Four of Swords
Air
rest, recovery, contemplation, retreat, stillness
A knight lies in peaceful repose in a church, swords arranged around them. After battle, the body and mind require rest — recovery is not retreat, it is wisdom.
↑ Upright
Rest is not laziness right now — it is necessary. Step back, recover your strength, and return when you are ready.
↓ Reversed
You have rested enough — it is time to return to the world and re-engage. The world is waiting for your restored energy.
