Okay, so I’ve been messing around with Tarot cards lately, just for fun, you know? And I kept pulling the 5 of Swords reversed when I was thinking about this one person… It was kinda freaking me out, so I decided to really dig in and figure out what the heck was going on.
First, I grabbed my favorite Tarot deck – the one with the really pretty artwork. I sat down at my kitchen table, lit a candle (ambiance is important, okay?), and shuffled the cards while focusing on my question: “What are this person’s feelings for me?” I spread the cards out, face down, and just let my intuition guide me. And boom, there it was again – 5 of Swords reversed.
Diving into the meaning of 5 of Swords reversed.
- I Looked at the card of the 5 of swords. Reversed cards can be tricky, It’s not always the opposite of the upright meaning. Sometimes it means the energy is blocked, or it’s manifesting in a weird, internal way.
- So I am consulting my go-to Tarot guidebook. You know, the one with all the dog-eared pages and notes scribbled in the margins?
- Then read, researched online, checked out a few different interpretations. Because, let’s be real, Tarot is super subjective.
The upright 5 of Swords is usually about conflict, disagreement, maybe even winning at all costs, even if it means being a jerk. But reversed… that’s where it gets interesting. Some interpretations talked about reconciliation, resolving past conflicts, or a willingness to compromise. Others mentioned repressed anger, resentment simmering under the surface, or even a fear of confrontation.
I spent a good hour just sitting there, staring at the card, thinking about the situation with this person, and flipping back and forth between different interpretations. I journaled a bit, free-writing whatever came to mind. It was kinda messy, all over the place, but it helped me to work some of the feeling with this person.
Finally, I felt like I had a better grasp on it. For this specific situation, with this person, I felt like the 5 of Swords reversed was pointing towards a desire to move past some old disagreements, a willingness to let go of past hurt, maybe even a hope for some kind of resolution. It wasn’t a clear-cut “they love me!” or “they hate me!” kind of answer. It was more nuanced, more about a shift in energy, a potential for things to change. And honestly, that felt pretty * will be needing more time to slove the issue.
So, yeah, that’s my little Tarot adventure for the day. It’s not an exact science, but it’s a fun way to explore my feelings and get a different perspective on things. And who knows, maybe it’ll help me navigate this whole messy situation a little bit better.
