The Four of Swords is representative of a time of rest and recuperation.

After experiencing a period of conflict, this card suggests that it is necessary to take a break in order to recover.

This break can be in the form of a ceasefire or truce, or a period of introspection and contemplation.

Everyone and everything connected to the conflict - including those in the outgroup - must agree to the terms of the contract in order for the armistice to be successful.
