Image Description

A twilight path in a dark forest opens a space towards a light ahead. Scattered across the ground are loose rocks that may trip our steps along the way, but with perseverance, we will reach our destination. This is simply one last challenge to endure. We know that we can easily cross over these bumps in the road.

Upright Meaning

As you continue moving on in striving to reach your goals, a minor setback or obstacle might suddenly get in the way. This card asks you to step into your resilience and inner resolve – you are almost there, so now is not the time to give up! Your hard work and efforts are close to a state of completion and success, and you have the inner strength and perseverance to keep on rising. As time goes on and you become more accustomed to these shifting cycles within your own work and power, you may also be aware of other people who will try and deplete your energy and confidence. This is only natural and may come with the territory of being successful. Do not let go of the root of your inner-strength: it too is rising and learning to evolve and transform.

Reversed Meaning

Perhaps life is feeling overwhelming due to an overflow of responsibilities or limitations. These pressures may create boundaries surrounding your sense of freedom and self-expression, manifesting in those lower vibrational emotions (like resentment, jealousy, or fear) that tend to hold us back. If you are subconsciously feeling tormented about something, this in turn may lead to a sense of being judged or criticized by others. Now may be a good time to work on your spiritual health – mind, body, and spirit. Give yourself some gentle care or tending.
