The sun REVERSED
Keywords:
Feeling down, blocked happiness, overly optimistic, pessimism, negativity, depression, unrealistic expectations, conceitedness, arrogance, stillbirth/abortion, carelessness.
General:
Reversed this is still often a positive card. Some readers will tell you that there is no downside to this card, but in real life there can be downside to even the most positive things. Or at least seem like it. But let’s be real, pretty much everyone has at least a story or two about a time they had too much of a good thing.
At its best this card can just be a diminished version of its upright version. Sometimes it shows up when you are way too confident or overly optimistic about a situation.
On the flip side, it often shows up when you are having a hard time seeing the good in your situation. And in its worst manifestation it can represent a situation that for all intents and purposes should make you happy, but for whatever reason still cannot manage to produce contentment or joy.
Try to see the positives in life right now, even if it doesn’t seem like there are any. Happiness isn’t something that some people just have and other people don’t, it usually it comes as a result of effort and perspective. So if you can, try to be mindful of the fact that it is the act of choosing gratitude which brings joy into our lives.
Money/Career $
When this card shows up reversed, it may be hard to see how good your situation is at the time. You may even feel stuck or dragged down by your career.
It may be that feel you are being unfairly treated or that your skills are not being put to their best use at this time. But if you hold your head up high, get in a positive frame of mind, and stand up for yourself at work, this has the possibility to turn around. Whatever you do, don’t let negativity ruin opportunities that you might be within your grasp.
Financially, this could indicate a downswing in money matters. Likely, this comes as a result of your own choices and perspectives. Give your behaviors and attitudes a once over and see if they could stand to benefit from an adjustment.
Love / Relationships <3
This card can arise when someone is feeling discontentment within the relationship. Sometimes a partner just isn’t right for us. But on the other hand, it’s easy to take relationships for granted. You may not know the how good you had it until that person is long gone and just what exactly it is that you have lost slowly begins to dawn on you.
Before doing anything that might affect your relationship negatively, take a good hard look at what you have and ask yourself if you are truly appreciating it. Are your expectations realistic? Are you doing your half of the work? Have you begun letting thoughts of greener pastures spoil what you have presently? Giving up can seem easy at the time, but it doesn’t usually end up being very easy in the long run.
No relationship is all sunny days, and who knows the clouds might be just about to break. But maybe you just can’t endure them anymore. And if thats the case, that is ok too, there will be other opportunities for love ahead.
