In a love reading
Something specific and real has wounded you here — a betrayal, a rejection, a truth you did not want spoken — and this card refuses to let you minimize it into something smaller. Name exactly what hurt and let yourself feel the full size of it before you try to move past it.
Reversed
The blades are being drawn out, slowly and with real effort, one at a time, and what's left behind each one is a tender scar rather than an open wound.
As you, in the relationship
You are hurt, and it is shaping how you behave here.
Reversed
You are just past the worst of a hurt and still flinching.
What you want and dread at once
You hope to be past the hurt.
Reversed
You are afraid of being hurt in that particular way again.
