Four of Swords

This card shows a time of rest or recovery after illness or challenges.  It is a time to remain calm and in a way inactive. Doing this allows you to regain your strength and recuperate and build mental strength. Rest and refresh yourself, and put down your defenses for the moment. During this time you can refocus on how you will take on the next challenges that will ensue.  Sometimes this card means that you have been working too hard, or burning the candle at both ends, yet nonetheless it is a warning to take this moment and relax for the moment.
