Four of Swords
สี่ดาบ
Remember it
A knight lies with hands in prayer, three swords hung on the wall: put the weapons down for a while so the mind can mend.

After the hurt of the Three, the Four of Swords is the recovery room. Four is the number of stability, and in Swords it means letting the mind stop and heal. This is not giving up; it is stepping back to regroup before moving on. Rest properly, sleep, turn down the noise, and come back to the problem with a clearer head.
