You have chosen the Hermit and the 5 of Swords. The 5 of Swords explains that there have been some difficult people around you. You've had to face up to dealing with arguments, unkindness and gossips. This situation has been a struggle. It's been a mini battlefield where you felt mentally abused and you feel that these people are not acting in an ethical or moral way but you realise they are addicted to that behaviour and that you are not vibrating on the same frequency as they are. It is time to walk away, even if these people have been colleagues, family or friends. You must make a stand by not accepting to be involved in that behaviour. You don't need to say anything, you just need to retreat and move away from it. The Hermit is asking you to go into a place where you can reclaim the past, where you can use the wealth of experience and wisdom and knowledge that you've picked up along your travels and to realise that these people are no longer productive in your world. You must spend time in your own company and come to some important decisions and conclusions for your good for these arguments are not productive and you cannot change their way of thinking. It is important that you accept that and not try and waste any more energy on making them see your point of view. It is not your business to change their minds. They must learn at their own pace in their own time. They are not ready. You are ready, however, to start a new chapter of life but you can only do so by getting rid of the chaos and reclaiming some organisation within your world by creating a space that you feel is safe, comfortable, and allowing you to go through your thought processes. Here you can work out the strategy of where you've come from and how you got to here and then where you're going but your decisions must be based on acceptance of the past for you to work forwards towards your future. It is important to enjoy your own company and to seek solace from the madding crowd. You now need to turn down any social invitations and to spend a little time in retreat and recovery. A little self analysis is excellent and trying to understand yourself will lead you to the best way to sorting out the problems that come up in the future but it is important to realise that whenever there is chaos, whether internal or external, you are able to establish your control through your logical analysis. You must spend your attention to the detail where you can go to a place that is private and away from any invasion within your personal boundaries.
