Five of Swords - Six of Swords

Description and Symbols: A smug and victorious man stands with 3 swords, and his opponents walk away. Two more swords lay on the ground.
Meaning: Sometimes you have to accept when someone else wins a battle, even when the situation seems unfair to you. It's going to make you nuts knowing who has beaten you, but fighting it will only prolong the conflict.

Description and Symbols:A man is poling a boat through still water, with 2 huddled figures. There are 6 swords standing in the bow of the boat.
Meaning: Though the card looks a little bleak, it signifies the leaving of problems behind. You'll need assistance from someone (like the ferry-man in the image), so watch for a person who can give you some help getting away from your difficulties.
