Upright meaning

This is a situation where you turn away while holding your swords. Instead of a direct confrontation, you are looking for another way. This may not be deception, but rather a wise avoidance. It is about protecting something larger by avoiding the immediate fight.

Reversed meaning

This is a direction where what was hidden is revealed, or conversely, where you confess on your own. Either way, there are fewer places left to hide.

Upright

Past — In the past, you did not fight life's problems head-on. You chose another path to avoid the conflict in front of you. The desire to protect something larger remained.

Reversed

Past — In the past, you tried to avoid the situation or hid something. You hesitated while watching the situation without making things clear. Because of that, a situation where you had to hide your feelings continued.

Present — Now, the facts you hid are coming out into the world. You are facing things head-on by confessing your mistakes or revealing what you hid. You are realizing that there is no longer anywhere to hide.

Future — From here on, places to hide will decrease and everything will become transparent. As the things you concealed are revealed, the situation will be settled. An attitude of revealing yourself honestly is important.

As your card of the day

Upright — Today, taking a detour is better than a direct approach. If there is something difficult to say directly, put it off for a moment and try to resolve it in a different way.

Reversed — It is better to bring out what you have been hiding today. They say if you speak before someone else finds out, the burden is cut in half.
