Four of Swords

Traditional Meaning

Rest. Timeout to recover.

Going Deeper

This card symbolises peace and a temporary sense of order. Coming after the three of swords, feeling calm can be a welcome relief. Time out may be needed for rest and recovery after a difficult or challenging period. It's a good card to get when you're ill or under the weather because it shows that healing will come. I find this card a bit of a pain if I want excitement, as life is often quiet under the influence of this card. If you've been experiencing high levels of stress, then the four of swords' appearance indicates that you'll soon be able to get your thoughts together.

Astro Insight

Jupiter in Libra which represents an ability to see both sides of the situation but also a need to be more rational about things and weigh up any possibilities before passing judgement.

Examples With Other Cards

With the eight of pentacles, it emphasises recovery from illness. With a court card: it could symbolise help from an outside source. Justice will suggest decisions being made by someone higher up the ladder and may even relate to legal matters.
