Tarot Card Meanings >

de La Tempérance dans la tarot de Marseille


If you are at a point in your life where you’ve been running yourself ragged, and you receive the Four of Swords card, this may be a sign that you need to slow down and rest. For some, the card may be a premonition that your health could be in jeopardy with a long hospital stay or illness. Others may interpret the man lying entombed to be a signal that you need to take a break from something that is stressing you out or making you feel tired all of the time.It may be time to take a sabbatical from work or school to get the rest you need.

In some cases, the card may mean you just need a few days away in a tropical location to recharge and refocus again.Work, kids or other things may be getting to you, and a simple trip by yourself could help you feel better again.

Having this card show up in your reading about your love life isn’t a great sign of the health of your relationship. You may need to consider a separation or a complete break from your partner if things are bad.After a rest away, you can get back to your life and find more happiness and success.

Interpretation

You are currently enjoying a period of calm, both in your love life and in your professional life. You have recently gone through a lot of disruption, which has had a lasting impact on your mood and your energy level. To avoid the risk of burnout, you have chosen to give yourself some respite, so you can recharge your batteries and take a thorough look at your life. I can only congratulate you on this wise step!

The presence of the Four of Swords in your draw testifies to the lively intelligence and lucid mind that have characterized you for many years. These qualities are essential to your fulfillment. They allow you to quickly understand the implications of a situation and to define meticulously detailed action plans. Thanks to them, you should easily be able to achieve the goals that are important to you. However, you sometimes have a tendency to rely too much on your intellectual faculties. Don't forget to give your intuitive side a chance too, and open yourself to your emotions, which are also precious facets of your personality.

Ask yourself

•Sometimes you may be so focused on each day’s responsibilities that you forget to make time to digest the bigness of your life. Do need to take a rest and recharge your energy so you feel healthier and more energized?

•Based on all that has happened in your life, who are you really, and what is your life's purpose? 

•What are you finally coming to terms with, and how can you use this release to finally move forward with your own life?
