Upright
The card speaks for itself on the surface, but other readings are entirely antithetical--giving joy, mildness, timidity, honour, modesty. In practice, it is usually found that the card shews the decline of a matter, or that a matter which has been thought to be important is really of slight consequence--either for good or evil.

Light
Wanting something better

Going on a retreat
Seeking the "still, small voice"

Finding fault
Nitpicking
Refusing to settle down
Running away from problems or confrontations

Threatening to quit as a strategy to get your way
