It’s time for a new adventure, but there is a level of risk. Consider your options carefully, and when you are sure, take that leap of faith.

Your dreams and your intuition provide the answers you need. This is a psychic card, revealing that truth comes from unconventional sources. You may find a wonderful course, guide or advisor at this time.
Home: A time for privacy. You may need to study, read, or enjoy peace and quiet. Cloister yourself away if you need to.
Relationships and love: Hidden issues; guidance in love.
Career and money: Wise advice from a trusted source. Personal empowerment at work; success comes through looking at what’s missing, rather than what’s there. Spiritual development: Help from a mentor; a deepening of your commitment. Is she upside down? You may be let down by an authority figure pro other person you trust; there’s aside to this situation that has been covered up-until now. | | | III The Empress says: Life is abundant
Enjoy this productive, joyful time when you’ll have the energy to develop your projects, decorate your home, spend time with children, and give yourself a little luxury. Money flows and love grows under The Empress’s influence.
Home: Contentment and harmony at home. You might consider extending your home or premises.
Relationships and love: The mother, or nurturing woman; the wife or partner. Children and family, love and happiness.
Career and money: You’re managing your money and other resources well, and can help others, too. Work-wise, this is a time of career growth. Your past efforts will be rewarded. Spiritual development: Give time to your creative projects now. Creativity helps connect us with our spiritual, intuitive side.
Is she upside down? Household problems, lack of time and money, and even a difficult older woman are the meanings of the Empress reversed. Hold on-things will improve if you keep calm. | | | IV The Emperor says: All is in order
Help, protection and the influence of a powerful individual for whom action speaks louder than words. Tradition is the watchword of The Emperor, so this is a time to play by the rules rather than flout convention.
