Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into Tarot lately, trying to, you know, get a better handle on my emotions and stuff. Today, I pulled the Five of Swords reversed, and I was like, “Okay, what’s this all about?” So I grabbed my journal and started digging in.
My Five of Swords Reversed Deep Dive
First, I laid out my favorite deck. It’s nothing fancy, just a standard Rider-Waite, but I feel connected to it. I shuffled the cards, really focusing on my feelings, trying to be present, you know? Then, I pulled the card: Five of Swords, reversed.
I jotted down my initial reaction. Honestly, it was kinda relief. The upright Five of Swords is all about conflict and winning at all costs, and it just felt heavy. Reversed, it felt…lighter. Like maybe things weren’t so cutthroat.
Next, I grabbed my go-to Tarot book – seriously, this thing is my bible. I flipped to the Five of Swords section and started reading about the reversed meaning. It talked about things like reconciliation, compromise, and letting go of past disagreements. Huh, interesting.
- Reconciliation: This resonated. I’ve been having this ongoing tension with a friend, and it’s been exhausting.
- Compromise: Ugh, not my strong suit. I tend to dig my heels in.
- Letting Go: This felt HUGE. Holding onto grudges just drains my energy.
Then, I started brainstorming. I wrote down everything that came to mind, free-associating. I thought about that tension with my friend, and how much I actually missed our connection. I considered the possibility of reaching out, maybe apologizing for my part in the whole mess. The thought was scary, but also…kind of freeing.
I also thought about it more generally my feelings. I listed some other situation where i have problem about feelings.
- Work issues: Always want to do perfectly.
- Family issues: Be patient.
- Relationship issues: Try to communicate more.
Finally, I decided on a small action step. I drafted a text to my friend. Nothing major, just a “Hey, how are you doing?” It felt like a good first step, a way to test the waters. Also I wrote down all feelings solutions in other field I listed.
So, yeah, that’s my Five of Swords reversed experience. It went from “Uh oh, what’s this?” to “Okay, I can work with this.” It’s still a process, but I feel like I’ve got a little more clarity, and a little more hope, about moving forward. Pretty cool, right?
