When Ptah shows up in this position, he’s pointing to a person who is trying to command creation with precision. To be clear, he’s pointing at you. Practically speaking, it means that you’ve been holding too tightly onto the reins of control and perfection. This card suggests that it’s time to loosen your grip, and to release both your compulsion for constant productivity and your need for flawless execution.
You need to set down the tools of your trade, if only for a moment, and instead allow some space for imperfection, incompletion and rest.
It’s time to let go of the unyielding standards that you have been holding yourself (and probably everyone else) to… because it’s likely that they’ve turned your joy of creation into a dread that’s being caused by utter exhaustion.
