Sacrifice
In the Outcome position
Outcome of the present path.
Meaning: This card indicates that a willing sacrifice of some kind will be called for.

On a deeper level, the Sacrifice card is asking you to look at your attitudes toward control. Sometimes it is necessary to relax and let go, to let events take their course.
