On the card
A hand emerges from a cloud holding a cup that overflows in five streams into a pond of water lilies, while a dove descends toward the cup carrying a small wafer.
Upright
Your heart is ready to open. This card brings a fresh wave of feeling, whether that is new love, renewed friendship or simply a deep sense of contentment. Emotion here is generous and nourishing. Let yourself receive kindness, and notice how much you have to give in return.
Reversed
Feelings may be shifting or hard to trust right now. You might sense that something looks loving on the surface but feels uncertain underneath, or your own emotions may be unsettled. Be gentle with yourself and allow time for your heart to find steady ground.
- Love & connection
- A new connection or a deeper emotional bond may be forming. Stay open, and let affection flow without rushing to define it.
- Work & purpose
- Work that touches your heart or helps others may feel especially rewarding. Follow the tasks that make you feel emotionally engaged.
- A prompt for you
- Open your heart to what wants to flow in.
