Stillness and forced rest is the theme of this card. The mind needs to come to rest. One way to do this is to meditate. Through meditation you try to empty your inner self, so that you become receptive to receiving messages or insights.
So here we have a standstill of all activities. Stillness and enforced rest can also relate to an illness, where this is a necessary condition for healing.
