Yes, but probably by the skin of your teeth. There will be cuts also.
The Queen of Swords is looking back to the past and away from the future. I'm wondering if the owner is not facing reality. Behind her we have 3 of coins this is our central card and shows the small shoestring budget that a lot of independent booksellers are facing here. The third coin faces downwards and I get the sense that this is the trend.
Over on the right hand side we have 7 of Batons. Six of those batons bar the way but there is a seventh that is just breaking through. The Queen needs to turn around though and face the other way if this possibility is to be realised.
The answer for the 'Queen' is in her hands, literally, she holds a sword but she needs to wield it and make the cut with the past so that the shop can move on and maybe expand into new directions. Someone needs to sit down and come up with a strategy.
Good luck with that, remember we magical folk need our antiquarian booksellers!
