My deck is the Enchanted Tarot, and here is my 5 of Swords:
I've read the descriptions for the 5 of Swords here and on some other sites, and they all agree that it signifies conflict, tension, loss, defeat, and betrayal... so, super negative.
But when I look at MY card, I don't see that. In my deck, it looks like a woman has her back to me, and is consciously controlling 5 bolts of lightning (although they're all going different directions). So I don't know how it signifies anything about conflict, tension, defeat, or betrayal... to me, it's more like "manipulating multiple situations", or possibly "trying to manipulate something that's out of your control, and maybe failing at it".
Just looking at my card, can someone suggest why I should be seeing conflict, betrayal, etc? If it's not there, then should I go by what I see in my own deck, or the more traditional interpretations? Or both?
