Keywords
- Change
- Chance
- Cycles
- Turning point
This is a phase shaped first by the current that carries you, not only by what you do. It is not mere luck, but closer to the due date for what you have built; there may be delay, but not error.

Keywords
- Stagnation
- Routine
- Setback
- Spinning
The flow has not ended; you may simply be spinning in the same place. First tell whether the wheel is moving forward or turning in place.
In everyday life
- Love
- You may meet by chance or hear from someone you had forgotten. Going out and engaging with the world changes this result the most.
- Work
- This is an opportunity that arrives rather than one you created. Decide whether to take hold of it.
- Money
- When you move with the flow, money comes in; when you fight it, it leaves. Timing matters more than the amount.
- Growth
- This is one of the few cards in the deck without a fixed protagonist. Accept the cycle with a willingness to move with it.
