MAIN MEANING
This is the most malicious card from all the Minor Arcana cards. It means infamy, dishonesty, meanness, a horrible scandal, a looming conflict. The card doesn’t specify whether you are to blame for it, or whether you are a victim. This will be revealed by other cards in the reading. In any case, you can expect a win equivalent to defeat.
WORKIt is a difficult period. You are surrounded by gossip, intrigue, slander, insults, in most cases, accompanied by getting fired. There may be even court proceedings. The card can also mean a blow to your ambitions – failing an exam or a project, an unsuccessful deal. Sometimes it means acting impudently – stopping at nothing to achieve your goal.
CONSCIOUSNESSIn this aspect, the card shows a period of aggressive thinking, which is expressed by irritability and thirst for destruction, misanthropy and the cult of violence. Sometimes it is directed against yourself – from risking your own health to attempting suicide. Worst of all is when you present your destructiveness for virtue or serving a higher cause. In the area of self-knowledge, the card can mean a sudden crushing of the old ideals, which will first make you feel desperate, but subsequently may become a beginning of the path to discover the truth.
PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPSThis is a period of backstabbing, meanness, filth, bile, hatred, inhumanity, revenge. Sometimes it seems the partners are ready to strangle each other in a fit of rage. This is either an already broken relationship, or a relationship heading for a break-up. The partners have nothing to lose, they are not willing to compromise unless a third party gets involved. The mediation is possible, if both partners agree to it.
