4 of Swords
The Four of Swords steadies mental activity. It stands for stepping back, for the pause, and for the need to let thought find its organisation again.

Four straight swords line up in two pairs, one above the other. The blades stay parallel and of equal length, in a layout where no crossing appears.
A withdrawal you choose, bounded in time and decided by you, puts order back into a crowded analysis: stepping back makes readable the points that were mixing.
The pause settles in and lasts longer than planned: contact breaks, files move on without you, and coming back costs more than if you had stayed present.
Symbolism TdM. With the IV, the construction reaches its first square form, and the Marseille image makers answer it with a perfectly regular count.
Block out a short slot where you read nothing and decide nothing: that time is part of the work as much as the files it puts back in order.
