Editor’s Note: Tarot Readings are a major thematic and stylistic component of the 2020 X-Men comics event, X of Swords. Since it’s not a field I know, I’m excited to bring in a specialist to provide unique readings based in the Tarot connections of the story. We’ll be running these Tarot examinations following each of the event’s 22 parts. Enjoy!
Mutants are taking part in a quest for the protection of the whole Earth. Each of the 22 chapters on their journey corresponds with a Major Arcana card from Tarot. This time let’s see how Cable #5
is the fifth chapter on X of Swords, and as I stated in my previous tarot readings it should correspond with a Major Arcana card from tarot, in this case that card is number 4, The Emperor. 
which relates to the Major Arcana number 3, The Empress.
