I'm having a lot of confusion with this card. As i read intuitively i tend to ignore trad. meangins of the cards. But this is so against the grain.
In all the readings i have done where this card has appeared my instinct is that he is putting the swords Down. The feeling i get is of such relief, and if i try to read it the traditional way; its like the cards don't want to go back in the deck!
The only sense i can make out of this through analysis is that perhaps the other folks in the picture are himself at earlier stages, weighed upon, straightening up and now looking back on his worries. He is coming into the fore ground, into focus. In readings he often comes after the higher swords, so it seems he puts down the 10,the 9, the 8...Some times he is looking into a better card.
Am i alone in seeing this as a positive card? even the people i read for think its sad.
