Umabel and the 5 of Swords
Let’s face it, nobody shouts for joy when the 5 of Swords shows up in a reading. This is a card of conflict, outer or inner. It often describes a fear-driven or ego-motivated no-win scenario. The 5 of Swords corresponds with Venus in Aquarius energy. This means that friendly and romantic Venus is looking for connection whereas Aquarius prefers to remain aloof and detached.
What Umabel can teach us here is to move forward with the kind of grace that detached compassion affords us. The question we must ask ourselves is ‘What am I meant to learn from this situation?’
It can also mean that we need to learn how to not allow people to walk all over us. So sometimes this card signifies a need to detach emotionally and just walk away from a toxic situation. Again, looking at it as another learning experience is helpful.
The 5 of Swords reminds us that it is better to look to the future than to the past. This is also the message of Umabel. Move on and create something better. And remember that sometimes, conflict is just the catalyst that gets the process going.
On a more abstract level, the 5 of Swords can signify a scientific breakthrough that comes from mentally wrestling with a problem for a long time. Here it means learning to fall in love with the process of discovery rather than just aiming for a speedy resolution.
It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.

Use the Wah-MEH-Beh Mantra to…
…to break free from a pattern of isolating yourself from others. Chant Wah-MEH-Beh when you wish to teach complicated concepts to others. Wah-MEH-Beh is also useful to chant for anybody studying Astrology, Astronomy or Physics to grasp the concepts more easily.
Umabel can teach us how the Laws of Resonance and Attraction work and to monitor our own internal energy psychology so that we attract only what is for the Highest Good.
