Five of Swords
Leela Atlas team · Updated
A hollow victory.
The image
A smirking young man gathers three swords while two defeated figures walk away toward the sea; two more swords lie on the ground under a torn, windy sky.
Keywords: conflict, pride, hollow victory
Light side
Knowing when a fight is not worth winning is wisdom. You can choose relationships over being right.
Shadow side
Winning at any cost leaves you alone with the swords. Pride and resentment can turn victory into loss.
Drawing Five of Swords in a game of Leela
In Leela Atlas you can draw a card from the Classic Tarot when you land on a square. A bridging question links the card to the square, so the card speaks to your own question:
- If you won this, what would it cost you?
- What does "Five of Swords" show you about your square?
- If "Five of Swords" were advice for your question, what would it say?
- Where do you meet "Five of Swords" in your life right now?
