For this luck reading, you drew the Four of Swords.
You’re battle-weary after the heartbreak you faced from the Three of Swords. It’s been a long journey, and you can feel your eyelids getting heavier. All you want to do is be horizontal for a good nap. And you certainly deserve that after everything you’ve been through!
The upright Four of Swords pictures a man laying down, sleeping after a tough time. One sword lays at his bedside, ready to protect him at any given moment. Three others align the wall, presumably trophies from previous battles won. Stained glass on the wall depicts a painting of a mother and child, symbolizing comfort.
The Four of Swords in the upright position reminds us that sometimes, the best thing we can do is nothing. We need to know when to tap out, rest, and recuperate before hitting the road for another adventure.
This card promises good luck—after you give yourself the chance to rest!
In modern contexts, the typical pace of life is difficult to keep up with. We are told to constantly keep going and reinventing or we’ll get left behind. But that leads to burnout, and nothing is more unlucky than burnout.
Take a Nice Nap and Try Again
You’re in a good spot right now. You have achieved a whole lot, even surviving some heartbreak along the way. It’s time for you to take a break, finally!
The good news is this recharge will really help you out. In fact, the luckiest thing you could have right now is a nice break where you simply take a nap or sleep through the night.
You may need to completely withdraw to recharge your social battery— and that’s okay! Everyone needs to step away for a moment and recalibrate when they’re feeling up to the task. It could take days, weeks, or months, but regardless of the timeframe, you’ll thank yourself for taking a nice, hard-earned break.
The energy you’ll feel when you return afterwards will make up for any time spent away from the hustle and bustle. Right now is a rather neutral time, with luck laying somewhere in the middle of the scale instead of teetering between “good” and “bad.”
You can dream big while allowing yourself the time and space to rest. The world will be your oyster when you wake up!
