You are likely finding yourself with some mixed feelings about life in general and about a few people in particular.  Don’t ignore these, but don’t feel like you have to speak every word you’re thinking and feeling either, as you could ruin the very things that you want the most – such as close, intimate relationships with your friends and lover.  Think several times before you really let someone have it, even if they deserve it.  Pick your battles.  Someone you care about may be away for a while.  Don’t get too possessive if that’s the case.  Assume that they will be coming back to you.  The 5 can indicate conflicts, both external and internal.  Don’t escalate conflicts unnecessarily. Think before you act. Even if you have suddenly found the spiritual answers that you’e been looking for your whole life,remember that they are your answers and not everyone else’s.  You don’t need to convert anyone else to your way of thinking.  The 5 of Swords can also indicate a sudden break from spirituality that no longer works for you.  Give yourself time and space to find new answers, if that’s the case.
