Yes–no lean: Unclear
Draw it in the drawing room →Upright
A boat ferries swords and two figures over still water. Leaving a sore place needs no noise — the water ahead is flatter than behind.
Reversed
The crossing drags backward: a return to the old shore, or carrying both swords and wounds into the new one.
Love
Upright: after the squall, you two lower your voices, name the hurt, and let the boat reach flatter water; if single, you are drying out — don’t carry old swords into a new bed. Reversed: the bond is still rough — stuck, slow, or rocked by a third hand; leap before the wound closes and you trade the frying pan for fire.
Career & money
Upright: work eases — deadlines bite less, a better role/premises or overseas trip may appear; money leaves the red zone, but don’t flee the ledger or spend cocky. Reversed: the office turns choppy — troublemaker, changed plans, delayed tasks, cancelled travel; with money, don’t bolt — face the numbers and get advice.
On the card
A boatman ferries a hooded woman and child across the water, six swords standing in the bow. Choppy behind, smooth ahead.
