[edit] Suggested Divinatory Meanings
- A pyrrhic victory
- Revenge or a victory that seems sweet at the time but which sows the seeds for a bitter fruit
- Devious plots ... nasty or petty office politics
- Acting selfishly, unjustly, or with insensitivity
- Degradation and humiliation
- A no-win situation, cut your losses while you can
- A warning to choose your battles wisely
- Someone who always has to be right. (When this card comes up in a relationship reading, it can mean: "Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?")
- You can win the battle but lose the war by "hitting below the belt." It's best to walk away now or risk losing your integrity as well.
