Five of Swords
The Five of Swords depicts a small kittycorn clutching swords while others walk away, symbolizing a victory that can sting and isolate. Upright, it warns of winning through sharp words or clever tactics that may fracture friendships and leave the victor lonely. The card also highlights strategy, boundary-setting, and standing your ground when necessary, while reminding you to weigh the cost of conflict.

Visual Description
A small white kittycorn with a rainbow horn and tail stands in shallow water, clutching several blue swords with golden hilts. Two gleaming swords are planted in the water before it while two little figures walk away toward low green hills. The sky is a soft pastel gradient with a pale sun, scattered birds, and gentle clouds framing the scene.
Meaning
The kittycorn stands with a handful of swords while others turn and walk away — a playful but pointed picture of a win that might sting. Upright, the Five of Swords carries the taste of victory won by sharp words or clever tactics, a smug little triumph that can leave the winner oddly lonely and the playground quieter. It nudges you to notice the cost of getting what you want: were the stakes worth the friendships frayed or the wounded pride left behind? The card also whispers of strategy and standing your ground when boundary-setting is needed, reminding you that not every skirmish is avoidable. In reverse the scene softens; regret, apology, or the choice to put down your sword and make amends become possible and restorative. The kittycorn invites you to learn when to retreat and when to repair, turning a hollow victory into a lesson about humility, courage, and kinder wins that keep hearts whole.
