Alright, so, I’ve been messing around with Tarot cards lately, just for fun, you know? And this one card, the Five of Swords, kept popping up. It’s kind of a weird one, with some dude looking all smug after what seems like a fight. So I got curious about what this card means for feelings, and I did a little experiment.
The Experiment
First, I pulled the card a few times while thinking about different people in my life – my best friend, my mom, an old flame, and even my current partner. I wanted to see if the card’s vibe changed depending on the relationship.
- Thinking about my best friend, the Five of Swords felt like a minor disagreement we had recently. Nothing major, but it definitely left a bit of tension.
- With my mom, it was more about past conflicts, old arguments that still lingered somewhere in the background.
- For the old flame, it was a strong sense of defeat, like the relationship ended with someone feeling hurt and maybe a little resentful.
- And with my current partner, it felt like a warning. Like we needed to be careful not to let small issues escalate into bigger fights.
Then, I decided to focus on an ex. I shuffled the deck, focused on them, and pulled the Five of Swords again. This time, I really tried to tune into what the card was saying about their feelings.
It was kind of intense. I got this feeling that they were all mixed up inside – a bit defeated, for sure, but also maybe angry and defensive. Like they’d lost a battle, but they weren’t ready to admit it. Maybe they were even regretting something, but their pride was getting in the way.
Honestly, it was a bit of a downer. But it also made sense. Our breakup wasn’t exactly smooth, and I guess it’s not surprising that there would still be some unresolved feelings. And this experience makes me understand this card better, especially regarding feelings after a conflict.
Anyway, it was a pretty interesting little experiment. It’s amazing how these cards can tap into emotions like that. It’s like they’re a mirror, reflecting back the messy stuff that’s often hidden beneath the surface.
