The Cell is not a room, it is a state of being. Whether it is four walls or a silent state of mind, it is a space where time stretches and the noise and distractions of the world fade. This card brings you to the place where there is no where left to run - only inward. Sometimes it is punishment, sometimes it is protection, sometimes it is the only place that transformation can begin. You are on pause whether chosen or forced. The cell invites stillness and deep reflection. Solitude. You may be cut off from others but you are not cut off from yourself. This is a chance to listen, not to the world, but to the quiet truth that only shows up when everything else is stripped away. Stillness can be sacred.

Reversed

You may be feeling trapped, disconnected or left behind. The cell reversed can point to isolation or loneliness that has gone from healing to harmful. You were not made to live in silence forever. This is your nudge: reach out, unlock the door, crack the window. You are not alone. And you don’t have to do this by yourself.
