Minor Arcana · Ten of Swords
The Fallen Banner
Ending · exhaustion · dawn
The banner fell. Dawn arrived with a discouraging lack of interest in the official narrative.
Upright
Something has reached its limit. Stop spending strength on making the ending look like progress. There can be relief in admitting that this chapter cannot continue as it was.
Reversed
Recovery may begin with refusing to repeat the final scene. Take stock of what remains and rebuild at a scale you can actually sustain.
A question for you
What is finished, even if I have not said so?
Take it into the day
Name one ending and preserve one useful thing from it.
