5 of Swords
Stress
Work – Powerful stress
Love – Emotional stress
Finance – Structured stress
Health – Inspired stress
The Five of Swords indicates that you are anything but calm or harmonious. Instead, you may feel trapped, agitated, and have trouble concentrating, with most things being the opposite of what you desire. You struggle to listen to yourself or pause just to breathe.
Yin: Blue-Turquoise
When considering your energy, Blue-Turquoise reveals that you are currently in an expressing energy. This expression is undergoing a transformation where you want to reveal more of yourself. You're gaining respect and being taken more seriously, although it might be challenging for others to follow your strong direction and desire for improvement. Blue signifies identity and communication. Turquoise represents the step towards self-awareness (which might not always be easy), an awareness that you are more than just a personality. Together, these colors empower you to dare to develop, question, and seek more than before. The downside is that you might struggle to find harmony within yourself and your role concerning others. This can lead to conflicts because you are unsure of your own values and who you truly are; as you develop, your values change. Inner conflicts might be most evident, lacking security or trust in yourself or others. Blue corresponds to the throat chakra, which means you are now speaking, gesturing, and communicating to be seen. As turquoise strengthens changes and the longing to spiritually clarify yourself, you may waver until you focus on how you wish to be perceived. To maintain balance and clarity, you can strengthen this energy with the opposing energy of Pink and Magenta, with a particular emphasis on trusting your experience. More Magenta (burgundy) helps you build more integrity and trust in your knowledge.
Why Blue-Turquoise?
This energy arises to signal ongoing changes, likely due to an identity development or crisis—too much deliberation and too many thoughts without action.
Astrology: Mars in Libra
You might speak up firmly and then apologize almost simultaneously. You can't seem to decide whether to genuinely get angry or just show it—is it worth it? You need to learn to manage your expressions alongside your inherent caution. This is beneficial when mediating between others, but if unchecked, it can lead to others exploiting you.
Bind Rune: Hagalaz-Laguz
Hagalaz offers the energy of change and restructuring what already exists, while Laguz brings empathy, emotion, and trust in following the flow. You might be undergoing both emotional and mental changes, creating a minor chaos where what you feel and what you think differ, causing confusion about the next step.
Magpie as a Power Animal
You thrive on being in the center, in the mix, observing and gathering what you need for your enjoyment. Smart, intense, and chatty, you are independent yet need your group, determined and resourceful. Fascinated by everything that glimmers, you might be ego-driven. You enjoy being with like-minded individuals, exchanging comments, listening to gossip, and gauging the winds of change. Fly without resistance and see what lies on your path, remembering that everything coming your way can contribute to the next phase.
Sugilite
You receive intuitive guidance from your higher self. You are now aware of who you are and your goals. You dare to trust your power, staying in balance with everything around you.
In the East (Work)
Unexpected conflicts and many upsetting emotions exist. You likely feel a lot of pressure, where you can experience losing control and becoming too stressed to manage your situation. You might feel trapped, misunderstood, losing control, which can result in chaos and make things spiral even further out of control.
In the South (Love)
You probably find it hard to pause and understand your feelings, feeling pressured, dissatisfied, or jealous. You might feel trapped in a corner, grappling with your thoughts against opposition, causing inner conflict. You’re unsure of what you want, restless and find it hard to focus or provide what you believe others expect.
In the West (Finance)
You’ve completely lost control, struggling to pause and practically assess what you have and how to address your possibly hopeless situation. Your finances are not as planned, and you’re unsure of what alternatives to consider, fixating on other distractions and losing control, allowing helplessness to take over.
In the North (Self)
You're currently feeling powerless, stressed, distraught, anxious, irritable, and generally unfocused. You struggle to see yourself, your role, your responsibilities, experiencing conflicts with others and feeling as if no one takes you seriously—do you even take yourself seriously?
In the Void (Spiritual)
You don't seem to believe in anything right now, including yourself. You're questioning everything, unable to find inner peace, instead creating chaos within. You question most things, expecting resistance, further increasing unease until you're completely disoriented.
