It is time for a break! If you have recently gone through a rough patch, it is time to take a deep breath and re-group. If you have been ill, this is a great card to get because it brings healing. In a health reading it has the big message "You Can Heal". You just need to find the key. It says that physical healing needs to incorporate emotional healing, too. Artists (and the artist in all of us) need to create space in life to call in new ideas and inspiration. Every period of production needs to come out of a period of inspiration. We cannot just create something without the vision first. The Four of Swords represents the time period of receiving insight. It is a good time to journal or go on a retreat. In a relationship, it can denote a couples only vacation or relationship counseling. Open up your mind to new healing techniques and modalities.
Reversed: I don't use reverse cards, as every card has inherently positive and challenging aspects, depending on the client and the reading.
