Faith, Spirituality Or Psychic Progression:

In the context of spirituality, this card indicates a need for space. You need time and quiet, to really get in touch with your soul and the universal energies around us all. Even if you work full time and have fourteen children, if you make it a priority, you can find a minute or Two of solitude. Find it and take it. Your sanity, and your soul, is crying out for this.

Card Meanings: Contemplation, Feeling Overwhelmed, Spiritual Counselling Or Support, Mental Overload, Regrouping, Rest, Introspection, Self-Protection, Planning For The Future, Relaxation, Strife, Hospitalisation, Needing Solitude, Fear, Anxiety, Meditation, Peace And Quiet, Recuperation, Retreat, Stress, Temporary Exile, Sanctuary

The Four of Swords is a card that signifies a break (or need for a break) from normal life. This can also mean that you or someone in your life may withdraw for a time. This withdrawal is not likely to be permanent. It also occasionally means illness or time in the hospital or (even more rarely) in jail. It’s a clear signifier to give people their space.

Book Details
Portable Magic: Red is the color of Wands and Fire. Blue is the color of Cups and Water. Yellow is the color of Swords and Air. Green is the color of Pentacles and Earth. The yellow of Air should be thought of as deep and rich, much darker than the pale gold of spiritual radiance. The primary Golden Dawn color for Earth is black, but black is not very workable as a color for beams of light during rituals, so I prefer to use a deep green for Earth. This is acceptable because the Golden Dawn acknowledged four color for elemental Earth vitrine, russet, olive, and sable.

Creative Tarot: And so we have two obstacles that echo each other: Strength and the Four of Swords. Both are cards of repose. Strength wants the lion (or the project or the inspiration) to come to her, so she waits patiently for it. The Four of Swords is taking a nap. And these cards together suggest someone who is wandering around her apartment, maybe scrubbing out her bathtub, maybe flipping through art books, waiting for inspiration to strike. But the Emperor requires you to show up for the work, whether you want to or not. These cards of sitting around, being vigilant but still procrastinating, are in line with the High Priestess’s desires, which is to never actually get around to doing the work but, instead, to always be preparing to do the work.

Portable Magic: The elemental cross serves as the altar of Tarot magic. Because of the shape of the cards, it is easy and natural to build an altar of four cards as a cross, but awkward to build it in the form of a square. When laid as a square, the bases of the four interlaced cards cannot converge at the centre, a necessary feature of the altar because it emphasizes the centre point as the point of emanation. The cross creates an altar of perfect size to fit within the circle of the zodiacal trumps, but an altar based on the square is smaller and less aesthetically pleasing when set in the circle.

Portable Magic: The other trumps are most often given Roman numerals from I to XXI. However, there is no Roman numeral for zero. This practice of leaving the Fool unnumbered or giving it a zero defines a division in the Greater Arcana that has considerable esoteric meaning. The trumps naturally split into two parts the solitary Fool, and the other twenty-one picture cards. Esoterically, the Fool remains aloof and apart, and for this reason it interacts with all the other trumps equally. The Fool is a kind of touchstone against which the other trumps are contrasted and evaluated.
