Upright
- rest
- recovery
- contemplation
- sanctuary
Retreat and recuperate. Your mind needs rest — this pause is not laziness but survival.
Reversed
- restlessness
- burnout
- forced rest

You resist the rest you desperately need, or illness forces the pause you wouldn't take.
A knight lies in repose beneath stained glass — sacred rest after battle.
