Description
Seated in quiet contemplation, a dreamer retreats into a state of sadness. Behind her are the depths of her emotional waters, extending beyond her view of the world. Beside her rest four cups, symbolic profferings of love - yet sadly, she cannot see them, as her eyes remain closed and unaware of her options.

Inquiry
How can I work with the depths of my shadow? How can I break out of any stagnant patterns? I seek to shift the internal and external illusions I retreat into rest and reorientation instead of apathy
Upright Meaning
As our own reflection fades into shadowed obscurity, it can be difficult to see the world around us as a place for healing and light. This card speaks of the tormented emotional states that can often impair our grasp on reality. When depression, self-pity, or sadness sink in, and we retreat into our own world, our sensations and feelings can be overpowering and illusory. We may feel lost, hopeless, or even complacent, which may be an indication that we should consider our emotions head-on, and examine the roots of our anguish. If you are fearful or indifferent about making a change, you may continue to dwell in a perpetual state of limbo. This card may also suggest that you are overlooking something; perhaps a solution is closer than you think. You have a system of love and support in your life - how can you source from this unconditional strength?
Reversed Meaning
You are close to breaking free from a state of stagnation or boredom. It is time to escape the routines or habitual patterns that have kept you trapped. If there are opportunities or new adventures calling you at this time, take a moment to consider them: they may very well be your ticket out. Now is the time to make positive changes in your life and to take action. Be open with your heart and feelings. An opportune window to focus on new projects and life goals.
