Yes–no lean: Yes
Draw it in the drawing room →Upright
A brimming cup offered out of the cloud. A new feeling — love, tenderness, forgiveness — asks to be poured in. Take it open-palmed.
Reversed
The cup tips over: feeling blocked, or drained somewhere unseen. Look for where you are turning off your own tap.
Love
Upright: a new romance knocks, or an old bond gets washed clean for a fresh start — open your heart. Reversed: you're still holding stale feelings or impossible standards, so the new water can't pour in.
Career & money
Upright: a job opening, a promotion, or good money news is flowing your way — your effort is being seen. Reversed: the work leaves you dry and uninspired, or the news you waited for — an application, a loan — hasn't come. Check what is draining your well.
On the card
A hand from a cloud offers a chalice overflowing with five streams; a dove drops a wafer into the cup. Lotus blossoms float on the water below.
