Clarity emerges from confusion, and the path forward becomes illuminated by newfound insight.
The Hanged Man Reversed

The Tower Reversed
The Tower reversed signals a fear of change or the avoidance of conflict, indicating that one may be clinging to a crumbling foundation. This resistance can prolong suffering and delay the inevitable awakening needed for true progress.
Knight of Swords Reversed
