Upright
You are close to the end and tired, which is normal at this stage.
Hold one more round before changing strategy.
The defences you built are doing their job even if they feel heavy.
Boundaries here protect progress rather than block it.
Do the last ordinary task and skip the dramatic rethink.
Reversed
Guardedness has become the main activity.
The exhaustion is from carrying preparation you no longer need.
Watching for threats keeps you from finishing the work.
Ask someone reliable to hold the line for a day.
Decide what is actually at risk, then relax the rest.
Original Chinese reading
Upright: 警觉、带伤坚持、临门一脚
Reversed: 戒备过度、身心俱疲、放弃
