Five of Swords
Are you caught in a battle of words with another person? Such as a quarrel that has gone too far and neither of you want to be the first to admit they are wrong?
With Sun opposite Uranus today this is exactly the kind of situation you could find yourself in. You will have to keep your temper in check and not let anyone else push your buttons.
If you are not careful you may lose the other person from your life. If you are involved in any legal matters then be sure you have all your facts correct and indeed have all the relevant facts of the matter to hand.
The Five of Swords often indicates a situation where someone is not playing fair. If this is the case with you, remember you don’t have to stick around.
Notice the man in the card with the sword raised high in his hands, ready to cut off from the matter, take his losses and leave.
Walking away is always better than engaging in confrontations, especially in this case as there are no winners.
This is a card about words and intellect (as shown by the swords). Often our words can wound another person emotionally and we do not realize we have done so.
Yet even as the words leave our mouth we are also hurting ourselves as can be seen from the placement of the sword about to cut the center of both bodies in this image.
If you find yourself at odds with another person think carefully before you lash out with words towards them as you may be causing yourself as much pain as you are inflicting upon them.
