Upright
An ending; this is transformation, not literal loss.
Reversed
Clinging to the past, fear of change, stagnation.
How to read this card
Notice your first impression of the image, then hold the upright and reversed meanings as two ends of one spectrum. What the card says depends on your question, the neighbouring cards and your own situation, so treat it as a prompt for reflection, not a fixed answer.
Tarot is not a substitute for medical, legal, financial or psychological advice. This material is intended for self-reflection and entertainment, not prediction.
