Tarot Cards Meaning - The Four of Swords

inaction or stagnation ~ withdrawing or running away ~ balance ~

--

The Four of Swords heralds the need for peace and quiet. It is the recognition that we cannot always be goal-setting or achieving; sometimes we need to step back a little and contemplate our situation - perhaps even contemplate whether we should be in a particular situation at all.

When we quieten our lives down enough, we are more able to hear our inner voice which can advise us on the healthiest path for us. This may be to rest awhile, to regroup our resources or learn to enjoy stillness. This may represent a battle for many of us, as there are so many distractions in life. Thus remember the words: "What profiteth a man who gaineth the world yet loses his soul?"
