The Five of Swords in your reading

You entered the battle. You can be proud of yourself but despite that it doesn?t feel like that. It even uncomfortable seeing the results. 

You do not need a victory parade. You?d rather haver that no one pays attention to your victory. Why? Is it because you're not proud of what you have achieved or because you prefer not to be in the limelight? To be in the limelight you need a certain degree of developed self-consciousness developed, but you also have to proud of what you?ve done. Work on the issue that it is okay to be proud of yourself. 

It is possible that you are misunderstood for a while. Someone puts words in your mouth or explains what you said wrong. This card asks of you that you restore the order of what has been said. Do that in a way that there?s no longer a possibility of misunderstanding.

Because of all of this you experience stress. This is not a pleasant time for you, but you are about to finish this periode in a positive and constructuve way. Keep to yourself and make sure you get enough sleep. Take a day off if you can.
