Four of Swords
Don’t make any decision now. Wait, and you’ll be glad you did.
Your Life Reading
Relationships
Taking a break from each other might restore some perspective. Rather than over-analyze everything, clear your mind and take things at face value for once. If you can't achieve peace together, there's no shame in saying you need a rest.
Work
Running at top speed all the time wears down the most capable individuals. Insist on time to recharge your creative batteries. On even the most hectic days, steal ten minutes to be still and disconnect. See time off as an investment in maintaining your sharp edge.
Spirituality
Withdrawal from the world can help you achieve remarkable perspective. Schedule time for quiet contemplation. Rather than ponder solutions, just breathe, and let Spirit sort things out.
Personal Growth
A mature person knows the value of stillness. Before taking action, set aside time to simply be. Associate calmness and focus with specific postures or breathing patterns, and you'll be able to summon a clear state of mind on demand.

Symbols and Insights
On the original RWS cards, the figure of the sleeping knight is easily mistaken for a decorative touch on a stone sarcophagus. Or, perhaps, he's asleep -- but with one Sword at the ready, just in case. The message? Even in rest, be prepared for action.
The three Swords remaining on the wall suggest the knight's rest is a deliberate one - a course of action deliberately chosen. The single Sword in hand suggests opportunity. What opportunities might open for you if you made a conscious decision to integrate relaxation into your routine?
Quiet time can be used for research and personal growth, enhancing the work you do when more physically active.
The curved blades form a protective barrier in which a new blossom can flourish. How might a retreat or a withdrawal provide you with a protected space in which to grow?
