It is time to give yourself a bit of a break from thinking and doing and always trying to control the show. The 4 of Swords is traditionally known as the card of ‘Repose’, and as we can see very clearly on the card, the Knight effigy is well and truly at rest, the prayer position of his hands, suggests that it is time to connect with a more spiritual world, one where you can mediate and not worry so.

If this card comes up reversed, it is saying you need to get out there more, be a bit more social!
