Four of Swords
The Fool journeys to the Four of Swords, and here healing is needed. A break from life, a situation, or stress will be on the cards for The Fool, and if not taken willingly, it could be enforced, and he will find the need to withdraw from the world. He needs to unwind, relax, meditate, or think deeply about life or a situation, and it should be taken seriously. Here The Fool enters a time of retreat from life to recharge his batteries.
Time to take time out! Take a sick day. Wave the white flag. Sit it out. Sleep in. Be a couch potato. Take some time to chill your mind and body before it is forced upon you.
Now is the time to retreat, wave the white flag, and withdraw from life in general or from a situation, as now is not the time for a battle or to maintain one. If it is wearing you down, take 5.
We need rest right now, a time to get our minds in order, recharged, or rebooted. Stress can lead us astray, and some peace and quiet are called for. Time alone, or just a place where we can find some silence. Our bodies can also be an issue, either from stress negatively impacting them or from being ill and not listening to our bodies needs to heal. Be nice to your body—it’s the only one you have.
At times we can feel hurt, let down, and things can seem unfair, and we need to lick our wounds after a bad experience. That’s ok to do and a part of the healing process.
Take a break from your routine.

Thanks so much Pam. I honestly feel like you just said to me what I already knew in my heart (but haven't wanted to accept).

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's tarot & psychic insights e-mail gave me some clarity by signaling the path among my cluster-feelings chaos... I'm still re-reading it and is spot on about the more inner details and depths of my situation just after a general description of it and what worries me... I feel now I have more resources to face my problems and have gained a deeper perspective of them. Thanks Pam! :-)

I’d highly recommend. Thank You Pam Pam reading was not what I expected. I expected something very vague and general but she was very specific, she made things very clear and she told me the truth. She gave me insight to my situation and everything was true and everything made sense. I plan I getting more readings from Pam.
