You'll no doubt be aware what's taking up your mind space at the moment. It might be with regards to working out how to tackle a potentially difficult conversation or situation, or figuring out the next step in business or career, or perhaps preparing for an exam or interview. Whatever it is, our Four of Swords is saying create some breathing space so that you can go in with a clear head.

For me, the Four of Wands is asking us to acknowledge what we've achieved so far, take a breath and consider what you'd like to come next. That could relate to life in general, or perhaps there's a particular project, ambition or situation that immediately springs to mind. (I know exactly what it means for me! 🙈)
