Reversed

Keywords: The same, but the results are disastrous; another account says —conception, childbirth, augmentation, multiplicity.

Upright

Keywords: Triumph, the excessive degree in everything, conquest, triumph of force. It is a card of great force, in love as well as in hatred. The crown may carry a much higher significance than comes usually within the sphere of fortune-telling.

Upright

Keywords: Venus in Scorpio; overactivity; annoyance; satiety, disgust. What a moment ago was a source of lust and enjoyment has lost now its attractiveness. The blossoms let their heads droop and their flavor has become stale. The emotions are out of balance again, and the indication is that some deep disappointment has still not been resolved. You have tried to cover over old wounds, but the diversionary tactic hasn't helped. After every binge, after every attempt at flight, the leering face of your old problem rises all too clearly before your eyes and colors your experience of the situation gloomier and gloomier. Indications: It's time to open your eyes and take a look at (perhaps a painful) reality. Only by perceiving, by recognizing your own inner reality, will you be freed! Every further attempt to avoid it increases the stagnation of your emotional energy
