The Four of Swords tells you to take a break after something difficult has gone on in your life.
To pull the Four of Swords upright means it's time to take a well-deserved break. You've gone through something very difficult and exhausting recently, and it's time to rest from that experience. In order to get back to your daily life and routine, you must rest and find a moment of peace now. This moment of rest will help you gather the strength you need to continue on and keep living the best life you can.
When the Four of Swords is pulled reversed, it often means you're feeling restless or at opposition with yourself. Perhaps you need to rest, but don't want to. You want to keep going and keep fighting, but it's time to rest and take a moment for yourself, as that is what the Four of Swords is asking you to do. It's not good for your health and well being to keep going, especially if your body is asking for a break.
The Four of Swords is telling you to take a break and a moment of rest, relaxation, and peace. Take this time for yourself so that you can return to daily life again.
