A Time For Thoughtful Review
The Four of Swords depicts a period in a person's life where they need to take "time out" to reflect over the past, and thing things through quietly in solitude, after being recently caught in an emotionally fraught chapter in their lives.
This is "the eye of the storm". The person has been through "hell and back", and survived, and now takes stock of their life, their situation, and all they've learned. Decisions are being weighed on which direction to go, and where to go from here. All struggle has ceased, as this card indicates a person has accepted all that has happened and is now putting aside their emotional turmoil to use logic and clear thinking about all that's happened.
This card can also appear for people who have suffered a period of illness or depression and been forced to rest; or appear to warn a person that they should stop and rest.
Occasionally this card appears to indicate a person who has retreated from life - turned their backs on friends and family and their situation and fled to solitude.
Relationships
When the Four of Swords appears in a relationship, its often symbolising a quiet "cease fire" in what has been a period of arguments or fighting. It is depicting that a person is taking time and thinking things through about the relationship and deciding where its headed.
Reversed
