Five of Swords Tarot Card Meaning

Group: Swords · Keywords: pride, conflict, stubbornness

The Five of Swords is pride and stubbornness: emotions take over and conflicts become about honour.

General meaning

A challenge to your pride may hurt deeply, perhaps in a conflict with someone senior such as a teacher, parent or boss.

Work

Stubbornness and strong self-belief can make teamwork difficult.

Money

Pride may stop you asking for help or collecting what you are owed, and you may spend to keep up appearances.

Love

A quarrel where neither side will apologise can end a relationship. Singles may meet someone arrogant.

Advice

Look at your own emotions and behaviour. Let go of some pride and know your limits.
