This card is the symbol of ultimate ending. A man lays on his stomach on the beach, ten swords in his back. Things are as bad as they can get. It is not meant to represent physical injury, rather mental or emotional injury. Much like the card Death, it represents an ending. But as we know, endings always lead to new beginnings. The card looks bleak, but a peak at the horizon reveals that the dawn is coming, which symbolizes a new day. Key terms include endings and beginnings, being let down by someone, feelings of anxiety, or literally, being stabbed in the back by someone.
