Love, work and health
Love
Upright: Feeling alone or unsupported in love, or money pressures straining the relationship. Ask for help; you do not have to carry it alone.
Reversed: The hard time is passing; you are drawing close again, or starting to get the support you need.
Work and career
Upright: Money may be tight, income unsteady, or work difficult. Take stock of your resources and actively look for help and openings.
Reversed: Things are improving; a new income or some help may arrive, and you are working your way out.
Health and wellbeing
Upright: You may feel run-down or catch cold easily; keep warm, eat well and rest, and see a doctor early if you feel unwell.
Reversed: Your health is steadying; keep up a good routine and good nutrition.
Health readings are everyday reminders, not medical advice; if you feel unwell, see a doctor.
