Five of Swords

A hooded figure on the edge of a rooftop, silhouetted against a sprawling violet-lit city.

⬆️ Upright

Some victories taste like ash. You may stand as the last one holding a blade, but whose blade is it, and what did you lose to claim it?

⬇️ Reversed

You’re gripping weapons from a battle long buried. The war is over, but the rust is working its way into your hands. Drop them before they wound you again.

All my life, I've been good, but now
I'm thinking, "What the hell?"

🌠 REFLECTION

The Five of Swords reminds you the blade cuts both ways. Live by it and you may die by it. If the rooftop is yours alone, did you climb to see the view, or to watch others fall?
