In a Nutshell: Luck
Upright Interpretation:
There is the immense relief of getting something accomplished, of meeting a deadline, of coming to the end of a monumental task, the satisfaction of having completed a job-well-done. This is a happy cat-chasing-it’s-tale card, but with a game plan, a touche to the world. If no one else understands where you’re coming from, or how you’re going to do what it is you’re planning to do, know that you-- and the universe-- will have it all straight.
Reversed Interpretation:
The cat’s still chasing it’s tale, but this time it’s going in mindless circles with no game plan and not a clue as how to stop the merry-go-round to get off. You’re a long way from done, says the reversed Wheel of Fortune. Everything is left open, up in the air, with nary a solution or set date of completion in sight. Get a grip. Don’t let life, or unforeseen circumstances, rule the outcome of your day, your week, your month, or your life.

In a Nutshell: Justice
Upright Interpretation:
This is easy, I’m Libra, and I’ve been cursed with the insane tenacity for justice so beautifully inspired by my sun sign. The iconic figure on this card will give up a lot for The-Principle-Of-The-Thing, even when this type of sacrifice may seem pointless and even silly to the multitudes. Sometimes it might even seem unnecessary to the Libra making their point, once some time has passed and things can be put in perspective. But, never-the-less, by god, we’re playing by the book here.
Reversed Interpretation:
Someone is going to get away with a load of crap, bogging people down, beating the system, cheating the public, or some poor individual who doesn’t even see it coming. The system failed. Yes, it did, when Justice is standing on her head. But never fear, once she rights herself and the blood returns to her brain, she’ll be thinking clearly again...and so will you.

In a Nutshell: Martyrdom
Upright Interpretation:
This guy is almost too good to be true, they usually are, and the ones who honestly meet this criteria never seem to stay around. Their life is just one episode after another of seeking out a way to enlighten themselves and move up the spiritual ladder. This character is the guy that got away, the one that was too good looking, too accomplished, too self-righteous to be real (but he probably was), you’ll just never know for sure because he’s off chasing causes.
Reversed Interpretation:
Reversed Interpretation:
“Get off your Self-Righteous high horse already!”, you want to tell The Hanged Man when he’s standing on his head. This is the character who isn’t going to do any good deeds unless he’s sure that someone will see him in action. He wants to get credit for all of his Goodness, and he relishes hearing the multitudes sing his praises. He wants you to think he’s spectacular and special, so you won’t ever see the Other Side of him. Vanity and Ego are his brothers.

In a Nutshell: Transition
Upright Interpretation:
Bow before the universe and kiss the ground, because you’ve just escaped an unpleasant fate. Does this mean that from this point on life will be all easy and rosy? No, absolutely not, in fact it will probably get worse before it gets better, because you are in for some Big Changes, like it or not. The skeletal figure on this card, ironically The Grim Reaper, is here to drag you through a major life transition. It won’t do you any good to fight it, off you’ll go, kicking and screaming all the way. Persevere.
Reversed Interpretation:
After reading the morning news and all the tragic things that have happened to people all over the world, you sigh with relief, because this is happening to Someone Else...well, don’t feel so lucky so fast. Look over your shoulder. Fate has just caught up with you, and it’s going to bite you in the ass. The black energy of Scorpio is unmistakeable when this card is reversed. It’s scary, as though every boogeyman you’ve ever been afraid of all throughout your life has just congregated right outside your front door-- and he’s knocking, expecting you to let him in.

In a Nutshell: Balance
Upright Interpretation:
You are doing everything right, by the book, with a clear conscience. Your mother would be proud of you. Is everything going to work out, just because you’re doing everything the way it should be done? Not necessarily, but at least you’ll have nothing to feel guilty about. Life, at this point, will at least feel stable and grounded, and you might get to catch your breath for a brief moment before the universe throws you another curve ball. Only in the movies do the good guys always win.
Reversed Interpretation:
Someone isn’t playing by the rules. Tsk, tsk, the bad guy may be masquerading as a saint, keep your eye on him. The double edged sword of Sagittarius is telling us that now would be a good time to jump out of the box and think between the lines. It’s okay, really, it is, if you have to break a few rules here and there to get a positive outcome for the Bigger Picture. Think “Hunger Games”, “for the good of all”. It’s kind of scary, isn’t it?
