, where you can get a good look at them. Fearing pain does not stop us experiencing it. But living in accordance with fear can stop us from experiencing life.

Creative Tarot: Thats a Five of Swords situation. You are engaged in a fight even though you know deep down there is no way to win. But youve invested so much time, so much thought and money, that you cant give up on the dream. Your pride is such that its not that you cant stand not winning, its that you cant stand the idea of losing. It has blinded you to the reality that this is not going to work. The only thing you can do is to drop the idea wholesale and walk away. Put that energy into a new project instead of squandering it on something that isnt meant to be.
Reversed Cards: There are many ways to engage with the ideas, lessons, and steps the major arcana give us. We can seek someone in the tarot court for guidance and assistance. We can find out who we are amongst the court cards. Or perhaps the court cards can show us who we need to be, whose shoes we need to step into, to fully realize the lesson, wisdom, and guidance of the major arcana cards.

Reiki and Archangels: I do Angel Card Readings every single day to receive guidance for my personal growth. For a period in time, I kept drawing the card of Archangel Metatron. This card asked me to clear my chakras with his help. I did not take this guidance seriously and kept putting off working with Archangel Metatron for several days. But like all card readers would know, you keep drawing the same cards until you follow the guidance being given to you. I drew the card so many times that I finally decided to work with this mighty Archangel.
