In These contexts it usually depicted very blunt straightforward talks, not always pleasant, but very very honestly discussing a matter, which then was leading to a monumental Change in communication and/ or behaviour.

As I said not sure this helps.

Yes it is helpful Ceridwen. I'm using the Witch's Tarot deck

I don't know why when I upload images from my phone tinypic rotates them.

Editing in 2/3 the whole spread with clarifiers (for clarifiers 1 is too few and sometimes 3 seems like too many, but for some reason an even number of clarifying cards does not work for me)

--------------------------------------------
studying the card led me to looking up the symbolic meaning of the dragonfly and the number 5. Very briefly, the number five is about finding new ways of doing things, independence and individuality. Both the number 5 and dragonflies represent change and adaptability. And swords are about thoughts and one of my favorite readers refers to swords as a process, like you mentioned above.

(of Course it usually Comes up for Arguments, also mental abuse at times, and mostly about fierce competition with a losing and a winning Party, too)

Thank you! If you think of anything more please don't hesitate.
-------------------------
I am going to edit in different key words and ideas as I come across them from other readers- negative and positive.

Perform- I like this one because for me it relates to Leo, and I know that if this card is related to Aqua, then the easiest way I understand aqua on a deep level is through Leo..kind of weird.

Achieve-

Steal energy from others-

The human consciousness that we want to change-

Forcing ourselves to perform in a manner that is not common for us or not in our highest interest

Work and pressure- here Ill note that for maybe 14 years I have been working solo, or for myself (self-employed). I picked up a part time gig that has taken more of my attention and energy than expected or wanted really, but there are many reasons I haven't left yet. Sometimes I can see that I am one of a few people in the place who can make the necessary changes. Without even committing to make those changes in my own mind, I found myself in a position where I could nit side-step confronting the perpetrator of many of the problems- the general manager and my boss.

So for me the 5 swords can be about changing a thought process and letting go of things that no longer work in order to get to the calmer waters of the 6 swords.
