Five of Swords
The Five of Swords calls for accepting your own limitations and those of others instead of insisting on victory. It warns that the distinction between winning and losing is largely illusory and that prolonged conflict leaves no true winners. You may be facing an internal clash between your moral values and your actions, indicating the need for ethical realignment. Embrace a more spiritual, balanced approach, avoid excessive idealism, and seek harmony through the middle way.

Visual Description
A grassy burial mound holds five swords thrust into the earth before a weathered tombstone. Two small, smiling ghost figures hover nearby—one stands with arms crossed and a proud grin, the other perches on a stone and looks away with a shy expression. A full moon glows behind layered, colorful clouds while two bats drift across the sky. The scene is rendered in soft, warm tones with gentle highlights on the ghosts' rosy cheeks.
