Five of Swords
The Five of Swords suggests the importance of recognizing that you cannot always be right and that minor disagreements should not damage meaningful relationships. It serves as a reminder to set aside your pride and to avoid letting the need to win overshadow the value of connections with others. In reversed position, it indicates a situation where one may have blown things out of proportion and the need to address and amend any wrongs caused.

Key Phrase
you can't be right all of the time.
Upright Meaning
"Whatever," the witch grumbles to herself, rolling her eyes as her friends walk away from her after a tense argument. "I guess some people just enjoy being wrong." What she fails to see is that no one was wrong in this situation—they just had a small, insignificant difference of opinion. If you find yourself in a situation like this, try not to let your need to be right get in the way of your meaningful relationships, because you may regret it later. Of course, there definitely can be situations that are that serious, but if you're pulling this card, then this probably isn't one of those instances. This doesn't have to be a battle. There's nothing to win, but there's everything to lose if you don't set your attitude aside.
Reversed Meaning
There may have been a situation where you viewed things way out of proportion, & now you refuse to fix it or even acknowledge your part in it. Those affected might not forgive you, but it's time to try to make some of those amends regardless.
