Self-care includes knowing when enough is enough. Maybe what you need most is the silence offered in nature.

Artist’s Notes:

I placed a statue of French knight in golden armor on top of a marble tomb. His hands are in prayer. There is a beautiful stained glass window behind the knight. Four swords float above the warrior laid to rest. The scene is serine and peaceful. Traditionally, this card represents the respite after battle, rest, reflection and relaxation. Reversed, this card can represent fighting after the battle is loss, restless, refusal to acknowledge the battle is already over, or being ineffectual.

MONEY: If you’re paranoid about your financial situation, remember that nonsworry isn’t healthy long term.

CAREER: Your work is frustrating and and the toll it’s taking may point to a needed rest.
