Four of Swords

This card is about taking a breather. It's about realizing the difficulties and distruptions in our lives and giving us ways to cope. It doesn’t look like this guy is doing much breathing, so this can represent meditation and the challenge to be still and quiet for a while. This card is about resting and relaxing. Sometimes we may need to take a bit of a retreat from our everyday lives for reflection and contemplation. It’s about making leisure time to think things over and find peace. This card can also represent any type of confinement such as a stay in the hospital for recovery or a jail term.
