Love
Upright — Now is the time to stop and wait. If you change your perspective, you will see a new corner in the path that seemed blocked between the two of you.
Reversed — There is a difference between simply enduring and truly waiting. It will last longer if you first identify what you need to let go of in this relationship.
Work
Upright — When you stop your hands and take a step back, a path you couldn't see will open. Even if things seem stuck now, changing your angle will help the work fall into place again.
Reversed — If you try to force things through strength, work will only become more blocked. It is better to identify what needs to be let go to reach the next stage than to push forward from where you are.
Money
Upright — It is time to stop your spending. If you change how you look at money, the flow of expenses that seemed blocked will become visible again.
Reversed — Because you have been forcing it, your spending patterns are disorganized. If you first identify what you need to let go of, your finances will settle down on their own.
Choices
Upright — This is not a time when you must choose right now. If you step back and change your angle, you will see one more path between the two options that you hadn't noticed.
Reversed — You are simply enduring at a crossroads. There is something you must let go of regardless of which way you go, and if you do not address this, the time to choose will only be delayed further.
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, the flow of your life was stationary. You endured by sacrificing yourself to gain something. That patience created the current stopped state.
Present — Now, your overall life situation is in a pause. You are waiting while striving to let something go. Rather than forcing movement, you should pause and observe the situation.
Future — From here on, the rhythm of your life will change anew. If you look from a different angle, a new path will appear. Prepare your heart to let go of something in order to gain what is real.
Reversed
Past — In the past, it felt as though the flow of your life had stopped. You held a heart of forcing yourself to endure for the sake of something. What that time left behind is the frustration caused by not being able to let go.
Present — Now, you are stagnant without a set direction in life. You are maintaining an attitude of resisting and forcing yourself to endure. You need an attitude of contemplating what to let go of.
Future — From here on, you will experience a process of delay in your life's flow. You will move away from the habit of forcing yourself to endure and see a new path. You can practice letting go in advance.
As your card of the day
Upright — It is wise to delay decisions and observe the situation today. Try thinking from a different perspective.
