Five of Swords
The Fool journeys to the Five of Swords, and resentment, disagreement, and a war of words will leave him feeling a bit hollow. Battles need to be picked wisely, as he finds that no one is listening to each other in his current one, and each word or action has consequences. Our Fool has realised that he does not know everything, that his opinion is not the only one, and that those who also believe that are also mistaken. He finds that arguments can get out of control, as words, best left unsaid, can cause situations to fail.
Are you the one imposing your views or having them squashed by another?
Here we find opinions and pride charging in like a bull in a china shop, and while someone, you or another, may feel that they have said their piece and done what they set out to do, the victory will be hollow as it will bring loss or tensions that will not be easy to fix. So here we find that we are plagued by a whole lot of disappointment.
This card shows us that we are exhausted, that views and beliefs are forced, and that someone thinks they know what is best and will not listen. If you feel that you must give your views, stand back and keep them to yourself, and if it is happening to you, walk away. Nothing will be gained.
We are surrounded by limitations; nothing of value can be achieved right now due to differences of opinion, and if you seek a compromise, it will not be found.
Power struggles and stubborn pride are going to cause more problems; all we can do is fail here.
Here is a lose-lose situation.

I ordered a book (Understanding Tarot) online, but it was taking too long to get here. Ends up Amazon has it for Kindle as well and it’s on sale right now. I bought the kindle addition and oh, my goodness! If you don’t have this book, you’ll want to get it. Every card is described in great detail and so much information about tarot. I can’t wait to dive into the book! Thank you Pam Richards for sharing your knowledge with everyone. I won’t need anymore tarot books or manuals now.

Pam is extremely thoughtful and thorough. She puts great care in how she explains things especially sensitive matters. I've had a few readings from her that were very accurate. I look forward to future readings.

I find Pam to be a particularly powerful and very special reader. She frames her readings with where your energy sits at the present moment before going into the details given by the guides and cards in the context of your question. Then she spectacularly wraps this all into crystal clear guidance.
She has many more gifts than those noted in her biography, not least the gift of placing ‘the whole of you’ front and centre of the reading with such loving kindness and compassion.
This is the second time in a year I’ve been to Pam. She was right the first time. She’ll be right this time. And, as before, I’ve come away feeling so much lighter somehow. Thank you, Pam, you are extraordinary. And you are a delight to deal with.
