Four of Swords

Four of Swords — Bonnie Speaks

“Shhh… this is the card of stillness,” I whisper from my perch in the quiet chamber. Before me lies the alien, stretched across a stone bed, swords standing sentinel around him. The hum of the starship consoles has dimmed, the lights low. This is not a place of endings, but of retreat — of pulling back to gather strength.

I, Bonnie, know the restless flight of wings, the ceaseless chatter of thought. But here, the Four of Swords reminds me that wisdom comes when we stop flapping so hard against the winds. The alien rests not in defeat but in sacred pause — gathering dreams, healing, preparing for what comes next.

When this card finds you, I counsel stillness. Withdraw into your nest, away from noise and demands. Allow silence to cradle you as a parent bird cradles her young. The swords are not threats; they are guardians, holding space for your recovery.

Know this: every journey — even one through alien skies and ancient ruins — requires rest. Your spirit must breathe, your body must mend, your mind must wander into dream. This card bids you: lie down, close your eyes, and let the universe hold you.

Rest is not weakness. Rest is preparation. Your visions will sharpen, your song will return stronger when you rise again.
