Five of Swords
Positive
Self-interest, Survival Mode, Defeat
- Be careful that winning doesn't put you in danger of losing a relationship or your reputation.
- Never let a fear of being wrong be led by a fear of losing control. Your ego could be behind all of it.
- Beware your victory doesn't isolate you from others. An end to a battle is not the battle's end.
- Is the price of winning worth the reward? Would accepting defeat be more acceptable?
- Look at your own way with a critical eye. Fine-tune the places that need improvement.
- Give others what they need to better themselves.
Negative
Amend, Conflict, Forgive and Forget, Open to Change
- Tension drains your magic. Release the tension, protect your magic.
- Your opinions are validated by YOURself. Go in and move out. Be authentic.
- Who do you need to be right with? Begin negotiations. Disregard fallacy and see the human in front of you.
- Not everyone will share your joy of living your life your way.
- To thine own self be true, in loving and caring ways.
