Sterility

Sterility, when interpreted in the context of the swords suit, particularly relates to the Queen of Swords. This condition is associated with a state of barrenness or, more broadly, the inability to produce offspring, which might also symbolize themes of infertility and barrenness. Sterility can emerge as an outcome from suffering, often linked with emotional and physical distress, possibly stemming from certain astrological qualities. This concept encapsulates both the literal inability to bear children and deeper, emotional states that can lead to a barren existence.
