Five of Swords Tarot Card Meanings Against the backdrop of a strangely lit sky the man at the forefront of the image seems somewhat smug in victory pose, with his sword held high and four others under his arm. In the background people lay injured and it becomes apparent this is where his trophy swords have come from, his gain has been to their cost. The Five of Swords is the ‘sneaky’ card, it can represent deviousness, people trying to exploit you, deceit, or theft. In most cases it is usually actions taken against the seeker, although there are occasions when it can represent their own actions but I’ve found this to be far less frequent and quite rare. On a brighter note, The Five of Swords can act as a warning if it appears in a future position, and if the seeker pays attention to what is happening around them by raising their awareness, not being complacent or taking things for granted, it isn’t usually difficult to discover what is happening, sufficient to be able to prevent it from manifesting further. For many readers this is the card of selfish victory, and often short-lived, that leads to dishonour and humiliation. If reversed or ill-dignified, still remains a fairly treacherous card, defeat and loss.
