Upright Meanings
A new bond is forming. Could be love, friendship, or a partnership at work. What matters is the balance. Both sides bring something. Both sides are met. The feeling is genuine and the alignment is real. Honor it by showing up the same way back.
Reversed Meanings
The balance broke somewhere. One side is pulling, the other is pulling away. Resentment that wasn't named is doing the work now. The fix isn't fancy. It's a conversation neither of you wants to start. Start it anyway.
