33. Restriction

A cage can be a safe container when rest and focus are needed, but it becomes harmful if it prevents growth and freedom. This card invites honest reflection: The Cage can also represent self-discipline, boundaries, or intentional solitude, but the distinction lies in whether the walls are transparent and temporary, or stifling and permanent.
