IV Four of Swords

The Four of Swords indicates a conflict. It could be an internal or external conflict, but the card suggests that you should isolate yourself from the situation at hand to rest and reflect a little. Whether it is a loss you have suffered or an important decision to make, regain the energy to leave the sadness behind and move on. If you have to decide between something, analyze the situation well before making your decision.

In the Four of Swords, we see a tomb with a statue of a person lying on top. The statue appears to pray and the tomb appears to be inside a church, symbolizing a period where you must rest and reflect.

There are 3 swords above the statue on the wall. Another sword is engraved on the tomb, representing the situation that is dominating your thoughts at the moment. It suggests that in order to resolve your issues and move forward, you must gather your energies and think about the best way.
