Love, work and health
Love
Upright: Nurture the relationship with care and build trust through everyday things; single, focus on improving yourself first.
Reversed: Work is crowding out love, or time together has become routine. Set aside some attentive time for each other.
Work and career
Upright: Good for honing skills, further study or certifications; steady growth in expertise will pay off.
Reversed: Bored by repetitive work, or perfectionism slowing progress. Practise a different way and find your engagement again.
Health and wellbeing
Upright: Good for a regular exercise habit that builds fitness bit by bit.
Reversed: Absorbed in work, you sit too long and rest too little. Set reminders to get up and move.
Health readings are everyday reminders, not medical advice; if you feel unwell, see a doctor.
