#queer tarot

Five of Swords… it was always hard card to understand for me, that man carrying three swords (with two more are on the ground) - is he a covard, is he fullfiled his duties on the battle field and now ready to move forward. Traditioal card meaning is defeat, shame. But my Sasuraibito tarot offers something new in Five of Swords. I like its witchy vibes, power, querness. That witch is going to fight even if it brings unease, troubles, chaos, even if they tell, her battle is meaningless while she sees it’s absolutely necassary, being her duty. It’s kind of mind game, as if living in utopia where all people around tell «peace» and only she shouts «war».

There is another dimention to all of that - numerology of Five brings us to the consept of time, rulled by Saturn - time which gives us a chance to win or to lose, eventually asking to stay in the present moment, become strong and responsible for ourselves, be simple and start conversation. Saturn is a damn strict teacher, its lessons are hard to forget but underneath its heaviness and roughness he hides pure pearls which you get if you master its teachings.

Five of Swords meanings: fighting your (own personal) battle, time matters, Saturn seems to teach you, be strong and simple, open conversation.
