Four of Swords
Minor Arcana · Swords
Uprightrest, recuperation, withdrawal, meditation
This is a prescribed rest, not a defeat. The body and mind are asking for something you have been too busy to authorize; authorize it.
Reversedrestlessness, burnout, resistance to recovery
The recovery is resisted because rest feels like surrender. It is not; it is maintenance, and skipping it has consequences that will eventually arrive on their own schedule.
