The Chariot Tarot Card Meaning

In all tarot decks I own this is a card is about movement. My card above indicates movement on the chariot pulled by the two horses. It is about what is coming next and action in your life. When this appears in my readings it means that now is an excellent time in your life to consider what you can do to cut back. 

Rather than thinking of your journey as one vacation, the chariot usually indicates something a tad more active, a journey of the spiritual sense or even one for work and finance. Whatever struggle you are going through in your life right now, do not worry that it is going to be all for nothing. The Chariot assures you that you are definitely going places!

This is a card of exploration and expansion that guides you on a journey that you are about to take or one that you may possibly be started on already. It is not an easy ride as a chariot is not a modern vehicle of comfort. It is a time to think about getting back to the basics, lessening your load, and simplifying your life before you engage on the road ahead. 

The Chariot has symbolism present is often interpreted as balancing out opposite forces. There is much duality in the colors of the card which state that you need to make sure that you are rationing out your efforts at this time. Pulling ahead too quickly will fatigue you and you will become too tired to complete your task. Approaching your challenges with a slow or delayed speed will cause you to not reach your intended destination.

Also depicted in the card is the rider on top of an enclosed carriage. We can only view the top half of the rider, and he is ready for battle. He is prepared for challenges that lie ahead. The colors are rich in symbolism reflecting thought and emotion. While this is a card of action, often that action is an internal struggle. It is either a battle of wills or a personal dragon that must be slayed. Whatever it is that you are facing right now, the Chariot says, “Don’t stop. Don’t give up.”

As you persevere and move forward on your path you will engage in many obstacles. These hurdles that you encounter are ones that you will learn from. You are about to receive a life lesson of sorts and while you may feel that you are going through a rough patch understand that it is through experience that we all learn.

The Chariot in Love

Often a card that comes up after a relationship has ended or during an exceptionally difficult time, the Chariot reminds you that this too shall pass. Things are being set in motion regarding matters of the heart and what you feel right now is only a temporary hurdle. You need to strengthen your resolve and protect your emotions. You are likely to find that you either want to run from your relationship or that you already feel alone.

The Chariot as Love Reconciliation

Love is a journey towards our destiny. Pause because I want to say this, this card promises reconciliation in its chariot - a cycle of love and redemption. Those wheels of fire lead us forward in learning that understanding leads to reconciliation with one another. The other individual is saying, "I see you and I understand." It is a never ending journey of becoming more awake and purposeful in this never ending chorus of love and conflict. We must run to our future together with open hearts for the world to stand in oneness and harmony.

The Chariot As Feelings

For some people it means a struggle between the mind and some shadow side of life. A cancer card, the Chariot means "moving on" The two horses also are pulling in two directions which also means indecision. But one person is still undecided. But there's one thing - the reins are in one person's hand. This card may mean moving on and working on someone else. I fear it is a bad card for love.

The Chariot in Health

In Health the Chariot says that you have a long road ahead of you. Often it can represent health issues of the feet and issues with diabetes or digestion. Overall health shows that you are strong enough for a journey ahead and while there can be standard health issues associated with the card, rarely is it a sign of a deeper concern. The Chariot is an omen of vitality and youth.

The Chariot in Work, Money, Business, Career, and Wealth

In the way of work, most often the Chariot is seen when one is seeking a change in a job either due to unemployment or stagnation of a current career. It signifies that it is a great time to explore options of expansion and promotion. You also may find when this card is present that work will require unexpected travel that will also come with prestige and increased revenue. Strictly financially speaking, the Chariot says you need to hold on to your money and it is a time of saving. While the work front may be offering more opportunities, do not forget that this is a card talking about a journey beginning. There are likely unexpected expenses coming your way that you need to be prepared for.

The Chariot As A person

As a person the Chariot to me, always represents the qualities of great power, independence and will power at its very best. This card as a person shows us we are going to evolve, learn how to use spiritual energy, how our choices can build momentum - how to twist into a path of strength, determination and finally progress. The Chariot is more than a card: It's a person! it's a reminder of strength and happiness found in just following your own path.

The Chariot In the Past Position

To draw this card in the past means that a period of crazy is over. It often means in my readings stress is coming to an end. That got you where you are now. The past Chariot is basically proof that things have stopped being so demanding. Just proof you never gave up when it got tough. 

The Chariot In The Present Position

You've done the hard bit already. So that is what that card is telling you. That got you where you are now, something in your past, whether it was a decision or a push, that was it. You may not even realize how far you came because you were moving too quickly recently. In my view, the past Chariot is basically proof. Just proof you never gave up when it got tough. And hey - whatever it is that you have to face right now, you already proved you are able to handle it. You have done it before, you just forgot. Things right now may seem sped up and that is my honest reading of the present chariot position.

The Chariot In The Future Position

Drawing this card for the future in my readings mean real action and movement. The Chariot in the future position always means it is time. It could be a trip, a new chapter, a situation which picks you up and takes you somewhere you have not been before. Not that you have to have everything worked out yet. The card isn't telling you to stop everything . For me, it means that your foundation is laid - even if it does not feel like it now. Get ready to move!

The Chariot As Friendship Or Family

It's a good sign when the Chariot shows up in a family or friendship reading. That means whatever this group has gone through together maybe even arguments, rough patches, messy moments but in my view... nothing has broken the bond. You move together, not necessarily at the same speed, not necessarily in complete agreement (as we all have family conflict at some stage), but you're going in the same direction and no one gets left behind. That is more rare than people think.
 

The Chariot Yes or No

The Chariot “Yes or No” in my view is a “maybe” this is because it’s sitting between two opposites. The Chariot is about movement and determination but it also has that pulling of two forces. So, in my readings I try to read both situations or outcomes for the client. There is still something to decide or act on before the answer is clear. If you have a question or two to weigh in on, this card is telling you to pick a lanes.

 

The Chariot Reversed

The Chariot in the Reversed Position

The Chariot in the reversed position is showing that what you are doing in your life right is as about as effective as trying to make a horse run backwards. You need to take a look at your life and see in what ways you are trying to move mountains when you should be going around them and what aspects of your life are pulling you down. The movement of the Chariot card is still present but if you are fighting against it you are likely to find that resistance is futile. Life will continue to move forward with or without you. 

Love and Romance - The Chariot Reversed

Love and romance readings that draw the reversed Chariot can often feel like a carriage being pulled in two different directions: the ghosting, swiping left on Tinder, or becoming blocked by darkness. The Chariot reversed is a reminder that with love and romance we sometimes need for this to just be paused; just as the horses pulling the reins in my card, we at times turn away from our destination.

Family and Home - The Chariot Reversed

When the Chariot is reversed it can represent a lack of direction when it comes to family and home, which can be a difficult situation to face. Knowing what is important and understanding one's worth are keys to sorting out any conflict. A sense of security and belonging can help guide us while providing a foundation of strength, courage, and understanding. 

Work and Finances - The Chariot Reversed

The Chariot Reversed is a warning  about taking care of work. When I draw the Chariot reversed for such readings, it can mean ambition has taken us too far down the wrong path, normally away from values. I also think it encourages you to think about where things are heading. Are you going in the right direction? If not, make any necessary adjustments now before it’s too late. 

Health and Wellness - The Chariot Reversed

The chariot reversed is a reminder of how essential it is to nurture our physical and emotional wellbeing. It encourages us to slow down and take the time to really listen to yourself. The reversed Chariot's is saying please, just slow down, examine what's really getting you down. This is practical and not dramatic. 

Personal Spirituality - The Chariot Reversed

I think that if the Chariot reversed is in a spread then for you personally in terms of your spiritual life it is all about a growing spiritual awareness. It represents that first step, the key journey - the courage, the determination and the commitment required to achieve anything worthwhile. A moral compass allows us to proceed with courage.

In personal spirituality one is reminded of one's own inner voice reminding us of our purpose so that whatever life throws our way we are able to face each difficult problem head on.

In my view, the Chariot is a powerful card, and it can represent many things in a reading. Love, reconciliation, friendship, family - all of these are represented by the cats looking at the chariot in my tarot cards. Chariots can also represent strife or conflict, but I must admit that they can also be positive. The Chariot may represent some problems in one's life when reversed. 

The High Priestess

 
 
 

High Priestess Tarot Card Meaning

If you get this card popping up, no-one can work out what is going on or what you are thinking. There is a massive psychic vibe with her. The high priestess is the ultimate symbol of balance and manifestation. She is the card of secrets and affairs. If you receive the High Priestess in your reading then the time has come for you to understand the balance necessary to get what you want out of life. She is the mystery of the mother, of the moon and of life. The High Priestess is a guiding card, telling you that right now you are on a path of enlightenment. It can represent multiple aspects of your life showing a true understanding of your own wants and needs. Now is the time to follow on your instincts and trust that inner feeling. You know you better than anyone else and that means that you also know what is best for you. It is okay to seek advice from others but make sure that their wants for you are not overshadowing what your own heart tells you.
 

The deeper meaning of the High Priestess card is strong as sits in between two stone stone pillars symbolic of the negative life force) and symbolic of positive life force) - and this is YOU trying to balance the two. On her lap which is not visible on my tarot card is the Torah which means ‘Divine Law,’ something that isn’t meant for all to see. When you receive the High Priestess, you can expect the question to be around great mystery, which can be attainable if you allow yourself to practice listening to your intuition. This card is saying you must find time to quiet the mind and have patience as well as trust that the process will help you and then the truth will come over you like a sun rising over the horizon. This may take some time to perfect, as it is a practice like anything else, but the High Priestess is the manifestation of the desires of the Magician. She is the connecting force between the heavens and the Earth. Depend on her to bless your Will. Here is a tarot poem I have written about my card above, take in the words in order to understand the meaning.

The High Priestess in Love

The pomegranates behind the High Priestess are symbolic of feminine energy and the palm leaves are symbolic of masculine energy, thus also making her the ‘go to’ energy, this is the reminder that all energies around us are both masculine as well as feminine. This helps a lot when it comes to relationships. The High Priestess shows up when in Love someone does not know how you feel. Even deeper, when the High Priestess shows up in relation to a reading on love one must accept the possibility that not all is being seen in the relationship as you are suppose to. She helps solve issues where there is a disagreement between partners, she assists by providing intuition that enables partners to communicate and get to the center of the issue. The key always with the High Priestess is to know that she has something to tell you which is very important, that you will not understand without her assistance and then make sure to listen. In matters of the heart this is doubly important. To find out more about the high priestess in love readings click here

Warning: She Is The Affair Card

A note of warning with the High Priestess is that she can also be guiding you to seek out the truth in a relationship. If you have concern in your relationship it is exceptionally important to follow your instincts, but to do so in a way that is not a detriment to you or the relationship. Just because you have a feeling of insecurity does not mean that your partner is cheating on you. Often we are sensitive to specific issues but the situation is not as dire as it seems. Take advice from surrounding cards to get a clear idea of what is going on in love before acting or jumping to conclusions.

Depending on the love reading, I sometimes call this card “the Inappropriate affair warning” card. To me, this card represents a passionate relationship but sometimes morally “wrong” relationship. Think of: your best friend's husband, that married guy next door, or the old Manager you worked with. 

Maybe a situationship or simply more about wanting someone to be more than they can be, emotional-availability wise. When we are afraid of intimacy, we may choose Mr. or Ms. emotionally unavailable. If the focus of our affection is an emotional stuff that is going on with you right now.

The High Priestess As Feelings

Despite being an elegant lady, she holds all her cards close to her chest. When asking about feelings, this card has this energy. The feelings can get lost in the dark with her, secret passages, not replying to texts and locked diaries. When things go wrong for her, she asks "who's fault is this?". Her true feelings are hidden from you. When you ask the tarot cards "what he feels about you", he stays silent. In his mind, he likely feels that he wants to "tilt" the balance in some way, and that he knows what you are thinking from his inner knowing and psychic understanding. 

In many ways this card represents the feelings of a platonic relationship but also that the potential lover is willing to explore that beyond the friendship realms. The high priestess is in charge, but her feelings fluctuate, as if in a cycle. Like the moon phases, or seasons. A reversed high priestess for feelings is linked to Isis (the Virgin) and can show that self-sacrifice is coming.

The High Priestess As Love Reconciliation

It is common, very common to worry about if someone feels the same way about us -- for a human being to feel this way, we often find ourselves re-visiting this state frequently. The High Priestess, on my tarot card is surrounded by blond hair wearing a moon crown, which is the symbol of insight and knowledge. Almost every smart person will know that we cannot force someone to do something we want. It can feel like your insides are being ripped out when our lover leaves. In drawing her, keep in mind that she is the teacher of both spiritual and physical mysteries. This image above is a representation of the journey of life and love experienced by people in tarot readings. It indicates that there is more to your life than meets the eye - it's time to dig deeper. This figure symbolizes the wisdom of knowing when to keep your feelings close while still maintaining a connection between two people. It's a reminder that sharing your innermost thoughts and emotions with someone can sometimes be hard, but that's part of what makes a relationship strong. She also stresses the importance of tolerance, comprehension, and receptivity - all of which are crucial aspects if you want to shack up with this person again.  Maybe --- just maybe you will get back together with someone after a separation or break up. The reason I mention this is because the high priestess knows about secrets --- and hardships when it comes to love but chooses to hide emotions. So thank your lucky stars she has appeared, because there is still a possibility that this love will return unexpectedly.

The High Priestess in Health

The High Priestess appears when it is necessary to focus on matters such as reproductive health. Due to her balancing abilities, she can be an excellent patron helper for birth control, or producing the proper reproductive hormones, balancing estrogen and testosterone. If there is confusion within this section of the body, ask the High Priestess for help to remove the shadows that darken that area so that the trouble can be brought to light.

The High Priestess in Work, Money, Business, Career, and Wealth

The High Priestess helps in matters of business and wealth in the sense that if you are about to get into a business with someone else, or are going through legal issues; she will help you to shed light on all that you are not aware of. This could mean paperwork that you need to sign that you weren’t aware of will come up, or the proper assistance to get your business up and running will just show up. Expect clarity and certainty in matters of business. The High Priestess clears out the sullied waters so that they shine with the vision of your future.

The High Priestess As An Action

There are times in our lives when we feel lost and uncertain, a tarot reading can help in these difficult times. As an action meaning, the High Priestess tarot card focuses on keeping secrets, pulling back, pausing, and observing. In some cases, being clueless can give us a fresh perspective and new insight into the unknown. By allowing harmony between our inner and outer worlds (our spiritual world), she allows us to turn inward and understand ourselves better. The High Priestess suggests you should take charge and listen to your inner voice. If you are feeling lost, don't hesitate to ask your “inner guide” assistance. You can always count on yourself to guide you back on track. Intuition, self-reflection, and awareness are all aspects of the meaning of the wonderful High Priestess Tarot card.

The High Priestess As A Person

In a tarot reading, the High Priestess represents someone who is highly intuitive and in touch with their spiritual side. If I am reading for a client I feel she is very wise and can provide guidance to others. As they keep their own counsel, they can also be very mysterious -- often not willing to share her emotions. To me, the High Priestess can represent someone who withholds information or who is secretive in reversed tarot readings. In my experience, the High Priestess tarot card can be interpreted in a few different ways, but most tarot readers agree that she is a knowledgeable, wisdom-filled individual. Despite living in her own little world, she doesn't need anyone's approval. Feelings of calm and peace can be represented by the High Priestess. There is often a transition or transformation happening in the life of the client when this card appears in a reading. We are reminded to trust our intuition and go with the flow when we meet the High Priestess.

The High Priestess As A Yes Or No

I feel that the High Priestess represents a “Yes” answer upright. Whenever I need a straight answer, I've always trusted this card when it has appeared in my reading. Like the character in the shining, I picture her as a blank canvas, guiding me with a gentle whisper. I have always relied on the high priestess as a “No” indicator when reversed. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to fully explain why I trust her in these matters, but I do. I find myself expecting her to appear for advice on anything from small decisions to big ones, somehow transferring energy from her blank canvas to mine. Whenever I need guidance...or at least someone to lean on when I feel uncertain, she has become a kind of omniscient character in my tarot readings and shines through. To find out more about the high priestess in love readings click here

The High Priestess In The Past Position

The High Priestess that appears in the past position of a tarot reading carries a long-held, popular belief that anything hidden was revealed by looking deeply enough. In order to better guide ourselves into the future, we should look back and reflect on our actions and intentions from the past. In order for us to create a more positive landscape for the future, she invites us to observe how far we have come and what elements from the past need to be changed or released. We can gain timeless wisdom through digging into her message, as well as understand how powerful this figure can be in inspiring strength and courage within all of us.

The High Priestess In The Present Position

A stunning blonde haired High Priestess appears on my tarot card with a slow and tranquil nature. She invites us to embrace the nervousness we might feel when contemplating the unknown; to be comfortable enough in our own skin to look deeply at ourselves and trust the insights we uncover. Trusting our intuition and following it without fear will lead us down a path of transformation and renewal. We are encouraged by the High Priestess' appearing in the present position during a tarot reading --- to take the time to understand everyone's feelings and follow life with patience and love.

The High Priestess In The Future Position

In a tarot reading, the high priestess in the future position indicates deep inner wisdom, reflection, and a connection to the celestial world. This card often represents the Egyptian goddess Isis - known as the mother of creation - and suggests that despite our inability to control our fate, we can move forward with confidence through contemplation and acceptance. It could be said that the High Priestess represents energy that moves slowly but surely in its own time. As with Isis, in the future, the card is telling you to trust your power and journey and you will move into your own destiny - you will be guided by deep inner wisdom when you draw her in the future or outcome position.

The High Priestess In The Family or Friendship Position

Drawing the high priestess in a friendship or family position is associated with relationships. It indicates that you need balance and harmony, according to the High Priestess tarot card. Her message may encourage family members to nurture their existing connections and listen to one another without judgment. Also, this card suggests encouraging communication and compromise among loved ones in order to avoid disharmony caused by disagreements or misunderstandings. I often see this card appear when there has been some conflict in the past. Our lives can be balanced and stabilized when we invest in meaningful relationships, as represented by the High Priestess tarot card. By investing time together or showing appreciation for one another, it may serve as a reminder in this spread position to nurture our friendships and not take them for granted.

 

The High Priestess Reversed

The High Priestess In Reversed Position

When you receive the High Priestess in the reversed position, this is symbolic that you are completely detached from your intuition. Messages are being sent to you, but you are experiencing a block due to a lack of desire and momentum. The best advice that the High Priestess in Reverse has to offer is that it is time to open up your chakras and allow the spirit to move through you. Meditate, meditate, meditate!

Love and Romance - The High Priestess Reversed

Attraction is set to a high heat, but like flying too close to the sun, this lust comes with its own complications. Are the actions of your partner or a love interest hard to understand? It can seem that the motivations of others are unclear to you, like you’re seeing everything through a veil – leaving you feeling frustrated. You must practice extra consideration in such a moment as this, and don’t let any increased romantic attention distract you from thinking things through. If you meditate on the situation before, it is like planning your route before and adventure, everything goes more smoothly and makes the journey more enjoyable. It also means taking the time to forgive people where necessary - it is always better to forgive and forget than let yourself become bitter with resentment. All in all, the reversed priestess tells you to tread carefully in the romance department; don’t let impulses make big decisions for you. 

Family and Home - The High Priestess Reversed

Every family and home can swerve off-kilter at times, even the best holiday location must weather the occasional storm. When the High Priestess reversed appears in this type of reading it can highlight an undercurrent of discontentment within the family home. It may be that you, or someone else in the family, hasn’t been themselves recently. You should be wary of outside influences impacting the family dynamic – what’s haunting your family? Perhaps bickering and minor disagreements are making the home feel like a hostile place. You can try and placate the situation by taking time out to think things over and putting in place new boundaries that avoid conflict and make everybody feel comfortable; when you’re all ease, harmony will naturally restore like calm after the storm.

Work and Finances - The High Priestess Reversed

While you fix your eyes on the horizon, scheming and secrecy unravels behind your back. Could there be a double agent or a trickster in your midst? Be extra vigilant with your finances and be sure that no one is being deceitful in your place of work. If you are currently considering making a big financial commitment, such as buying a home or going on holiday, make sure you have full clarity and disclosure before proceeding. Verifiable information is the best way to avoid any suspicious activity that might be going on behind your back at present. If you are, yourself, acting in a shady manner at work - you should watch your step. Someone may be savvy to your secrets. The best route forward for you now is honesty and transparency, the priestess reminds you that honesty is truly the best policy.

Health and Wellness - The High Priestess Reversed

The picture is in front of you, but shapes are not seen - like looking at the sky without a telescope, you’re lacking detail and clarity in the picture of your health. Now may be the time to book in a check-up and look for signs of anything that feels different or unusual. If you have already had a medical check-up recently you should seek a second opinion, this reversed card suspects everything isn’t as it seems. Do not panic, but remember that sometimes even small things are best addressed early. 

Don’t forget wellness extends to your mental state too - if you’ve been dealing with repressed emotions now may be the time to seek out a therapist to work through these feelings, like changing your bedsheets, it will make you feel better. Working through your old problems will make you feel better and help you move forward with your life. And, don’t forget, you should always supplement any medical and mental attention you receive with a healthy lifestyle to maximize its positive impact – like taking vitamins to enhance your diet. 

The High Priestess Reversed - Personal Spirituality

I always find that when the card comes out for our own personal growth or spirituality then something is blocked. This is likely unintentional, perhaps you have become wrapped up in daily life and have been missing the signals? This card, is urging you to pay extra attention to messages from your subconscious, they may come in the form of dreams or stray thoughts - your angels are probably trying to tell you something, you simply need to listen.

The Four of Swords

 
 
 

The Four Of Swords Tarot Card Meaning

When the Four of Swords appears in your reading your ability to negotiate circumstances that are not to your liking is magnified tenfold.

You are a flexible person; you wish to have a commitment in you life that stays in balance, which is not fluid. Now is the time for you to balance your emotional self, your spiritual self and your physical desires so that they do not control you. When life is swinging out of control it makes you feel as though it is impossible to settle, you become like a feather in the wind, flying from one experience to the next, never truly gaining satisfaction. Hence the Four of Swords is advising you now to pull all of the extroverted tendencies inward.

The image of the Four of Swords in the deck shows the quietness of a church with a stained glass window being the only opportunity to see the light from outside. In this you know that the world exists, but in your own unique experience the Church allows peace of mind and creativity that can only be found from reflection. A knight lies in effigy upon his tomb. His hands are folded together in a prayer. This is symbolic of a time of peace after war, the necessity to contemplate one’s future moves. The Hermit, a card of complete and utter introspection and wisdom gathering is influenced by this card. This is the pose that the Hermit takes before he makes the decision to go up to the mountain. Everyone needs to get away sometimes. This is your time. There is no hurry, you must renew your mental energies and right your thoughts.

You must be willing as well as able to face the problems that have presented themselves to you. You cannot ignore them, for that is extremely unhealthy. You know that you are capable of establishing your own sense of harmony so you just need to recuperate. While taking this time in the Metaphorical church, remember that this is only a temporary phase in your life. You must not allow this repose to be your forever constant position, for that would be counterproductive. Use this time to the best of your ability and let it be something that guides you and brings you inevitable fulfillment in a real way. Compose yourself and meditate, regrow your sense of balance. This card is a symbol for you of centering your thoughts on a solid mental foundation. You will get through this and when you do you will have a stronger sense of identity than ever before. You will be able to use your planning, rational mind to your benefit and achieve a great many things.

The Four of Swords in Love

If you are currently experiencing a level of single hood, the Four of Swords in Love is telling you that you must be introspective about what it is that you truly hope to get out of the pursuit of love. In this you have been so extroverted that you are not connecting to anyone of lasting value, therefore you are going through a phase of feeling empty and frustrated to the extreme. All that you must do to remedy this situation is to spend some time with yourself for a while so that you can determine what the best next step is going to be for you. You need to establish what about you need to change to attract someone that will be with you for the long term.

Within a relationship, the Four of Swords also encourages the same level of introspection except in this sense; you and your partner have lost a sense of who you are separate of your relationship. Now you must take the time to both ponder who you are outside of the relationship so that you can healthily bring something positive to the table. This is the best way to work through relationship troubles. If the relationship is not strong enough to handle the time that you both need to be alone then that speaks volumes of the condition of your relationship. Seek counseling if it is hard to speak to one another about your problems.

The Four of Swords in Health

There will be a time of introspection and dormancy in your life when the Four of Swords appears in your reading about health. Meaning that your physical body has been through a lot and you need to actually lay flat without moving for a while to allow for it to heal and re-energize.

The Four of Swords in Work and Wealth

The Four of Swords in your Work and Wealth life shows that there is a detachment from what it is that you want in your work life, your finances have been in an upheaval for so long you do not even feel like it is possible to ever feel better about it. However this card is one of repose, so you must allow yourself some downtime to process your emotions so that you can make informed decisions about where your investments should go. Trust your inner voice. In work the four of swords indicates you are burned out. It is time to rest. This rest will help in the long-term.

Four of Swords in business

In business, this is quite an interesting card, it can indicate that we need refresh ourselves. The four of swords may imply that in your job you will earn money without the stress, so you can take time out and relax. This indicates that you do need to take a break. At times, this card can indicate taking on too much work and you need to take some time out and prioritize your work. Maybe hire someone who can help as you are simply taking on too much. 

The Four of Swords Reversed

Reversed Meaning Of The Four Of Swords

At this point in your life, if you have received the Four of Swords in the reversed position then you have allowed your lifetime responsibilities to become too much for you to bear. Now is the time for you pursue advice from your higher self, or connect to your highest vision of a universal god form so that you can get back to your peaceful solitude. You will be able to get back to yourself again, and there are a good many opportunities ahead of you. Though you may experience opposing energies or find that it is too hard to get moving, you just need to recognize where you are at and allow yourself to pursue peace.
