Five of Swords

Card Information: “Stay back! Don’t you dare disturb her sleep!” The little bear stands at the girl’s bedside, holding a shield and a sword, chasing away the chaotic ghosts.

Upright: Conflict; confrontation
Reversed: Resolution; communication

Clutching its red cape and gripping its weapon, the little bear’s shield symbolizes defense and protection from harm, while its sword signifies the will to confront challenges. The ghosts it fends off seem unresolved, still lingering without a true truce. Some lie defeated on the floor, while others remain airborne. Having endured many sleepless nights, the girl now rests deeply, unaware of the ongoing battle. The scene suggests that external conflicts may not always directly affect her, but the bear—her inner guardian—remains vigilant, defending her peace. Over time, she may come to recognize that this bear reflects her inner resilience and watchfulness.
