What the card shows
The picture of a shadowy figure taking something really gets to the heart of this card: loss. It means something is getting smaller or being taken from you without you agreeing to it. This card is about things decreasing and being careful. It suggests you should look at where your resources might be slipping away.
This loss isn't always a big, dramatic thing. It could be as simple as a work project taking way more time than you planned, a forgotten subscription slowly emptying your bank account, or a one-sided friendship eating up all your emotional energy. What in your life right now feels like it's costing you more than you're getting back?
