Five of Swords

Upright

Won, and the field looks like that: a victory whose price was people. Pick up only the swords that are yours; some wins to decline next time.

hollow victory · conflict cost · winning ugly

Reversed

Smoke after the fight: resentment lingering, or a genuine attempt to reconcile. Bury the weapons you keep tripping over.

lingering resentment · reconciliation · walking the field

Love

Being right at that volume costs the relationship; choose the us.

Career

Win the point, keep the room; you will need these people.

Money

Do not win a refund and lose a relationship worth more.

Health

Conflict hormones are expensive; discharge them kindly.
