Five of Swords Tarotscope for 21 – 30 January
What’s a Tarotscope? It’s a way we can make predictions with the tarot and the stars. This is essentially your tarot reading combined with your horoscope for the next ten days. So if you’re seeing this in late-January 2025, this is your forecast for the last 10 days of the month. But, if you’re reading this post at another time – don’t worry—this reading is for you now! The Five of Swords has shown up for a reason and has a message. So, let’s see what this card is all about and what it means for you.
Your Stars
Aquarius Season Is Here, And The Stars Are Aligned For You to Win
We’ve entered Aquarius I, the first decan of Aquarius season (January 21–30), ruled by Venus. The Venus in Aquarius decan is a time to fight for what you love and take bold action toward your dreams. Passivity won’t help now—embrace hope, take risks, and trust in your ability to succeed.
The cosmos is aligning to support this energy – the universe is on your side, so believe in yourself and go for it! In the next ten days, the energy peaks with the new moon in Aquarius on January 29 at 10 degrees, an extraordinary alignment. Jupiter, the planet of luck, forms a perfect trine with the Sun and new moon, bringing optimism, opportunities, and the promise that anything is possible.
Uranus adds to the excitement, harmonising with Mars, Venus and Neptune to deliver unexpected breakthroughs and surprise wins against the odds. Best of all, Uranus stations direct on January 30, ending its retrograde since September and unlocking long-awaited progress.
Your Tarot Card
The Five of Swords, linked to Venus in Aquarius, is about leaving your comfort zone to reach something greater. It calls for courage and hope, even when the path feels difficult. Staying where you are isn’t an option—it’s time to fight for your dreams with faith and determination.
In Tarot, the suit of Swords symbolises our thoughts, ideas, and beliefs. Connected to the element of air, it represents intellect and mental clarity. The number 5 in numerology signifies conflict and change, and with the 5 of Swords, you come to see what needs to change and what you must do to make it happen.
The Golden Dawn called this card The Lord of Defeat. What in your life needs to be defeated? What feels unfair or out of balance? What challenges must you face to create the future you want? This card is your call to action—step forward with strength and claim what’s yours.
Tarotscope
Over the next 10 days, you’ll feel the energy of the Five of Swords and its connection to Venus in Aquarius, amplified by the astrology of these days. This is a time of reckoning—you’ll realise which battles are worth fighting and what steps you must take to claim the life you desire. The key is courage, clarity, and faith in your ability to succeed.
You will need to take a risk to win, nothing ventured, nothing gained. But the cosmos has your back, especially with the extraordinary new moon in Aquarius on January 29. Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion, forms a perfect trine with the Sun and new moon, infusing the days with opportunities.
Adding to this is Uranus, the planet of surprises, harmonising with Mars, Venus, and Neptune. This alignment promises breakthroughs, unexpected good news, and happy surprises. The skies are clearing for you to win!
Guidance for the Coming Days
The Five of Swords is a card about battles—both external and internal. It reminds us that after the heartbreak of the Three of Swords and the healing pause of the Four of Swords, it’s time to stand up and fight to put things right.
There are times in life when you must win. You might be facing a struggle, like a health challenge or an addiction. Perhaps you need to be assertive, standing up for yourself or protecting what matters. Do you have to escape from somewhere or confront something? You will have to tae a risk, but remember that this is a part of life. You have what it takes to succeed.
Even when the odds seem stacked against you, resilience and perseverance matter. Showing up, staying positive, and focusing on what truly counts can be more important than winning every battle. Just being present makes a difference. Also, some battles take time to win – a steady fight toward something worthwhile. Reflect on how far you’ve come, the battles you’ve already won, and the strength you’ve gained.
Work
Right now, it might feel like you’re stuck in the middle of a battle zone—everywhere you turn, there’s another issue that needs your attention. Nothing seems to be flowing easily, and you’re constantly running into obstacles. You might be dealing with strong personalities and feeling like you’re being pushed to compromise your own values. Even though you might feel stubborn, you’ll need to find a bit more balance and be open to some give and take. If you can do that, you’ll resolve things more quickly and avoid unnecessary drama.
Money
The Five of Swords in money shows you might face financial challenges or tough decisions, but they can lead to growth if handled wisely. This is your moment to stand up for your worth—whether it’s asking for a raise, setting financial boundaries, or going after what you’re owed. Just be careful not to let winning damage important relationships or cause unnecessary stress. Focus on the bigger picture, cut your losses where needed, and make choices that align with your goals. Stay strong, play smart, and don’t be afraid to fight for what’s yours.
Health
The Five of Swords in health suggests a time to confront challenges and take control of your well-being. You might face setbacks or struggles, but this is your call to stand strong and fight for better health. Whether it’s sticking to a treatment plan, setting boundaries to reduce stress, or tackling unhealthy habits, now is the time to prioritize yourself. Be mindful not to push too hard or ignore your limits—balance and patience are key. Stay focused on the long-term goal, take small but steady steps, and trust that your effort will lead to progress.
Love
The Five of Swords in love suggests conflict or tension may arise, but it’s an opportunity to address what’s been left unresolved. This is a time to stand up for your needs and have honest conversations, even if they’re uncomfortable. Be mindful of not letting ego or the need to “win” get in the way of genuine connection. Instead, focus on understanding, compromise, and building trust. Whether it’s letting go of past hurts or setting boundaries, this card encourages you to fight for love that’s healthy and fulfilling.
Everyday
The Five of Swords pops up in everyday life for petty squabbles, like arguing over who left the fridge open or battling over the TV remote. It’s that tense text thread where no one wants to back down or the passive-aggressive email exchange at work. This card reminds you to pick your battles—sometimes it’s better to let it go than to win and ruin the vibe. It can also represent our own thoughts, negative or positive, sometimes the battle is in our own minds! Try not to doom scroll or spend too much time on social media. Save your energy for the battles that matter, so you can win your war!
The Takeaway
The Five of Swords is a card of conflict, courage, and choosing your battles. Over the next 10 days, with the cosmic energy of the new moon in Aquarius and Venus in Aquarius decan, you’ll feel the push to stand up for yourself and fight for what truly matters. Whether in love, money, health, or everyday life, remember that not every battle is worth it. Balance strength with wisdom, and trust that the right risks will lead you to growth and success.
