Reversed meaning
Enthusiasm that burns out fast, no direction, or news delayed.
What is in the picture
A young person stands on open ground, both hands on an upright wand, looking up at its tip as though reading something only they can see. Their tunic is embroidered with salamanders, the creature that lives in fire. The desert around them is empty: nothing has happened yet, everything is still intention.
Love
Someone new appears, youthful and eager.
Career
A chance to learn a new craft. Try it before you are good at it.
