A card you "hate"?

I can't use the world hate but when the 5 of Swords comes up first in reading, I automatically think WHO... WHAT... WHERE... WHEN? I get kinda paranoid weird but that's just me I guess.

Definitely not just you. Don't like that card either. Always came up with me when I was involved with very manipulative men, never like seeing it. Get a little paranoid about it, too.

Interesting how almost everybody here has mentioned Sword cards...

I'm not one of those virtuous types who love every single card.

Again, not hate but I dislike all the pointless cards - you know who you are - Temperance, plus the Two and Three of Wands.

I could get used to the idea of tarot having 75 cards. Much better ring to it.

Those cards tell me nothing, teach me nothing and I don't think I've ever had a moment in my life when they've needed to speak to me. I draw them for other people, but for myself, never.

For me it's the Wheel of Fortune. Whenever I see that card I start worrying about what kind of whirlwind I will be subjected to.

I never been a fan of wheel of fortune!
It is just hopeless to read.
'something will happen'
yeah right!

How fascinating!
Aeric - I don't see the RWS 3 of Swords as unremittingly negative at all! I see all the 3s as connected to the care-giving Empress & as indicating 'initial success' in their respective suites. Swords to me = Air / thought / reason / analysis / rationality / insights etc. So for me, the 3 means sharp, incisive thoughts penetrating to the heart of the emotions. Analysis of sad & negative feelings. Insight & understanding, which can lead to feeling better.

I don't dismiss any card as irrelevant; they all reflect & express some aspect of our human experience. I don't judge the poor fellow in the 4 of Cups as 'spoiled' or a 'brat' any more than I would a friend suffering from severe Depression, ennui, or sorrow. Emotional illness.

But the card(s) I really dislike, which make me feel uneasy & alienated, are most of the Wands. Especially the (drama)Queen, but all the courts especially. Here, I do break my resolve not to criticise and I flinch when they appear ... such self-centred, loud, demanding, controlling, over-competitive, attention-seeking, narcissistic, entitled, puffed-up pains in the neck. Divas all!
This is Wrong & Very Bad of me, I know.

This made me laugh out loud! I've felt like this about the wheel a lot! This is the card that sometimes (not always) makes me feel like I'm clutching at straws!

I tend to dislike cards that keep coming up and bugging me when I have to follow their advice! damn them! currently it seems to be The Emperor! But this is because I need to follow their advice and work them out

I know this is such an obvious clichéd choice but I am not a fan of The Tower or the 10 of Swords. I know there is positives with the Tower that whilst it's difficult, things change long term for the better and perhaps there is a breakthrough. But my year of it last year was just miserable with forced change. 10 of Swords seems to come up for me as a daily card for accidents or almost accidents a lot

I am SO with you on this. Can't find a good thing to say about this card, and dread seeing it. Realized recently I'm actually a bit paranoid about all the fives. None of them feel at all happy.

I'd say I dislike most of the cards because I never know what they're trying to tell me, but court cards are my least favorite. I just can't connect to them.
