Ruin

Keywords

Meaning

The complete collapse of mental structures, the old paradigm falls entirely. Though devastating, Ruin clears the ground completely, making way for entirely new ways of thinking to emerge from the ashes. Sun in Gemini.

In short

A painful ending, the lowest point: something collapses completely. But precisely because you hit bottom, the worst is over: from here you can only rise. Accept the ending and prepare to begin again.

Reversed

You begin to recover after the collapse, or you delay the inevitable ending. Let what is over die: dawn comes right after the darkest night.
