When a difficult situation degenerates into a true mess, only bold, forthright action can bring success. This reading portrays the situation of a person facing an obstacle to forward progress -- and an obstacle behind as well. There is no way forward, no going back. The situation is so complex there appears to be no way out. When this happens, you must re-enter the fray, friend. Do your best not to worry too much about the results. Look for help from above -- from others in positions of authority and power; if you can find such help, success becomes probable. In the end, of course, you can never escape your fate.
