Four of Swords reversed is all about rest, calm, and recovery. The battle that was raging within you has now lost its momentum and is now slowly fading away. All you need to do to welcome the return of calm is to take a moment to take a breather and relax.
When the Four of Swords is reversed, the querent’s restlessness is finally abating. The clouds are starting to break up and it is becoming clear that the Four of Swords reversed is a welcome retreat from the conflict and strife that was present in the querent when it was present. Just as the querent took his or her first still breath in the upright position, the Four of Swords in the reversed orientation represents the need to give your current struggles and issues a rest.
While the upright Four of Swords represents a welcome and needed break, the reversed Four of Swords suggests that you may be ready to return to the fray again right away. It may also be a sign that you are ready to ignore the Four of Swords as a symbol and instead focus on building other areas of your life.
