Meaning

Here you are, facing your limiting beliefs. All these thoughts that are blocking you create a lot of confusion in you. Do not act like a victim. Those difficulties do not come from outside, but were created by your own mind. As your state of mind takes a more physical form, work on a hopeful and positive vision to help you break away from those negative beliefs.

Visual Description

A small pale green ghost stands at the center of a grassy mound, its sheet-like form drooping and its face turned downward in a sad expression. Eight swords are planted tip-first into the ground around the ghost, forming a loose ring. Delicate spiderwebs fan out behind the figure against a mottled sky, framing the scene. The colors are soft greens, browns and muted reds, and the composition feels enclosed yet gently whimsical.
