Meaning

It's time to rest and recover. Pull back from the world, and take some time to think about your existence. It is not something to take lightly, and you must consider the end you are heading toward. Perhaps a recent injury or conflict is causing you to have a think about the path you're on and whether you're going in the right direction. It's important that you allow yourself to do this.

Visual Description

A young person lies on a plaid couch wearing headphones, eyes closed, hands behind their head. A tall rectangular mirror or panel stands vertically in front of the figure, reflecting a stone tomb with a single upright sword above a recumbent armored figure whose hands are folded. To the left a window shows a cityscape and to the right a red poster depicts three standing figures holding swords. A yellow electric guitar, a glass, papers and scattered objects lie on the floor before the couch; the printed title "FOUR of SWORDS." appears at the bottom.
