Upright
Whatsoever is intimated by the design; also pain, affliction, tears, sadness, desolation. It is not especially a card of violent death.
Reversed
Advantage, profit, success, favour, but none of these are permanent; also power and authority.
Reflection
Light
Seeing the signs that you've reached your limits
Paying attention to what your body is trying to tell you
Giving in to the need for rest and renewal
Acknowledging that you've hit bottom
Committing to a turnaround
Knowing the worst is over
Shadow
Accepting defeat prematurely
Driving yourself to total exhaustion, especially mentally
Experiencing a mental breakdown
Obsessing on a problem to the breaking point
Giving up
Refusing to move from thought to action
Deeply unhealthy thoughts
Symbolism
A prostrate figure, pierced by all the swords belonging to the card.
Ace of Wands
Two of Wands
Three of Wands
Four of Wands
Five of Wands
Six of Wands
