Card meaning

It's the seed of the fire suit: enthusiasm, initiative and the urge to create something of your own. It marks the moment to start, propose or commit to an idea that doesn't have its full shape yet. Reversed, it speaks of fading drive, false starts, delays or energy scattered across too many fronts. Its advice is usually to take the first concrete step while motivation is still alive.

Reading keys

  1. Upright: inspiration, new project, initiative, creative energy.
  2. Reversed: lack of motivation, delays, false starts or scattered drive.
  3. In love: attraction, awakening passion or the wish to rekindle the spark.
  4. In work and money: a new proposal, a venture or a project worth starting now.
