The Past

VI. The Lovers

Symbolism:
The Lovers stand under a blood-red moon, their forms entwined yet distinct. One figure appears human, while the other is clearly vampiric, emphasizing the tension between attraction and duality. Between them, a single rose blooms, its petals tinged with crimson—a symbol of both love and sacrifice. In the background, a shadowy figure looms, hinting at the influence of external forces or choices yet to be made.

Meaning:
The Lovers symbolize connection, union, and the choices that shape our relationships and paths. This card often appears during moments of deep emotional connection or when a major decision requires alignment with your values and desires. It reminds you to consider the balance of give and take in relationships, whether romantic, platonic, or spiritual.

Keywords:
Upright: Love, connection, union, harmony, choice, alignment, trust, passion.

 

 

 

 

The Present

0. The Fool

Symbolism:
The Fool is depicted as a pale, ethereal figure walking a misty, crumbling path, a bundle tied to a staff slung over their shoulder. They gaze skyward, unaware of the jagged cliff at their feet. A spectral wolf follows close behind, snarling a silent warning. Overhead, a full moon illuminates their journey, hinting at the mystery and potential of new beginnings. In their hand, a delicate white rose symbolizes innocence and purity.

Meaning:
The Fool represents beginnings, spontaneity, and boundless potential. It urges you to take a leap of faith, trusting in the journey ahead. While the path may be uncertain, embracing the unknown opens the door to growth, discovery, and self-expression.

Keywords:
Upright: New beginnings, innocence, spontaneity, potential, trust, adventure, curiosity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Future

XII. The Hanged Man

Reversed
Symbolism:
The Hanged Man is shown suspended upside-down from a barren tree, his foot bound by a chain of silver. His expression is serene, as if willingly surrendering to his predicament. A pool of crimson liquid forms beneath him, reflecting a full moon, symbolizing surrender and the potential for transformation. Surrounding him, shadows twist into shapes of wings, hinting at the freedom that comes through letting go.

Meaning:
The Hanged Man represents surrender, perspective, and the need to pause. It encourages you to let go of control and view a situation from a different angle. This card often signals a period of waiting or self-sacrifice, where stepping back can lead to greater understanding or personal growth.

Reversed, the Hanged Man warns of resistance to change, stagnation, or clinging to outdated perspectives. It may suggest the need to take decisive action after prolonged inaction.

Keywords:
Reversed: Resistance, indecision, stagnation, delay, refusal to see another perspective, avoidance.
