Five of Swords
Rider–Waite tarot deck
The Five of Swords is a Minor Arcana tarot card.
Tarot cards are used throughout much of
Divination usage
The figure in the foreground suggests victory, potency, and ample preparation or confidence. Also suggests unwilling or unnecessary contributions from losing parties. This card also is the "defeat card" in the deck. The ragged-looking and "torn-asunder" sky implies a frayed, shabby, and jagged celestial plane.[citation needed] This card can represent dangerous overconfidence, and in its reversed form indicates a seeming-triumph which will be ultimately calamitous.
