Protection and cleansing. Release what does not belong to you. Reflection: What energy needs clearing? Cedar arrives as a protector and purifier. This card carries the energy of cleansing, release, and spiritual safety. When Cedar appears upright, you are being supported in clearing away heaviness, stagnant energy, or burdens that were never yours to hold. It encourages you to create space around your heart and spirit so that clarity and peace can return. This card affirms that you are safe to let go — safe to set boundaries, safe to release old stories, safe to stop carrying the emotional weight of others. Cedar reminds you that protection is not about walls; it is about intention. When your energy is clean and grounded, you move through the world with greater strength and calm. Whether through reflection, ritual, nature, or conscious choice, you are entering a moment where something heavy can finally fall away.

Reversed

When reversed, Cedar suggests that heavy or intrusive energy may be clinging to your space or spirit. You may be overwhelmed, carrying emotions that aren’t truly yours, or feeling energetically drained by people or situations. This card reversed asks: What have you taken on that does not belong to you? It can also indicate avoidance — knowing something needs to be cleared but hesitating to confront it. Perhaps you fear the discomfort of letting go, or you’ve grown accustomed to weight that no longer serves your well-being. The reversed Cedar encourages gentle but firm action. Purify your environment, your thoughts, or your emotional field. Release what feels sticky, heavy, or misaligned. The moment you begin clearing, protection strengthens.
