In a Reading

A moment of suspension that you can turn to your advantage. To think, to be careful how you present your ideas at a meeting at work. Or, in a home or work situation, everybody gets what’s coming to him, speaking out to bring about dissension or criticism that is crafted to point out someone else’s flaws will reflect poorly on you. Not all battles will be won and some are not worth fighting. Additionally, time to pause, to think. Be careful of voicing strong opinions that others may find offensive. Use diplomacy. In the path of a new venture, for spiritual or material birth, a pause is necessary.

A time for prayer and meditation, a sacrifice, the gift of oneself.

This card can also represent immobility from pregnancy, illness, a block that makes it impossible to take action.

Other Traditional meanings; Letting go, surrendering to the wisdom of personal experience, giving up control, accepting fate, changing your mind or reversing your actions to avoid exposing yourself, stopping to think.
