Card Meaning
A young swordsman lies resting on a cushion, his expression very calm, neither fully asleep nor awake. Three swords hang above his head, and he's still wearing armor. A sword is placed on the bed, indicating his alertness and suggesting that at the slightest movement, he could leap up and grab the sword to join the battle. The appearance of the Four of Swords generally implies that the person is in a temporary state of rest, or has a slightly passive tendency, but this current situation is temporary. The person hasn't given up for a moment in seeking opportunities for a comeback. When predicting the next major action, this card often has the meaning of lying low and biding one's time. Additionally, this card reminds the person to pay attention to summarizing lessons and gaining experience.
