Four of Swords TAROT CARD MEANINGS AND DESCRIPTION

The Four of Swords shows a knight lying horizontally on a tomb. He remains in his full armor, and his hands are in the position of prayer as a sign of rest. One sword lies beneath the knight, symbolising a single point of focus, and three swords hang above him, pointing downwards towards his head and torso. The stained-glass window above him shows a woman and child together.

NOTE: The Tarot card meaning description is based on the Rider Waite cards.
