The 5 of Swords (Tarot Card) Color Changing Mug 11oz

The 5 of Swords is a tarot card belonging to the Major Arcana within the standard Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck. It's numbered as the fifth card in this series, preceding the 6 of Swords. This card depicts a soldier taking five swords from a battlefield while others lie unclaimed. The 5 of Swords symbolizes victory at the expense of others, deceit, and dishonor. It suggests that the querent (person receiving the reading) may have attained a win in their current situation but at the cost of relationships or integrity. The card advises against such tactics and encourages introspection to maintain honor and integrity. Interpretations of the 5 of Swords in a tarot reading can vary based on the position within the spread, accompanying cards, and the reader's interpretation, but its general message remains consistent as a warning against taking advantage of others.
