The Five of Swords indicates that the Consultant is in conflict and disagreement with one or more people around him and that this causes tension and stress. Even if the Consultant thinks “winning this battle”, he or she may lose in the medium term because the conflict has degraded communication and relations between the people concerned. The Consultant may have hurt them by his words or his actions. Confidence is lost. The Consultant must decide whether he wants to stay his position and risk escalating the conflict even more, or if he wants to pour water into his wine to save what can be and mend the relationship.
The Five of Swords also represents ambition at its most negative, which is an over-the-top, selfish ambition that involves crushing others in order to be successful. The Consultant can be the initiator or the victim of such destructive ambition. In either case, the Consultant will learn the hard way that the price of victory is sometimes bitter.
The Five of Swords is often associated with betrayal, a “surprise attack” by someone the Consultant trusts and who has never been considered an enemy. It can be the Consultant’s partner, a close friend, a family member or professional circle. The other Cards in the Draw give indications of the origin and nature of the betrayal. The Consultant must be very careful and be extra vigilant.
Finally, the Five of Swords can symbolize defeat. Despite great efforts, the Consultant is beaten, defeated. You have to accept defeat, learn from it and learn from it. The Consultant must not be put down. On the contrary ! This is a chance to put in place what will lead to success.
When it comes to money and finances, the Five of Swords is linked to theft and betrayal. If the Consultant has to make an important financial decision, it must be ensured that the situation is “healthy”. There could be “deception of the commodity”. If the opportunity seems too good to be true, extreme caution should be exercised and professional advice should be sought. If the Consultant is worried, if the attitude of someone close to him seems suspicious … caution! He can do things behind his back.
If the Consultant is looking for Love and the Five of Swords appears in the Draw, it means that he or she has not yet found his / her Soulmate and that his / her love affair is difficult. The Consultant has the feeling of always being fooled, of always being hurt by the other, rejected, unloved. It is possible that the Consultant is too “soft” and constantly bends to the wishes of others… or on the contrary that the Consultant is too insistent with potential partners. Either way, a balance must be found and a new strategy must be put in place to remove the blockages.
If the Consultant is currently in a relationship, the Five of Swords indicates that the relationship is in trouble, that conflicts are increasing and tension is mounting. Partners need to accept each other with kindness and listen to each other. Harsh and hurtful words were no doubt exchanged. If the Consultant wants to mend the relationship, you have to forgive, communicate, and get off to a good start. It means accepting responsibility for one’s actions, making amends, asking for forgiveness… and accepting and forgiving the other’s apologies.
