Description: A man, with his head bound in a bandage, leans on his staff, as if awaiting the arrival of an enemy. He has fought previously, and is quite prepared to fight again. Behind him there stands eight wands, in order like a palisade. These suggest the boundary of that which he protects.

Divinatory Meaning: A pause in a struggle. Preparedness, strength held in reserve. Opposition. Eventual victory, but a steady effort needs to be applied. If attacked, the person involved will defend himself rigorously.

Reversed: Obstacles are to be overcome. Adversity, delay, displeasure.
