Five of Swords: Loss

The Five of Swords may not initially seem like a hugely positive card because it signifies loss, harshness, defeat and conflict. However, although it does signify that things are difficult, it also contains the message that something far better is right around the corner. It is likely that you have been fighting a losing battle with something or someone. You’ve attempted to negotiate but the other party is not open to anything apart from what they think. Now is the time to shift your focus. Think of doing this as a form of health insurance you’re setting up for yourself. 

Think of Your Self-Care as a Form of Health Insurance 

It goes without saying that we all need health insurance in case we get ill. Bearing this in mind, it’s crucial to invest in your self-care right now. It can be considered to be a type of health insurance that you don’t need to pay for! Just by focusing on your inner happiness, you can and will create the life path that’s perfect for your needs.

Even though you might be currently feeling humiliated, drained or even betrayed, you can hold your head high knowing you gave things your best shot. You are now shifting your focus inwardly. It’s okay to grieve. Grieving is healthy. It gives you the opportunity to come to terms with events then to move on. 

The Future is Positive

Yes, there are conflicts in your life right now. These are draining your energy but it won’t always be this way. The problems in your life have been caused by someone who is jealous and insecure. You’ve done everything you can to attempt to fix things. That being said, it’s time to realise that this is a stagnant situation. There is no way of moving it forward. It’s outwith your hands.

So, accept this situation for what it is. Allow yourself to feel sad as you work through your feelings. There are no rights of wrongs. You’ll only end up hurting yourself further by holding on to any negative energy. It’s time to surround yourself with people who appreciate you.
