SWORDS DRAMA AND WHAT TO DO?
THE FOUR OF SWORDS
Description: A peaceful and serene scene. Orestes is at peace for the moment, away from the problems at home. He sits quitely, at meditation. Before him, four swords are arranged in such a manner that they resemble they resemble the spokes of a wheel. Behind him are mountains, but reflecting the serene nature of this card, the dark clouds are missing. The Four of Swords signifies a time of retreat, meditation, a time of rest and solitude.
When this card appears it does so when a major decision needs to be made, the figure appears meditating but its not a time for procrastinating and waiting to see if anything is going to change, it wont. It's a time for cutting out the dead wood, cutting your losses and moving on and I feel when this card appears in a reading you know in your heart what needs to be done, you've already made the decision you just need reassurance but you already know you will do it anyway.
PAGE OF SWORDS
Description: This card potrays a youth, sitting comfortably on dark cloud. Despite being high up in the sky, he does not appear to be cold and wears a sleveless tunic and a short cloak. He wields a and blows out a cloud from his mouth. Beneath, snow capped mountains can be seen. The Page of Swords signifies a messanger, or a young person that may come into the Querent's life. This card also hints at the possibiltiy of gossip, possibly about the Querent.
When this card appears I see it as news, it may not be good news as this would depend on the other cards around in the layout and its often from an unreliable source. The news may also have been contaminated as in 'Chinese whispers' and in a work place scenario, it suggests, hearsay and rumour, in a personal situation it could well be tittle tattle, either way the facts are not entirely correct and clarification is needed before taking action on what you hear
THE FOUR OF SWORDS
The scene shifts to Orestes who sits in quiet meditation, away from the strife of his mother and his father, quite unaware of the dreadful incident that took place in his home.
The Page of Swords is Zephyrus. Zephyrus was the lord of the West Wind which he blew from his mouth. Zephyrus, like his brethen, Boreas, the North Wind, Euras, the East Wind and Notus, the South Wind, were children of Eos, the Goddess of Dawn and Astraeus, the Lord of the Night Skies. Orginally of a wild, spiteful and malicious nature, Zephyrus disposition softened when he was given the sweet and gentle Iris, messanger of the Gods to Men, as his wife. No longer was the wind he blew cold, wild and chilly, it became a warm, sweet scented breeze welcomed by mortals every where.
