Upright Meaning
Today this witch is experiencing the worst cramps of their entire life, made worse by the fact that they chose to ignore their body’s cues for rest. If this sounds like a habit you have, then this card is a loud & clear callout: resting is a necessity, not an option, so quit acting like it! Don’t worry, this doesn’t mean you have to do nothing during this period (though that’s always an option, of course). Feel free to do things to strengthen your mind, knock out some of the books on your ever-growing TBR list. Listen to a podcast on a topic you’ve been curious about for a while, stream some equally interesting & informative documentaries. Just don’t overdo it—that would defeat the purpose of your mini hiatus.
Reversed Meaning
You kept debating giving yourself a break until it was too late—now you have no choice but to rest, the timing could cause a mess in other parts of your life, or it could be fine. The lesson is either a warning or a lesson to you about the importance of self-care.
