Meanings
Called Cruelty in the Thoth Deck.
This card is about suffering, delay, doubt and deprivation. The focus is on blocked progress and anxiety. What looks like loss or failure will provide an opportunity to grow, and perhaps to eliminate fear. Wait for things to resolve themselves. You will have good fortune later on.
Ther also is another possible interpretation. The card might show a person just awaking from a nightmare. In this, it shows the moment when we consciously realize our problems. This is painful but growth is possible from there on.
