Meaning in Situations

At last the tense period, the worries, and the anxieties are behind you. Much calmer times may now set in — a time when you can restore yourself and gather all your thoughts. Perhaps you should take a trip somewhere to release the tension and restore harmony and balance. Most likely, an opportunity will arise for you to go somewhere, or guests will arrive from far away. Now is the time to gain new knowledge, and you are mentally ready for it. Right now you can look back with ease on all the problems you have had and draw useful conclusions for the future. There may be an event that frees you from your suffering. You can finally abandon your destructive pattern of behavior completely.

Reversed Meaning

All your efforts have proved futile; you have failed to extricate yourself from the unpleasant situation. You realize you are stuck and have no prospects of escaping your problems. Most likely, the decision you made is not suited to the current situation. Perhaps in resolving it you chose the easiest solution rather than the right one. It is like an ostrich burying its head in the sand. You must finally face the truth and start solving your problems instead of hiding from them.

It is impossible to leave the danger zone. Unstable ground beneath your feet. A chain of repetitive, karmic situations.

Reversed Meaning: Relationships

An unsuccessful change of partner, endless attempts with ever new candidates.

Reversed Meaning: Personality Type

A person trapped in a circle of vicious repetition, possibly of their own making.
