But, what do they MEAN? Well, let's just look at the latest issue, with the 5 of Swords cover. Here's a couple of interpretations of the card from the web: In the Five of Swords, a young man, with a look of contempt on his face, stares at his conquered enemies. He possesses five swords, most of which he has taken from the other people in the card. The other two figures walk away from him slowly, with a sense of sadness and loss. The sky is cloudy and tumultuous, indicating that not all is well despite the battle being seemingly over.
-- https://www.biddytarot.com/tarot-card-meanings/minor-arcana/suit-of-swords/five-of-swords/The Five of Swords is about self-interest. Society tells us to think of others, yet we resist. How we can ignore our own concerns and still survive? This dilemma comes from our definition of self. If we view our self as our personality/body, our interests become those that relate to that self. Do I have enough to eat? Am I happy? Do I have all I want?
We may expand our concern to those we love, but, then, how can we stop there? We are connected to everyone in the long run. In truth, our self is the world. What we do to that world, we do to ourselves. This understanding is so basic, but so infuriatingly easy to forget day-to-day.
In readings, the Five of Swords can mean that you or someone else is forgetting this larger view of self. You are defining your interests too narrowly. If you try to get ahead in isolation, your actions will come back to haunt you later, one way or the other.
Sometimes this card implies a need to put your own interests first. If you are being abused or taken advantage of, you must get free. If you are worn out by demands, take care of yourself. If it is your turn, step forward and claim your due. Just be aware that if you hurt others in the process, your victory will not feel complete.
The Five of Swords also represents hostility - from a cross word to warfare. When the cords that bind us are broken, we experience dis-cord. This card can signify dishonors that are fairly open. Cheats, lies, tricks, deceits, even crimes. You may be on the receiving end, or be the perpetrator. Either way, hold to a larger view of who you are. Find the solution that is best for everyone...including yourself.
-- http://www.learntarot.com/s5.htmSo... seems to me like that pretty much describes the state of the world for this issue, at least. |

The King of Wands does not have anyone with him. The Hierophant has a couple of monks(?) at his feet. |

The King of Wands does not have anyone with him. The Hierophant has a couple of monks(?) at his feet. Right, but look at the angle of the throne and the style of the wand he's holding. That's the King of Wands. They threw in some naked ladies at his feet because how else would you put naked ladies into the King of Wands art? |
