Unhealthy attachments, addictions or limiting beliefs hold you captive. The chains are loose — recognising the pattern is the first step to freedom.
Reversed meaning
- release
- breaking free

You are breaking free from what has bound you and reclaiming your power. Keep facing your shadow side honestly so the old pattern does not return.
