The Scarab, revered in Ancient Egypt as a symbol of the cyclical nature of life and the sun’s daily rebirth, reflects your own unending cycle of tasks and responsibilities. Your burnout stems from this continuous rolling of life’s burdens, and from your never-ending to do list.
This card suggests you’ve been caught in a loop of doing that lacks any real rest or rejuvenation. The Scarab’s journey, which is meant to symbolise transformation and growth, has instead become a metaphor for your repetitive, exhausting endeavours. You seem to have forgotten that if you want something different, then you need to do something different to get it.
Another aspect of this card implies that there’s an important life lesson staring you right in the face right now, and that until you recognise what it is, and accept it, you’re not going anywhere.
