This tarot arcanum can often forecast mental abdication, resignation, or discouragement. It is giving up on your dreams and desires, and can often signal the failure of current or future projects or undertakings.
 
The tarot card is extremely negative in every domain; money, work, love… Anyone affected is submissive once they have stopped to even try. They are paralyzed in their actions by a power they cannot fathom.
