Life's Crossroads and Decision-Making Challenges
This card represents a life crossroads, a threshold accompanied by difficulties in making decisions for the next step. It reflects the tendency to delay time and an unwillingness to move forward, as one stands at the precipice of choice.
Exhaustion Following Intense Activity
Following a flow of energy and intense work, exhaustion and burnout inevitably follow, when nothing feels desirable or possible. To continue something in a new key, time and new strength are needed to regenerate and find fresh direction.
The Sphinx's Challenge
The Sphinx, as guardian of the gates, poses riddles to everyone who wishes to pass further. It devours those who delay too long with their answer or respond incorrectly, emphasizing the importance of timely and accurate decision-making when facing life's crucial crossroads.
Visual Description
A seated sphinx-like creature with a human face and long hair looks outward, its muscular body and folded wings rendered in soft, desaturated tones. One forepaw rests on a smooth orb while the other paws are planted on the ground; a small Roman numeral II is centered at the card's base. Two tall, slender pale stems or staves rise behind the figure against a muted, star-speckled sky and rolling hills. The scene is contained within a thin decorative border and framed by gentle, earthy colors.
