Card 54 • swords

Five of Swords

Brief Description

The Five of Swords indicates conflict, regret, and the lingering consequences of disputed victories, often leaving bad blood. It suggests that closure may be impossible and emphasizes the need to choose a path forward rather than dwelling on the past or insisting on being right. Reversed, the card points to the possibility of forgiveness, healing, and attempts at reconciliation if one is willing to release anger. While outcomes aren't guaranteed, making the effort to right wrongs and seek peace holds transformative potential.
