4 of Swords as a Daily Tarot Oracle Card
Oracle Message: Take time out for self-care & mind-body balance.
Someone has been busy! When we see the 4 of Swords, it indicates we have been totally overdoing it and need to take some time out or a day off. As an air card, you can be certain you’ve been overthinking something that’s been on your plate for quite some time. This level of worry, like the 9 of Swords, can impact the body and if we don’t take time to rebalance.
Today you must step back from your worries, this is not a day when you are going to solve your problems so take a day off from them. If you cannot remove yourself from your commitments today then you must find some time to sit quietly. If you meditate, do so. If not, learn to – meditation is a wonderful technique to help settle the mind thereby recharging it ready to face the day and all it contains.
Booking a Reiki session when you see this card is also an excellent step toward self-care. Consider taking a course in Reiki Level I for immediate healing in addition to learning vital tools in mind-body balance.
