Symbols
A figure lies on the ground with a blanket partly covering him and 10 swords impaled in his back. This is a card of feeling let down and stabbed in the back by someone. It is a card of anxiety, loss and misfortune.
Meaning
This card can be similar to the Death card in symbolism, in that something has come to end- metaphorically the situation is dead- however that means that there is also some rebirth and renewal.
The gold in the sky represents the new day dawning. The darkest hour is just before dawn. This does not minimize the sense of pain or loss, however it is a sign that there is hope in the future.
This card can also point to an over-reaction to something, maybe making a mountain out of a molehill or someone who is a hypochondriac or a Drama Queen.
