Face up Meaning: The blissful fulfillment that past work has brought.  Past relationships bring joyous outcomes.  Looking back at a happy, fulfilled past.  Delightful memories.  Harmony and balance.  Casting your eyes toward the future.  Associations that are full of pleasure.  Longings for success return home as tangible results.  Feeling protected and safe.

Reversed Meaning: Vanity and pride.  Nostalgia over your childhood.  Having no choice but to work hard every day.  A longing for the way thing were.  Not being connected to the present.  A selfish clinging to outdated things.  Feverishly wanting old rules to apply to new situations.  Your plans and goals are not likely to succeed.  Not being concerned if others are happy.  Resisting being happy.  Your time of joy is passing.

Message for the day: Enjoy and appreciate where life has brought you so far.  We are a product of our past and as such, we were meant to experience what we have so far.  Do not forget however, we are not meant to get stuck in one spot on our journey, but to continue growing and learning.  Respect the past, but keep moving toward the future, full of all the wonderful things life has waiting for you.
