Description

A blindfolded woman holds two crossed swords. Water and rocky islands behind her, a crescent moon to the side. The blindfold is hers. She chose it. The decision is hers too, and she's not looking.

Upright Meanings

A choice is sitting in front of you, and you're refusing to see it clearly. Maybe you don't have all the information. Maybe you do, and you're hoping it'll resolve itself. It won't. The longer you stay in the stalemate, the more it costs. Take the blindfold off. Pick.

Reversed Meanings

The blindfold is coming off, but the picture isn't clearing. Too much information now, conflicting advice, your head full of other people's voices. Quiet down. The right call is in there. It usually is. Listen for it without the noise.

Numerology
