Four of Swords

The Four of Swords is your call to retreat into yourself for rest, meditation, and recovery. This is THE card for seclusion and solitude. It is no surprise it follows the Three of Swords (the card for heartbreak). When you’ve felt deep loss, you need time to recover and heal.

Focus on your own self-care, especially on building your inner world. This doesn’t have to be a month-long retreat to a cabin in the woods (although that’s a wonderful idea if you can do it). Small daily actions, like meditating, journaling, or a media fast will give you the time and mental space to retreat from the world.
