Influence of the present on the situation: Strength

Straight Up

So, what's 'upright' all about? Here's a rundown:

• being stubborn as a mule
• having the kind of perseverance that makes others green with envy
• sticking to one thing like glue
• trusting yourself big time
• ignoring what the rest of the world thinks

Translated, you could say that people who fit the 'upright' description have grit. They're determined. They don't let anything distract them and stay laser-focused on what they want to achieve. Thanks to this tenacity, they usually end up doing something pretty awesome.

Upside Down

Now, let's flip things over. When it's 'reversed', things look different:

• feeling like your get up and go, got up and went
• losing touch with real life
• struggling to help yourself
• being a picture of weakness and vulnerability

This means that the 'reversed' card points to people who are running on empty, feeling disconnected from the real world. It's tough when you feel lost like this, it's like being in a dark room without a torch. This card shines a light on those tough times when you're struggling to find the strength to face challenges head-on.
