Upright
Loss, theft, privation, abandonment; another reading says-hope and bright prospects,
Reversed
Arrogance, haughtiness, impotence.
Reflection
Light
Hoping for the best
Believing good things happen to good people
Seeing events in the best possible light
Adopting a generous spirit
Seeking guidance from above
Embracing possibility over probability
Shadow
Denying unpleasant truths
Denying personal accountability and saying, "Things just happen!"
Ignoring signs and omens
Preferring illusion to reality
Spreading pessimism and stinginess of spirit
Symbolism
A great, radiant star of eight rays, surrounded by seven lesser stars--also of eight rays. The female figure in the foreground is entirely naked. Her left knee is on the land and her right foot upon the water. She pours Water of Life from two great ewers, irrigating sea and land. Behind her is rising ground and on the right a shrub or tree, whereon a bird alights. The figure expresses eternal youth and beauty. The star is l'étoile flamboyante, which appears in Masonic symbolism, but has been confused therein. That which the figure communicates to the living scene is the substance of the heavens and the elements. It has been said truly that the mottoes of this card are "Waters of Life freely" and "Gifts of the Spirit."
