20 – Judgement: "you're hiding from change rather than actively participating in it: playing it safe or ignoring a call to action. Judgement reversed is the stagnation that arises from being too self-satisfied or too self-critical."
0 – The Fool: "Something is holding you back from authenticity. You may be overcome by hesitation and timidity, or overcompensating by being reckless or wacky. The Fool reversed is rooted in self-doubt, fearful of confronting the true self."

3 – The Empress:
"Your own needs need tending to. It is necessary to "mother" yourself and be your own support system. Perhaps you are being let down by someone in a carer's role. The Empress reversed can denote codependence: needing to be needed in order to validate your self-worth, feeling like your true self isn't good enough."
Affirmation: I nurture myself and create abundance in all areas of my life.
Meaning (reversed card): In reverse, The Empress warns against neglecting oneself or others, creative blockages, or feeling disconnected from the natural rhythms of life and nurturing energy. It may indicate a lack of self-care, difficulties in expressing creativity, or challenges in relationships. It calls for a reconnection with the nurturing aspects within oneself, embracing self-love, and cultivating harmony in all areas of life.
Queen of Swords:
Affirmation: I embody mental clarity and emotional strength, making wise decisions rooted in truth and compassion.
Meaning (reversed card): In reverse, Queen of Swords' meaning can indicate emotional detachment, harshness, or a tendency to use intellect as a shield against vulnerability. It may suggest a need to balance your rationality with emotional intelligence and empathy. Reversed, the card advises you to reflect on any areas where you may be too critical or dismissive of others' emotions, or where you may be suppressing your own emotions. It encourages you to cultivate compassion, consider different perspectives, and find a balance between your head and your heart.

6 of swords: A necessary but painful change after hard truths are realized. You are seeing things clearly, perhaps for the first time but clarity is a cold comfort.
