Divinatory Meaning

Upright

The card speaks for itself on the surface, but other readings are entirely antithetical--giving joy, mildness, timidity, honour, modesty. In practice, it is usually found that the card shews the decline of a matter, or that a matter which has been thought to be important is really of slight consequence--either for good or evil.

Marriage with a fair woman.

Reversed Meaning

Reversed

Great joy, happiness, feasting.

Perfect satisfaction.
