Interpretation
This card warns you against your excessive zeal and your badly controlled aggressiveness. Under the influence of the suit of Swords, you are now sure of your strength and know the path you need to take. This confidence can be a great asset for your evolution, but it is a real danger when your point of view comes up against different ones.
You have a dominant nature and sometimes tend to overestimate your place in society, so you don't look kindly on anyone who hinders your march forward. You live for conflict, it's an opportunity to show others how clever you are with words. You don't hesitate to do whatever is necessary to ensure your victory.
In the short term, you are often declared the winner. But what about the long term? Do you risk finding your belligerent nature can backfire on you? If you do not want to find yourself isolated from other people you need to learn to tone it down a bit. The victory will be less bitter.

La symbolique de la Tempérance
• The Swords : The five swords in different positions may represent words from your past or conflict that could be lingering.
• The Cloudy Sky : Instead of a clear day, the card depicts a tumultuous background within view of clearer skies - understanding is coming or understanding that existed is now becoming unclear.
• Three Figures : Stages of grief progressing toward understanding; movement away from obsession and toward openneness and forgiveness.
• The Man in the Foreground : The main figure has taken the swords away from the others, and his expression shows contentedness and even happiness as he glances backwards into his past. He takes things lightly and does not harbor grudges. Alternatively, he may be narcissistic and vengeful if dealt in reverse.
• Water : Integrating experience into the self requires a balance of intellect and emotional openness, but too much intellect or emotion could result in stunted growth.
