Reversed Card Meaning

In the reversed position, this card says that you need to work harder, as well as improve your skills and knowledge and learn to apply them to your projects. Because you are afraid to take risks, you may lose excellent opportunities for career growth. Most likely, your workload has grown because no one can quite pin down what it is you actually do at work. You are trying, yet you feel undervalued — or you take no satisfaction in your work at all. It seems boring to you and needed by no one. Instead of merely thinking about your duties at work, you should carry them out conscientiously — only then will you get the result you want.

Shoddy work, two left hands. Routine work, carelessness.

Reversed Meaning: Work

Hackwork (both in the sense of poor quality and of odd jobs). Consumer goods (production and trade). An attempt to earn money without breaking a sweat.

Reversed Meaning: Health

Overdoing health-improvement procedures. Overuse of medication, overexertion from excessive sport, going too far with plastic surgery. Yet none of this does serious harm to health.

Reversed Meaning: Relationships

A relationship that is poorly built yet strong; it satisfies both partners. No development.

Reversed Meaning: Personality Type

Indifferent, careless about many things. "After me, the flood."

Reversed Meaning: Advice and Warning

Advises doing things however they come, without straining too much. Warns that you are cutting corners.

Reversed Meaning: Yes or No

You will not manage to shine with craftsmanship. A job, repair, or commission done poorly.
