5 of Swords Tarot Card: Asking if it was Worth It

What does the 5 of Swords tarot card mean? For one, it may be asking you some questions. It may be asking you to consider certain actions in your life and to reflect deeply on them.

Ask yourself: “Was is worth it?” You got what you wanted, but you threw potential allies and friends under the bus to get it. You showed no compassion or empathy, and you didn’t even bother to consider how this other person would feel about it. You were unwilling to discuss the situation or take into account other people’s viewpoints. You just threw these people under the bus to be hurt. And they are hurting.

Does this mean anything to you? Do you care? Did you notice? Was it worth it? How do you feel about all that now? Have you learned anything from it? Will you take these lessons and practice being a better person? In times like that, let the 5 of Swords be a catalyst for self-improvement.
