Four of Swords

This card depicts the tomb of a knight with his carved effigy resting on top. His attitude is one of prayer. Three swords hang above him, while a fourth can be found on the tomb itself. The number four represents the incarnation of an idea.

The focus here is on taking a rest before engaging in an activity. This is about detached contemplation while planning one's next move. There is also an emphasis here on printed materials and/or self-promotion. Pray. You'll get what you want because your goals are in accord with Heaven, but you will need to rest before you can engage in further activity.
