Readings by topic

Love

Upright — This is a situation where there are feelings not yet revealed on the surface. If you look at the meaning held in silence rather than words, you will see the true nature of this relationship.

Reversed — You are turning away from something important. If your heart is sending signals from deep within, it is better to first check where those words are pointing.

Work

Upright — Now is the time to listen to your inner voice rather than taking action. If you first identify the signals that have not yet appeared, the order of tasks to handle will settle into place.

Reversed — You are turning away from what you already know. Checking where your inner anxiety is pointing will prevent your work from becoming scattered.

Money

Upright — This is a situation where you do not need to reveal your spending habits outwardly. If you first address the lack you feel internally, your spending will settle into place on its own.

Reversed — Unrevealed expenses are weighing on your mind. If you re-examine your spending habits, things will settle down. Start by checking where your inner anxiety is pointing.

Choices

Upright — This is a situation where you do not need to rush a decision. If you first sense the underlying flow, the choice you should make at the crossroads will reveal itself.

Reversed — You are trying to make a choice without listening to your inner voice. Checking where that voice is pointing will last longer than choosing based only on outward appearances.

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, a truth existed that was not outwardly visible. You struggled to find wisdom by listening to your inner voice. That quiet time left you with deep insights into life.

Present — Now, you are in a situation where you are quietly waiting and observing yourself. You are building wisdom by focusing on your inner voice. You need an attitude of looking for the unseen truth rather than outward phenomena.

Future — From here on, your inner voice will guide your direction in life. You will discover the profound aspects of life through deep wisdom. You should maintain an attitude of quietly waiting and observing yourself.

Reversed

Past — In the past, you failed to properly see important parts of your life. You lived while ignoring the signals coming from within. Because of this, you moved forward having missed the truth of your life.

Present — Now, you are ignoring important values in your life. You live while ignoring the signals sent by your inner anxiety. You need an attitude of first checking where your anxiety points.

Future — From here on, the hidden truth will change your direction in life. You will come to know the reality of life by following inner signals. Maintain an attitude of observing where your inner anxiety points.

As your card of the day

Upright — Trust your intuition more than logic today. A feeling that cannot be explained in words will show you the right direction. In that quiet space, your intuition will become clearer.

Reversed — Be careful of hidden information today. What you see on the surface may not be everything.
