Love, work and health
Love
Upright: Many admirers or options, but unsure which is real. Beware of idealising someone; see them as they are.
Reversed: You are starting to see who and what you really want; moving from fantasy to reality, you can choose.
Work and career
Upright: Many opportunities that are hard to choose between, or an attractive-looking offer. Check each one's feasibility before deciding.
Reversed: A muddle of options is becoming clear; a good time to focus and make a concrete plan.
Health and wellbeing
Upright: Watch for escaping into food, shopping or late nights; choose things that truly rest body and mind.
Reversed: You are setting more realistic health goals; start with small things you can actually do.
Health readings are everyday reminders, not medical advice; if you feel unwell, see a doctor.
