Divination usage
This indicates changes in affections and the breaking of irrelevant links with the past - a turning away from existing relationships and objects of affection with the intent of progressing to that which is new and deeper in meaning. A change or gaining of perspective, this can indicate disillusion with the present, inaugurating the growth of greater future contentment and depth.
This card usually carries the meaning of disillusionment and abandonment of things which have not been emotionally fulfilling.
