Four of Swords

The message in this card is very simple but very powerful. It should not be ignored or taken lightly. Rest, peace and quiet, and sanctuary are needed. This is not necessarily physical rest but mental.

Stress, heartbreak, anxiety and emotional upheaval may have played a part in your current state of mind. The best advice right now would be to seek solitude, peace, quiet and respite; maybe even retirement. This is a time to heal the mind.


Consider taking a vacation, seeking out a meditation class or finding a pastime that nurtures you and feeds your soul. If time and finances are restricted, search for free services and activities.


Remember when you were a child and life was free of worries and responsibilities? Look for that energy in all you do. It really is ok to say no to others. This is a time to take care of YOU.
