Upright meaning
An image of tense confrontation: dreams of war, struggle, a quarrel. Look at the details — whom the conflict touches, between whom it runs, where it leads. Sometimes it is a call to break through stagnation and transform disharmony. And sometimes it is a reminder that stepping out of an endless drama is not defeat: to lay down the sword and walk away from what serves no good is a victory over yourself.
Reversed meaning
In reversed position
You are stepping out of a conflict, or have already withdrawn from it. To walk away from what cannot be mended is not weakness but maturity. Do not spend yourself on someone else's war: focus on what is truly in your power to change. Your peace is your victory.
