Upright meaning

This is a time when your thoughts gather in one direction. Judgments that haven't been put into words yet form a clear line in your mind, making it easy to distinguish between what is fact and what is worry.

Reversed meaning

Your thoughts are spreading in many directions and failing to settle. A delay in judgment might not mean there is no answer, but rather that you haven't gathered enough information yet.

In the past, present and future positions

When you draw three cards and read them as past, present and future, this card reads like this in each position.

Upright

Past — In the past, you were gathering your thoughts to find a direction for your life. You worked to establish life standards by distinguishing what was true. That process became the strength that supports your life now.

Present — Now, your thoughts are gathering in one direction and order is being established in your life. Judgments are forming lines in your mind, allowing you to distinguish what is true. You should focus on the process of clearly separating worries from facts.

Future — From here on, the shape of your life will be revealed very clearly. You will know for certain what is true, and the direction of your life will be set. The judgments in your mind will serve as clear milestones for your life.

Reversed

Past — In the past, it was difficult to find a direction for your life. Your thoughts were spread in many directions, and you could not find your way. As a result, your judgment became delayed.

Present — Now, you are in a situation where you must decide on your attitude toward life. Because information has not yet been fully gathered, your thoughts are spread in many directions. You should prepare your judgment by filling in the missing information now.

Future — From here on, the flow of your life will become clear. You will move past the hesitation caused by a lack of information and gain confidence. To achieve this, you need a process of gathering sufficient information.

As your card of the day

Upright — It would be good to write down what has been spinning in your head onto a single line of paper today. If you leave only two conditions and erase the rest, the decision you have been delaying will fall into place.

Reversed — It is better not to reach a conclusion first today. If you delay your decision until one more piece of information arrives, you will have less to undo later.
