Love

Upright: Gatherings and friends' introductions make it easy to meet someone; together, join in activities and let your friends get to know your partner.

Reversed: A third party, a blurry situationship, or friends interfering may cause trouble. Keep boundaries clear.

Work and career

Upright: Good team spirit; good for celebrating a win, teamwork, working across teams or growing your network.

Reversed: Office gossip or cliques are draining, or there is more socialising than progress. Bring the focus back to the work itself.

Health and wellbeing

Upright: Time with friends lifts your mood; good for team sports or a trip together.

Reversed: Too many dinners and drinks; watch your alcohol and food, and give your stomach a rest.
