We notice the dreary color of this card. Could it be that the Querent or person in the card is surrounded by uncertainty, fears, doubts, worries, cloudiness, and confusion? Most definitely. There are many Swords surrounding the figure in this card. She is dressed in red so it would appear she has the desire to be out of this situation, but does not know how to get out of her troubles. In fact, she put herself right in the middle of the problems and is trying hard not to move for fear that she may fall into the water causing more sensitivity and unbalanced emotions. She may fall in any direction if she does not carefully plan the path she must take. Her eyes and heart are bound. She doesn't want to see the truth and is very afraid of letting herself love again or be in a position where she can be hurt. The castle is behind her to the right of the card that means that love, happiness, prosperity, joy, inner peace, guidance, strength, wisdom, self confidence and self esteem can be reached, but she is not prepared to look towards the future at this time as she is so afraid to make changes. She must look forward to change the negative energy around her.
