Knife

What it can mean

Knives often represent cutting ties, making decisions or the need to set boundaries. They can also mirror conflict, sharp words or a feeling of being hurt. Holding a knife may point to your own power to separate what serves you from what doesn't.

A question to sit with

What do you need to cut out of your life — or protect yourself from?
