Tarot Cards For Foe
Seven of Swords
The Seven of Swords depicts a man carrying five swords in the distance. As he escapes with his swords, he looks back over his shoulder, making sure no one sees him fleeing. While this card has many interpretations, for a friendship reading, it may indicate that your friend isn't being honest with how they feel about you or the connection.
They may be holding on to secrets, going behind your back, and telling your own; they are really a backstabber. This person isn't your friend when you're not around but will act and pretend to be to your face. It's possible that the person in question isn't necessarily a worthwhile companion, and you should look towards other cards in the reading to indicate which area of your friendship they are acting in this way.
The Devil
The Devil tarot card is often associated with negativity, pain, and suffering. The card depicts a devilish figure positioned in the background. Before him, two people are chained in shackles, but the shackles are large enough for them to lift off of themselves. But, because of the intensity of the situation, they are unaware that they can free themselves.
In a friend or foe Tarot reading, this card may indicate that you or your friend feel trapped within the connection. It may have been comfortable and healthy in the past, but the current state of the friendship is unhealthy. If these are feelings you're currently having, you must know that you have the ability to walk away from the friendship. Once you put yourself first and remove what no longer serves you, you'll be free.
Six of Swords
The last card of the three cards in this section is the Six of Swords. The card depicts a family traveling on a boat, their backs to the viewer. They seem to be moving away from a situation and are ready to move on from their past baggage. If this card appears in your friendship reading, it's evident that it's time for you to walk away from the connection. Staying in this friendship will be detrimental to your peace of mind.
When the Six of Swords comes up in any Tarot card reading, it indicates a need to leave, and it's necessary for your growth and progression. If this friendship isn't something you want to let go of, look for other cards in the reading to indicate the reason why you must walk away. Then, decide if this is an issue you and this person can resolve together. Or if it's something that's set in stone.
